Abstract
Some implementations offset or reduce user fatigue and/or discomfort by making relatively small (e.g., potentially imperceptible) changes to relative positions of virtual objects (e.g., virtual screens) or entire scenes to cause or encourage the user to make small adjustments, e.g., changing their posture. By periodically making small changes over long periods of time, the changes may be imperceptible, inspire unconscious user posture changes or movements, and/or improve the user experience without burdening or distracting the user from their desired activity, e.g., watching a movie, working on a virtual UI interface, etc.
