Simulator Sickness.pdf

Motion sickness, simulator sickness, and automated vehicles are related issues, with 50% of driving simulator trainings aborted due to sickness and 2/3 of passengers in automated vehicles experiencing sickness. The Gartner hype cycle is mentioned, with 3D films as an example of repeated hype cycles. Virtual 3D is not the same as real 3D, with 5-20% of people unable to see 3D due to stereoblindness, amblyopia, or strabismus. The failure of 3D film hypes is attributed to the lack of real 3D experience.

The presentation discusses the cycle of repeated hype cycles, the failure of 3D films, and the relationship between motion sickness, simulator sickness, and automated vehicles. It also explores the facts about driving simulators, automated vehicles, and the importance of understanding motion sickness to address these issues.

Motion sickness is attributed to the conflict between what the eyes see and what the organs of balance feel, with key factors including motion, history, age, gender, mood, food, psychology, and medication. The presentation also discusses the history of motion sickness, its relationship to organs of balance, and the framework for understanding motion sickness.

Visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) is also discussed, with the key factor being the organs of balance and the modulation of motion sickness by vision. The presentation concludes by highlighting the importance of understanding motion sickness to address the issues related to simulator sickness and automated vehicles.
