Book excerpt: The overall objective of this thesis is to compare different head-mounted displays (HMDs) and their effects on usability, performance, and perception in different virtual reality (VR) environments. In an attempt to better understand the effects of field of view (FOV) and display resolution, the tradeoffs between them, and which is the dominant factor for VR experiences, we conducted two studies comparing the Oculus Rift Development Kit 1 (DK1), a wide-FOV low-resolution HMD, and the Sensics zSight, a narrow-FOV high-resolution HMD. Based on the results of our two experiments, we conclude that a wider FOV appears to be more important for visual scanning, physical locomotion, and hand-based manipulation tasks than a higher display resolution. Additionally, a wide FOV leads to a greater sense of presence. However, we found that it induces more simulator sickness when used with a virtual travel technique, such as Seven League Boots.
