Cybersickness occurs when symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and discomfort are caused by a mismatch between visual motion in a headset and the user/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/u2019s physical motion. Associate Professor of Computer Science Gerd Bruder, who is an affiliate researcher in the Institute of Simulation and Training, is leading the research study in collaboration with other 166su researchers and external partners./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/n
/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/u201cUnderstanding who is susceptible to cybersickness is critical to improving VR accessibility, making VR more comfortable for all users and enabling broader adoption across research, education and industry,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/u201d Bruder says./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/n
Early data collection highlights the powerful capabilities of the VERA platform to accelerate VR research at an unprecedented scale./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/n
In just 15 cumulative days, VERA had more than 250 participants complete the full study protocol. In comparison, the original in-lab study collected data from just 30 participants and in traditional VR research settings, studies with hundreds of participants often require several months to complete./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/n
For the study, each participant experiences a controlled VR rollercoaster ride on their own headset and provides sickness ratings at periodic intervals, a pre- and post- exposure questionnaire, an in-VR visual acuity assessment, and continuous head-tracking data. Each session is completed in approximately 30 minutes at home./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/153896/n
