Abstract

The present study aims to evaluate three commercial VR display devices on the market via a 3D Fitts' task. In addition, a Simulation Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) was used to assess simulator sickness of participants. Ten participants performed repetitive pointing tasks over different conditions of varying display devices, movement directions and indices of difficulty. Based on the results, it seems that the 3D TV technology may not provide enough perceptual depth to enhance movement performance in a 3D VE. The projection display obtained the best performance and preference among the three display devices. The HMD gave the worst result in both the experimental task and the SSQ assessment due to the accompanied discomfort and fatigue.
