Abstract

The size of the virtual reality market is growing every year, but cybersickness that occurs in virtual reality has not been resolved yet. In this paper, results were derived through experiments on the relationship between cybersickness and gaze guidance occurring in virtual reality contents. Using eye tracking technique, the relationship of gaze movement with cybersickness was identified. The experiment was divided into two groups to find out whether visual induction affects cyber sickness. In addition, the results were analyzed by dividing the two groups to check whether cyber sickness showed different results according to gender. We also analyzed using the SSQ questionnaire to measure cybersickness. We tried to understand the relationship between gaze guidance and cybersickness through two methods. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the induction of a clear gaze caused the concentration of the gaze, and it was effective in cybersickness through the rotation of the camera. In order to alleviate cyber sickness, it has been confirmed that concentrating one's eyes through gaze-guided production is effective for cyber sickness. It is hoped that this result will be used as a way to alleviate cyber sickness for producers who want to use virtual reality to produce content.

가상현실 시장의 규모는 해마다 성장하고 있으나 가상현실에서 일어나는 사이버 멀미는 아직까지 해결되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실 콘텐츠에서 일어나는 사이버 멀미와 시선 유도와의 관계에 대해 실험을 통해 결과를 도출하였다. 시선추적기법을 활용하여 시선의 움직임이 사이버 멀미와의 관계를 파악하였다. 시선 유도가 사이버 멀미에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 두 그룹으로 나누어 실험하였다. 또한 사이버 멀미가 성별에 따라 다른 결과를 보이는지 확인하기 위해 두 그룹을 나누어서 결과를 분석하였다. 사이버 멀미를 측정하기 위해 SSQ설문을 사용하여 분석하였다. 두 가지 방법을 통해 시선 유도와 사이버 멀미와의 관계를 파악하고자 하였다. 실험의 결과 명확한 시선의 유도가 시선의 집중이 일어나게 하였으며 카메라의 회전을 통한 사이버 멀미에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사이버 멀미를 완화하기 위해서는 시선 유도연출을 통해 시선의 집중을 하게 하는 것이 사이버 멀미에 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과가 가상현실을 이용해서 제작하려는 제작자들에게 사이버 멀미를 완화할 수 있는 하나의 방법으로 사용되어 콘텐츠 제작에 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
