The vestibulo-ocular reflex is a reflex that keeps your eyes pointed to the same location in space when your head moves. It is an important factor in engineering near-eye displays.
The vestibular system signals how fast the head is rotating, and the oculomotor system responds by rotating the eyes in the opposite direction.[1]
VOR works in total darkness.[2]
