119. Virtual Reality and Depth Cues: Are Women at a Disadvantage?
DescriptionTechnological advancements have propelled the popularity and availability of virtual reality (VR) applications, with continued growth projected. As such, it is vital to ensure equitable access to this technology. Gender biases persist in VR research, with underrepresentation of women in both recruitment and design. Further, women's higher rates of simulator sickness (SS), a form of motion sickness induced by a simulation, may post a significant barrier to VR adoption. There is some evidence that gendered prioritization of the depth cues of motion parallax and shape-by-shading contribute to this disparity. Investigating these variations and their impact on SS could inform equitable environmental design changes to address SS. This research aims to investigate if and to what extent gender differences in depth cue prioritization exist in VR and its impact on SS.
