Description

Virtual Reality sickness has been mostly investigated is multifactorial (user, environmental/workspace, hardware, interactions). However, more and more use cases require long exposure with Augmented Reality glasses, which could lead to potential user AR sickness and discomfort. The objective of this work is to find which factors could make the AR users sick or disoriented during interaction in AR setups. The main task will consists of implementing the patterns of virtual content and help with experimenting to identify the possible factors that could induce AR sickness.

Task

Develop a prototype of visual patterns with different conditions for Snap and/or Magic Leap glasses and/or Meta Quest 3 see through.
Test the implementation on a sample of users

Prerequisites

Programming skills and exploratory mindset
