The Effect of Field-of-View Restriction on Sex Bias in VR Sickness and Spatial Navigation Performance

Are Modern Head-Mounted Displays Sexist? A Systematic Review on Gender Differences in HMD-Mediated Virtual Reality

“…The experiments were very heterogeneous regarding the number of participants tested, ranging from a minimum of 14 (Robert et al, 2016) to a maximum of 234 (Roettl and Terlutter, 2018). With the exception of a few studies (Munafo et al, 2017;Juan et al, 2018;Melo et al, 2018;Al Zayer et al, 2019), the other studies did not report a balance between male and female participants. Such imbalance may undermine the validity of these studies regarding the reported gender differences.…”

“…An overview of these studies, their methodologies, and their findings are reported in Table 1 . Two of the included studies were published in 2016 (Allen et al, 2016 ; Robert et al, 2016 ), three in 2017 (Cárdenas-Delgado et al, 2017 ; Munafo et al, 2017 ; Wilson and Kinsela, 2017 ), eight in 2018 (An et al, 2018 ; Juan et al, 2018 ; Khashe et al, 2018 ; Melo et al, 2018 ; Mousas et al, 2018 ; Rangelova and Marsden, 2018 ; Roettl and Terlutter, 2018 ; Scheibler and Rodrigues, 2018 ), eight in 2019 (Al Zayer et al, 2019 ; Bracq et al, 2019 ; Chang et al, 2019 ; Clifton and Palmisano, 2019 ; Liang et al, 2019 ; Moroz et al, 2019 ; Narciso et al, 2019 ; Shafer et al, 2019 ), and one in 2020 (Curry et al, 2020 ).…”

Exploring Blink-Rate Behaviors for Cybersickness Detection in VR

“…The task consists in an exploration game where players must collect as many coins as possible within a large virtual maze over a period of time. Coins are placed in such a way that it constantly pushes the player to move forward 1 . Lastly, each participant plays a level for a total of 8 minutes.…”

“…Although a wide variety of research has been conducted on this topic, no specific explanation currently exists on what exactly contributes to this phenomena. The most popular theory includes the visual-vestibular conflict [8] and visually-induced self-motion illusion [1]. However, the literature often presents conflicting results when it comes to pin-pointing the exact causes of cybersickness.…”

Investigating Effects and User Preferences of Extra- and Intradiegetic Virtual Reality Questionnaires

“…Most of them use extradiegetic UIs. Their design choices differ from each other in (1) the means of presentation, for example using floating headup-displays [9,12,23], world-referenced UIs [14,18,24,29,[34][35][36] or UIs attached to the body [43], (2) the means of interaction, mainly by using VR-controllers [18,23,24,29,35], gamepads [2,9,14], answering orally [12] or using free-hand interaction via Leap Motion gesture-based inputs [32,34,36,43], and (3) other design choices like presenting single or multi-questions at once, answering via Likert-scales [29,[34][35][36]], text-based buttons [23] or sliders [2,9,14,18].…”
