The Peripheral Display for Augmented Reality of Self-motion

It is known that peripheral vision strongly contributes to the sense of self-motion, and that users of visual displays with a narrow field of view often find it hard to experience such sensations fully. In this research, we propose a peripheral display that augments the feeling of self-motion. This consists of simple displays that stimulate the user´s peripheral area of vision. By changing the stimulus on the peripheral display, the system should be able to increase or reduce the user´s sense of self-motion. In this report, we describe a prototype of the display system and the result of its evaluation.
