Abstract—Virtual reality (VR) is a promising technology in biomedical engineering, but at the same time enlarges another problem called cybersickness. Aiming at suppression of cybersicknes, we are investigating the influences of vection-induced images on the autonomic regulation quantitatively. We used the motion vectors to quantify image scenes and measured electrocardiogram, blood pressure, and respiration for evaluating the autonomic regulation. Using the estimated motion vectors, we further synthesized random-dot pattern images to survey which component of the global motion vectors seriously affected the autonomic regulation. The results showed that the zoom component with a specific frequency band (0.1 – 3.0 Hz) would induce sickness. Keywords—cybersickness, autonomic regulation, motion vector, vection-induced image, random-dot pattern

Background

  • Development of digital imaging technology is producing many image

formats, resolutions, frame rates, in addition to conventional factors.

  • Current digital imaging technology is also creating extraordinary special

effects that we have never seen or experienced.

  • Contrary to the benefits, digital imaging technology is widely spreading

unexpected visual stimulus.

  • Not only entertainment, but also practical problems are emerging

especially in the virtual reality (VR) or the virtual environment (VE).

  • Regarding visually induced illusions of self-motion, it has been reported

that the mismatch between visual system and vestibular system causes sickness (sensory conflict theory) . Cybersickness

Time-Varying Behavior of Motion Vectors in Vection-Induced Images In Relation to A utonomic RegulationIEEE EMBS04 at San FranciscoSeptember 4, 2004

  • We studied influences of vection-induced images in the relationships

between autonomic nervous activity related indices and motion vectors of images.

  • Autonomic nervous activity was evaluated from R-R interval, blood pressure,

and respiration. The motion vectors including global and local motion vectors were estimated by the data compression technique.

  • According to the time-varying behavior of motion vectors, the temporal

high-frequency (over 3 Hz) with steady low-frequency of GMVs possibly caused cybersickness.

  • Similarity function of GMV showed a similar behavior of the number of

trigger points as a function of time. Cybersickness could be predicted by the similarity function of GMV

  • However, we have not yet concluded whether the unpleasant feeling was

caused by the content of the vection-induced image or the structure of the image scene (the frame rate, the vibration of objects, etc).

Conclusion
