Women are more likely to experience virtual reality (VR) sickness than men, which could pose a major challenge to the mass market success of VR. Because VR sickness often results from a visual-vestibular conflict, an effective strategy to mitigate conflict is to restrict the user’s field-of-view (FOV) during locomotion. Sex differences in spatial cognition have been well researched, with several studies reporting that men exhibit better spatial navigation performance in desktop three-dimensional environments than women. However, additional research suggests that this sex difference can be mitigated by providing a larger FOV as this increases the availability of landmarks, which women tend to rely on more than men. Though FOV restriction is already a widely used strategy for VR headsets to minimize VR sickness, it is currently not well understood if it impedes spatial learning in women due to decreased availability of landmarks. Our study (n=28, 14 men and 14 women) found that a dynamic FOV restrictor was equally effective in reducing VR sickness in both sexes, and no sex differences in VR sickness incidence were found. Our study did find a sex difference in spatial learning ability, but an FOV restrictor did not impede spatial learning in either sex.

减少 VR 疾病的视野限制不会阻碍女性的空间学习

女性比男性更有可能体验虚拟现实 (VR) 疾病,这可能对 VR 的大众市场成功构成重大挑战。由于 VR 疾病通常是由视觉前庭冲突引起的,因此缓解冲突的有效策略是在运动过程中限制用户的视野 (FOV)。对空间认知的性别差异进行了深入研究,有几项研究报告称,男性在桌面三维环境中的空间导航性能优于女性。然而,额外的研究表明,这种性别差异可以通过提供更大的 FOV 来缓解,因为这增加了地标的可用性,而女性往往比男性更依赖这些地标。尽管 FOV 限制已经是 VR 头戴设备广泛使用的一种策略,可以最大限度地减少 VR 不适,目前尚不清楚它是否会由于地标的可用性减少而阻碍女性的空间学习。我们的研究(n=28,14 名男性和 14 名女性)发现动态 FOV 限制器在减少两性 VR 疾病方面同样有效,并且在 VR 疾病发病率方面没有发现性别差异。我们的研究确实发现了空间学习能力的性别差异,但 FOV 限制器并没有阻碍任何性别的空间学习。
