For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Cybersickness in Head-Mounted Displays Is Caused by Differences in the User's Virtual and Physical Head Pose Abstract Sensory conflict, eye-movement, and postural instability theories each have difficulty accounting for the motion sickness experienced during head-mounted display based virtual reality (HMD VR). In this paper we review the limitations of existing theories in explaining cybersickness and propose a practical alternative approach. We start by providing a clear operational definition of provocative motion stimulation during active HMD VR. In this situation, whenever the user makes a head movement, his/her virtual head will tend to trail its true position and orientation due to the display lag (or motion to photon latency). Importantly, these differences in virtual and physical head pose (DVP) will vary over time.

Pavelka, jr.1, B. Michalík 2 1 Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Civil Engineering, dept. of Geomatics, Thakurova 7, Prague 6,16629 [email protected] 2 G4D s.r.o., Prague, Czech Republic, Hauptova 594 156 00 Praha 5-Zbraslav, Czech Republic, [email protected] KEY WORDS: Virtual reality, photogrammetry, laser scanning, BIM, documentation ABSTRACT: Virtual Reality (VR) is a highly topical subject in many branches of science and industry. Thanks to the rapid development and advancement of computer technology in recent years, it can now be used to a large extent, with more detail to show and is now more affordable than before. The use of virtual reality is currently devoted to many disciplines and it can be expected that its popularity will grow progressively over the next few years. The Laboratory of Photogrammetry at the Czech Technical University in Prague is also interested in VR and focuses mainly on documentation and visualization of historical buildings and objects. Our opinion is that in the field of virtual reality there is great potential and extensive possibilities. 3D models of historical objects, primarily created by photogrammetric IBRM technology (image based modelling and rendering) or by laser scanning, gain a completely different perspective in VR. In general, most of the newly designed buildings are now being implemented into BIM.

  • Phantoms, Crashers, and Harassers: Emergent Governance of Social Spaces in Virtual Reality
    Phantoms, Crashers, and Harassers: Emergent Governance of Social Spaces in Virtual Reality Author: Anne Hobsona July 2020 Working Paper 2020.013 The Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University is a university-based academic research center that explores the scientific foundations of the interaction between individuals, business, and government. This working paper represents scientific research that is intended for submission to an academic journal. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University or the views of Utah State University. a Anne Hobson is a PhD student in economics at George Mason University. Abstract This paper examines the process by which human interactions give shape to social order in VRChat, a multiuser virtual reality (VR) platform. It relies on primary and secondary source analysis and case studies to show how polycentric governance solutions arise to solve collective action problems such as harassment in virtual reality social spaces. Game developers and end users coproduce informal and formal rules to govern behavior in a polycentric order wherein venue-specific rulesets compete. Case studies from VRCh- at demonstrate that VR social spaces that empower users to self-moderate and coproduce the rules by which they are governed lead to more robust, self-sustaining communities. Furthermore, user-specified governance (that is, rulesets that are created by and tailored to users in the community), in contrast to platform-imposed governance, is critical to sustaining cooperation in VR social spaces. 2 1. Introduction Virtual reality (VR) is “a computer-generated display that allows or compels the user (or users) to have a sense of being present in an environment other than the one they are actually in, and to interact with that environment” (Schroeder 1996, 25).

My use of transcode, a term introduced by the semiotician A.J. Greimas and carried into the digital realm by Lev Manovich, refers to how cultural elements such as assumptions, biases, priorities emerge within programming code and software. It demonstrates how cultural norms persist across different mediums and posits that, in many ways, the capacity to be flexible defines cultural ideologies. At the software level, programming languages work like performative speech: grammar which produces effects. When cast as speech, coming from a body (or bodies) instead of hardware, information structures can be perceived as acting within regimes of corporeality; when cast as software, information structures demonstrate and advertise the capabilities of hardware. Although often aligned with veracity and stability in its proximity to (computer) science, software is not culturally neutral.

The mission of ADL’s Center for Technology and Society is to ask the question “How do we secure justice and fair treatment for all in a digital environment?” Since 1985, when it published its report on “Electronic Bulletin Boards of Hate,” ADL has been at the forefront of evaluating how new technologies can be used for good and misused to promote hate and harassment in society. At the same time, ADL has worked with technology companies to show them how they can address these issues and work to make the communities their products foster more respectful and inclusive. We continue this work today alongside Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, and others. This report represents a forward-looking review of the hopes and issues raised by the newest ecosystem of community fostering technology products: social virtual reality, or social VR.
