“…Framerate refers to the rate at which the frame is changed in a video (which consists of a collection of still pictures), while latency or lag is the delay between the user input and the displayed output by the VR device (Lee et al 2020 ). A low framerate can cause flickering, which can lead to eye fatigue and headaches, whereas a large latency can increase visual-inertial sensory conflicts, leading to more intense levels of cybersickness (Lee et al 2020 ; Kim et al 2021 ; Palmisano et al 2017 ). On the other hand, vection is the ability of HMDs to generate illusions of self-motion by stimulating either the visual or non-visual senses (Kim et al 2021 ).…”

Previous studies have found a positive relationship between vection and cybersickness, although the mechanisms for this relationship appear to be complex, with negative relationships emerging in some cases (Palmisano et al 2017 ).…”

Focusing on cybersickness: pervasiveness, latent trajectories, susceptibility, and effects on the virtual reality experience

et al. 2022

Although virtual reality (VR) usage has become widespread in the last decade, its adoption has been hampered by experiences of user discomfort known as cybersickness. The present study, in line with the “2020 cybersickness R&D agenda”, sought to provide a broad examination of the cybersickness phenomenon, assessing its pervasiveness, latent trajectories, impacts on the VR experience, and predictor variables. The study was composed of 92 participants living in the Dominican Republic with ages ranging from 18 to 52 years ( M = 26.22), who experienced a 10-min VR immersion in two environments designed for psychotherapy. The results indicated that cybersickness was pervasive, with 65.2% of the participants experiencing it, and 23.9% severely. Additionally, the latent trajectories of cybersickness were positive and curvilinear, with large heterogeneity across individuals. Cybersickness also had a substantive negative impact on the user experience and the intentions to adopt the VR technology. Finally, motion sickness susceptibility, cognitive stress, and recent headaches uniquely predicted greater severity of cybersickness, while age was negatively related. These combined results highlight the critical role that cybersickness plays on the VR experience and underscore the importance of finding solutions to the problems, such as technological advancements or special usage protocols for the more susceptible individuals.

“…The poor latency in a VR system can lead to a time difference between expected and actual view, which can cause VR sickness [37]. The Oculus Rift CV1 HMD device (the device used in this study) has a very low baseline display delay of about 5.3 ms [38] and its motion to photon latency at the start (Sudden) and middle (Continuous) of the movement was 20.6 ms and 1.5 ms, respectively [39]. The results of comparing four conditions of time delay (67 ms, 167 ms, 267 ms and 367 ms) indicated that there was an increase in the severity of VR sickness with increasing time delay [40].…”

“…The results of comparing four conditions of time delay (67 ms, 167 ms, 267 ms and 367 ms) indicated that there was an increase in the severity of VR sickness with increasing time delay [40]. In addition, the increase in head-to-display delay up to 212 ms decreased the presence and vection in the Oculus Rift CV1 Headset [38]. Inconsistent findings showed no difference found in the severity of VR sickness between three conditions of time delay, including 48 ms, 125 ms and 250 ms [41].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two views on motion sickness caused by low-frequency roll motion in the laboratory. Fifteen healthy male subjects participated in the study and were exposed to 30 min of 0.25 Hz roll oscillation at an angle of rotation (±5°). Subjects sat on a rigid seat with one of two visual scenes each session: (i) viewing 360° videos through virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) device and (ii) reading articles on a monitor in a closed cabin. Ratings of motion sickness were obtained at 1 min intervals. The mean illness ratings of subjects for all visual conditions increased over the 30 min exposure to motion. There was significantly less sickness in the HMD condition than in the monitor condition. The findings suggest a beneficial effect of the HMD view on the severity of sickness. However, the HMD view had no effect on the sickness experienced by those vulnerable to sickness caused by exposure to motion or use of VR. It was concluded that the visual activity had a significant influence on motion sickness induced by 0.25 Hz roll oscillation with an angle of rotation (±5°), and the applications of VR could be implemented to further reduce motion sickness.

“…When VIMS is experienced in VR, it is often referred to as Cybersickness (CS; Keshavarz et al 2015;Laessoe et al, 2023). Vection, however, appears to be a desirable sensation when using virtual reality (VR) applications as positive correlations have been found between vection and presence (e.g., Riecke et al, 2005a;Kim et al, 2022;. In return, the fidelity of VR applications could be enhanced through vection research (Hettinger et al, 2014).…”

The illusory experience of self-motion known as vection, is a multisensory phenomenon relevant to self-motion processes. While some studies have shown that neck muscle vibrations can improve self-motion parameter estimation, the influence on vection remains unknown. Further, few studies measured cybersickness (CS), presence, and vection concurrently and have shown conflicting results. Additionally, little evidence exists on the influence of prior gaming experience on vection. It was hypothesized that 1) neck vibrations would enhance vection and presence, 2) CS to negatively impact the relationship between presence and vection, and 3) avid gamers to experience more vection. Thirty-two participants were visually and audibly immersed in a virtual reality flight simulator and occasional neck muscle vibrations were presented. Vection onset and duration were reported through button presses. Turning angle estimations and ratings of vection quality, presence, and CS were obtained after completion of the flights. Results showed no influence of vibrations on turning angle estimation errors, but a medium negative effect of vibrations on vection quality was found. Presence and vection quality were positively related, and CS did not appear to affect this relationship. Participants with more gaming experience appeared to experience less vection. It is concluded that 1) adding a vibrational cue during an ongoing experimental trial could degrade participants’ vection and presence, 2) CS at low levels of discomfort does not appear to affect the relationship between presence and vection, and 3) more research is needed on the influence of gamer type on the genesis of vection.
