Reducing Visual Discomfort for VR Browser based on Visual Perception Characteristics

사람 시각 특성을 활용한 가상현실 브라우저에서의 시각적 피로도 절감 기술

VR browser is one of the most popular applications for VR(Virtual Reality) environment. However, because most of the web contents are not designed considering the VR environment, scrolling the web pages in the VR browser causes much visual discomfort. We found it's because the angular velocity of the eye movement during scrolling increased because the viewing distance got closer compared with legacy devices. So we have developed a technology that regulates the scrolling to reduce the visual discomfort in the VR browser, in reference of the visual perception characteristics of the human visual system.
