The experiment was performed with subjects wearing a head-mounted display. While the stimuli videos were shown, strength of vection, the time in which vection was experienced and the level of motion sickness were evaluated on 5-level scale by subjects. We found that as linear velocity increases, vection induced by rotational motion decreases. Furthermore, in the presence of rotational motion, the sense of vection experienced was greater as the rotational velocity increased at low linear velocities, accompanied by a longer duration of vection and a higher level of motion sickness. In contrast, it is possible to make the level of motion sickness the same as a video without rotational motion by limiting the rotational velocity to 20°/s, and it is possible to suppress motion sickness to an extent without impairing immersion by limiting rotational velocity to within a certain range.Read More
