ABSTRACT
When creating content for virtual reality, filmmakers find that they need to re-evaluate the tools they have traditionally used to tell their stories, and explore the new possibilities that this particular medium has to offer. To determine how storytelling- and filmmaking tools function in VR, the concept of presence is currently being re-evaluated for its possibilities to be used as a measurement of the relative effectiveness of these tools. The research project Project Orpheus is presented as a case study into trans-medial storytelling, exploring how the impact of a traditional television show may be reinforced by an immersive VR experience. The movie was subsequently used to conduct a small qualitative study into the use of 3D sound to guide the viewers attention in VR.

A Pilot Study Examining the Unexpected Vection Hypothesis of Cybersickness.
VRST '21: Proceedings of the 27th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyThe relationship between vection (illusory self-motion) and cybersickness is complex. This pilot study examined whether only unexpected vection provokes sickness during head-mounted display (HMD) based virtual reality (VR). 20 participants ran through ...
