Additional Information
Created by Tomáš "Frooxius" Mariančík, the developer of Sightline: The Chair and World of Comenius, Holosphere is a VR locomotion method that does not induce nausea. In Holopshere, whenever you move or rotate, a geodesic sphere appears around your entire view point and blurs everything else in the environment. The geodesic sphere disappears when you stop moving or rotating. This action gives the user a fixed view point and the user's brain a consistent frame of reference. It relaxes the disconnect between the sensations of movement perceived by the brain and the lack of it felt by the body.[1]
