A VR remote collaboration system developed by researchers at Japan's Tokyo Metropolitan University aims to reduce VR sickness in immersive 3D environments. The system allows users on Segways equipped with 3D cameras and accelerometers to share their observations and the feeling of movement in real time with remote users in modified wheelchairs wearing VR headsets.
Tests found that the addition of movement resulted in a 54% reduction in VR sickness, which occurs when users see motion in VR headsets without actually moving. The researchers found the optimal setting involved sending about 60% of the acceleration suggested by visual cues to the modified wheelchair's wheels.
