Abstract

We present a prototype of a smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) viewer, which can cover nearly the full human field-of-view (FOV). The prototype suggests that such extensions are feasible ways to significantly expand the FOV of standard VR viewers. The concept can be employed for future VR viewers or it can even be retrofitted to some existing ones.

Expanding the Field-of-View of Head-Mounted Displays with Peripheral Blurred Images
UIST '16 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 29th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

Head-mounted displays are rapidly becoming popular. Field-of-view is one of the key parameters of head-mounted displays, because a wider field-of-view gives higher presence and immersion in the virtual environment. However, wider field-of-view often ...
Simulation of the Field of View in AR and VR Headsets

Abstract
Technical parameters of today’s Optical See-Through Head Mounted Displays (OST-HMDs) do not fully match the industrial requirements yet: Especially the small field of view (FoV) of current OST-HMDs is a hindrance for industrial use. The FoV is a ...
Don’t Block the Ground: Reducing Discomfort in Virtual Reality with an Asymmetric Field-of-View Restrictor
