Abstract
With technological progress, wide field-of-view (FOV)
displays will become increasingly common. Wide FOVs
provide a more immersive environment and produce
stronger self-motion perception. The objective of this
study was to investigate the relationships between FOV
andscen e content on postural stability in an immersive
environment. 10 subjects were testedu sing two different
scenes (a simple radial pattern and a "meaningful" city
scene) at six FOVs (30º, 60º, 90º, 120º, 150º, 180º) using
a within-subjects design. Subjects exhibited more postural
disturbance with increasing FOV. A surprisingly large
increase in disturbance was found for the interval
between 150º and180º using the city scene. No
statistically significant difference was found for effects of
scene content. Two groups (postural stable group and
postural unstable group) were identified during
experiment. These groups performedd ifferently in the two
scene conditions. Future research plans are described in
the Discussion.
