Eye Direction Control and Reduction of Discomfort by Vection in HMD Viewing of Panoramic Images

We have previously proposed an “eye direction exaggeration method.” That facilitates rearward visibility by exaggerating the angle of the eye direction when viewing panoramic images with an HMD in a seated position. In this study, we improved this exaggeration method. However, the exaggeration sometimes increased discomfort such as VR sickness. We also tried to reduce discomfort by presenting horizontally moving particles and inducing vection stably.
