I Am The Passenger: Challenges in Supporting AR/VR HMDs In-Motion

Abstract

This video provides an overview of our research into the use of Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) in-car and in-motion. These immersive HMDs offer new possibilities for entertainment and productivity during travel. However, their use is confounded by motion sickness, caused in-part by the conflict between visually and physically perceived motion. Moreover, consumer HMDs cannot currently distinguish between the head motion of the wearer and rotations of the car. These problems represent significant impediments to their use in-motion, which our research aims to overcome.
