IEEE VR 2021 Birds of a Feather

Shared interests bring VR 2021 attendees together! Registered attendees are invited to create their own social sessions using IEEE VR 2021 Virbela, Discord. These are attendee-organized explorations or collaborations on topics impacting the field. We encourage attendees to consider any topic or idea, including purely social gatherings aimed at hanging out and chatting with other attendees.

How? Register a BoF session using the google form on VR’s Discord (#bof)!

We will collect them until Monday afternoon and create separate Discord channels for each. These will be published on Monday, also on the website, and in Virbela. Each organizer can use a Virbela room, the Discord channel, and will need to provide a zoom link for the video. As the organizer, you are responsible for ensuring a safe environment that follows the conference Code of Conduct. Please feel free to reach out to anyone on the conference committee if you need assistance, and please report any problematic behavior.

BoF: Towards real-time evaluation of cyber-sickness in VR

Take me to the event:

Yuyang Wang

Description: Cybersickness is an annoying issue in locomotion-dominated VR applications, while the online evaluation of cybersickness during the use of VR will benefit many developers and researchers. Currently, an approach to evaluating cybersickness is using subjective questionnaires (e.g., SSQ), but the questionnaire-based evaluation will interrupt the experiment and introduce huge individual variances. Can we develop some tools to report cybersickness in real-time according to physiological signals such as EDA, Heart rate, EEG, Posture sway, etc.? Which feature can be extracted as the best online cybersickness indicator? Can artificial intelligence algorithms work? How can we validate its performance? If you have any ideas or are interested in this topic, come to join us!
