The short paper enti­tled “Self-Motion Illusions (Vection) in VR – Are They Good For Anything?” that we pre­sented ear­lier this year at the IEEE VR con­fer­ence was not only accepted (with a 9.5% accep­tance rate for short papers) but also received an hon­or­able men­tion to be amongst the best  short papers! We are honored!

Below is a video of the presentation:

In essence, this is prob­a­bly the first study to really show that self-motion illu­sions (“vec­tion”) are not only cool, but can actu­ally enhance user’s behav­ior in VR by facil­i­tat­ing per­spec­tive switches that are oth­er­wise difficult.
