Strobing
I want to test whether strobing the display (disco light effect) can help me get less nauseaus when moving in VR, as suggested in this paper: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20070...
I agree, there is definitely an impact on immersion from strobing. But I get sick from moving and turning, not just in extreme situations, so I would like to have a number of options that can help reducing nausea and that are used only when you move or turn so as to minimize the impact on immersion. I already have a few options in my experimental demo, but I am interested in adding strobing not only because of the study but also because it seems to be a way to see whether the Rift's display is showing information from one frame only or whether it somehow mixed several frames, which might show a problem in the setup or configuration.
Btw, thanks for the link to the video of comfort mode. I tried that as well but I think strobing might be a good alternative option to have not only for movement (as opposed to turning only), but also because it might be more immersive to some: strobing light can happen in real life, whereas in comfort mode you teleport yourself into a new orientation.
