Static Rest Frame to Improve Postural Stability in Virtual and Augmented Reality
Frontiers in Virtual Reality, 2021 Many users have shown increased postural instability while using Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) as HMDs block their real-world vision. People with balance impairments are especially more affected by this as they depend more on their visual cues to maintain
