screenshot from Spotify of the lyrics from the song Solo (Reprise) rapped by Andre 3000 on Frank Ocean's album Blonde. the lyrics read "I'm so naive I was under the impression that everyone wrote their own verses / it's coming back different and yeah that shit hurts me / I'm humming and whistling to those not deserving / I'm stumbled and lived every word was I working just way too hard?"
Box plot depicting the subjective questionnaire results for the Attractiveness sub-scale of the User Experience Questionnaire.
Scatterplot displaying the positive relationship between average angular Memory Task Error and Total Head Rotation for the Nature transitions. The blue line shows the estimated effects of the Head Rotation predictor for the Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) fitted to our data, with the shaded region representing the 95% confidence interval. The right axis provides a qualitative indication of the inverse relationship between the average angular Memory Task Error and spatial cognitive residue.
Box plot showing the average Memory Task Error (angular) for each experimental condition. Lower angular error values on the experimental spatial memory pointing task correspond to higher spatial cognitive residue as indicated by the qualitative scale on the right. As indicated by the horizontal whiskers, the 60s/Blank and the 60s/Nature transitions had significantly greater memory task error compared to the Baseline transition (instantaneous cut).
Screenshot from the nature scene transition, which featured a well-lit forest with trees roughly uniformly distributed around the user.
Annotated photo showing a participant in the experiment wearing the VR headset and holding the controller during the task. The experimenter was in the room with the participant and could see what the participant saw in VR. The inset shows the virtual environment from the participant’s view.
