Two views seem to exist on the relationship between immersion in a VR environment and subjective feeling of motion sickness. One predicts that the immersion induces both postural instability and motion sickness. Another view is that pre-immersion postural instability predispose us to motion sickness. However, these views are not successfully supported by empirical researches. Longer immersions in a VR environment may induce higher levels of postural instability and symptoms of motion sickness. Effects of long-hours immersion in a virtual environment on postural stability were examined using a force platform measurement and conducting a self-reported questionnaire on motion sickness.Read More
