A method, system, computer readable media and cloud systems are provided for adjusting image data presented in a head mounted display (HMD). One method includes executing a virtual reality (VR) session for an HMD user. The VR session is configured to present image data to a display of the HMD. The image data is for a VR environment that includes a VR user controlled by the HMD user. The method further includes adjusting the image data presented on the display of the HMD with the cadence profile when the VR user is moved in the VR environment by the HMD user. The adjusting causes a movement of a camera view for the image data that is for the VR environment as presented on the display of the HMD. In some examples, the cadence profile substantially replicates a rhythmic movement of a person while moving in a real world environment.
