Effect of using Walk-In-Place Interface for Panoramic Video Play in VR

Abstract

This paper describes the use of walk-in-place (WIP) interface to control the speed of 360-degree panoramic virtual reality (VR) video on a head-mounted display and through a pilot user study, the effect of using this interface with respect to the amount of simulator sickness and presence in the environment felt by the user is evaluated. The results are compared with traditional 360-degree VR video experience.
