“…The potential of gaze-contingent displays to reduce the incidence of VR sickness has also been explored. Adhanom et al (2020b) explored the utility of foveated field-of-view (FOV) restriction to reduce VR sickness. FOV restriction (tunneling) is a popular technique to reduce visually induced motion sickness (Fernandes and Feiner 2016) that involves blocking the peripheral view of users by a restrictor to minimize optical flow in the peripheral parts of the retina which are sensitive to it.…”

“…Most current implementations of FOV restriction do not respond to eye gaze and could reduce immersion and the sense of presence. Foveated FOV restriction (Adhanom et al 2020b), however, implements a restrictor that moves with the user's eye gaze that would allow the users to see a bigger part of the visual scene while still blocking their peripheral vision. This allows greater visual exploration of the environment when compared to fixed FOV restrictors.…”

Eye tracking is becoming increasingly available in head-mounted virtual reality displays with various headsets with integrated eye trackers already commercially available. The applications of eye tracking in virtual reality are highly diversified and span multiple disciplines. As a result, the number of peer-reviewed publications that study eye tracking applications has surged in recent years. We performed a broad review to comprehensively search academic literature databases with the aim of assessing the extent of published research dealing with applications of eye tracking in virtual reality, and highlighting challenges, limitations and areas for future research.

“…Upon examining the individual papers, we further argue that these results do not indicate that FOV is a dead-end for cybersickness reduction research. Of the papers that did not produce significant results, one compared two variations of a FOV technique against one another rather than an FOV technique against a control condition Adhanom et al (2020). Three of these papers had exceedingly small sample sizes of 12 Bala et al (2018), 17 Ferdous et al (2018), and 18 Norouzi et al (2018; Buhler et al (2018).…”

This literature review examines the existing research into cybersickness reduction with regards to head mounted display use. Cybersickness refers to a collection of negative symptoms sometimes experienced as the result of being immersed in a virtual environment, such as nausea, dizziness, or eye strain. These symptoms can prevent individuals from utilizing virtual reality (VR) technologies, so discovering new methods of reducing them is critical. Our objective in this literature review is to provide a better picture of what cybersickness reduction techniques exist, the quantity of research demonstrating their effectiveness, and the virtual scenes testing has taken place in. This will help to direct researches towards promising avenues, and illuminate gaps in the literature. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement, we obtained a batch of 1,055 papers through the use of software aids. We selected 88 papers that examine potential cybersickness reduction approaches. Our acceptance criteria required that papers examined malleable conditions that could be conceivably modified for everyday use, examined techniques in conjunction with head mounted displays, and compared cybersickness levels between two or more user conditions. These papers were sorted into categories based on their general approach to combating cybersickness, and labeled based on the presence of statistically significant results, the use of virtual vehicles, the level of visual realism, and the virtual scene contents used in evaluation of their effectiveness. In doing this we have created a snapshot of the literature to date so that researchers may better understand what approaches are being researched, and the types of virtual experiences used in their evaluation.
