b. Field of Vision
c. Field of Virtual Reality
d. Field of Visual Images

ANSWER: Field of View
 
Scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have developed a method of combating motion sickness-like symptoms experienced by some people when they use popular virtual reality headsets.
  • Their approach dynamically, yet subtly, changes the user's field of view (FOV) in response to visually perceived motion, as the user virtually traverses an environment while remaining physically stationary.
  • The method can be applied to consumer head-worn virtual reality (VR) displays, such as the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard.
  • The study showed that by strategically and automatically manipulating FOV, the degree of VR sickness experienced by participants can be significantly reduced.
