Dynamic Cybersickness Mitigation via Adaptive FFR and FoV adjustments

Abstract

This paper presents a novel adaptive Virtual Reality (VR) system that aims to mitigate cybersickness in immersive environments through dynamic, real-time adjustments. The system predicts cybersickness levels in real-time using a machine learning (ML) model trained on head tracking and kinematic data. The adaptive system adjusts foveated rendering (FFR) strength and field of view (FOV) to enhance user comfort. With a goal to balance usability with system performance, we believe our approach will optimize both user experience and performance. Adapting responsively to user needs, our work explores the potential of a machine learning-based feedback loop for user experience management, contributing to a user-centric VR system design.
