“…The results in this study showed that participants' average eye blink rates of 15.52 and 17.30 in low-fidelity and high-fidelity scenarios, respectively. The results are in line with a previous study that concluded that the average blinking frequency while using a VR headset is 15.1 blinks per minute [28]. Given that more realistic scenarios and stronger reflection effects were applied in the high-fidelity scenario, participants were less concentrated on the loading task and blinked more.…”

Crane operator training is an essential part of construction safety and is attracting extensive attention from researchers worldwide. Virtual reality (VR) is considered an effective tool to improve training outcomes by providing users with an immersive, risk-free experience in various environments. However, previous VR-based training platforms mainly focused on the scenario and task design; few studies attempted to investigate the impact of simulation fidelity on training efficiency. This research aims to explore the effect of simulation fidelity on training outcomes by comparing user performance in two scenarios. A typical construction site was modelled in a game engine using two rendering approaches; an eye-tracking system was adopted for data collection. The results from a subject experiment indicated the high efficiency of VR in operator safety training and demonstrated the usefulness of eye-tracking in measuring hazard detection performance. Findings showed that a higher level of simulation fidelity might not significantly improve the training efficiency, especially in hazard detection aspects.

“…Similar findings by are presented by Mohamed Elias et al (2019). Interestingly, during video game play for 20 min, blinks seem similarly impacted with HMD and PC, but lipid layer thickness increased more in VR (Marshev et al 2021).…”

This narrative review synthesizes and introduces 386 previous works about virtual reality-induced symptoms and effects by focusing on cybersickness, visual fatigue, muscle fatigue, acute stress, and mental overload. Usually, these VRISE are treated independently in the literature, although virtual reality is increasingly considered an option to replace PCs at the workplace, which encourages us to consider them all at once. We emphasize the context of office-like tasks in VR, gathering 57 articles meeting our inclusion/exclusion criteria. Cybersickness symptoms, influenced by fifty factors, could prevent workers from using VR. It is studied but requires more research to reach a theoretical consensus. VR can lead to more visual fatigue than other screen uses, influenced by fifteen factors, mainly due to vergence-accommodation conflicts. This side effect requires more testing and clarification on how it differs from cybersickness. VR can provoke muscle fatigue and musculoskeletal discomfort, influenced by fifteen factors, depending on tasks and interactions. VR could lead to acute stress due to technostress, task difficulty, time pressure, and public speaking. VR also potentially leads to mental overload, mainly due to task load, time pressure, and intrinsically due interaction and interface of the virtual environment. We propose a research agenda to tackle VR ergonomics and risks issues at the workplace.

“…They found a thicker lipid layer after using an HMD than a conventional screen and no significant difference in fatigue and discomfort, but they also found high individual variations. However, they only measured for a short period of 20 minutes, and no other measurements regarding the tear film were reported (39). In comparison, another study found more subjective dry eye symptoms after using an HMD than after smartphone usage for two hours.…”

Purpose: The use of computers spread among the population, both for work and leisure purposes. This poses an increased risk factor for dry eye disease, a multifactorial disease influencing the surface of the eye. With the recent increasing usage of head-mounted displays, it is critical to determine whether or not they have the same impact on the tear film as conventional screens. Methods:The experiment was divided into three parts, where ten subjects participated. A baseline measurement was taken on the first day, and two additional measurements were retaken after 90 minutes of usage of a head-mounted display or a conventional screen. Results:No statistically significant differences were found in the impact on the tear film, neither in blink frequency nor duration while using a head-mounted display. Humidity and temperature in the periocular environment increased in the first 30 minutes of HMD usage, then remained stable while the oxygen level decreased. In comparison, temperature and humidity were lower, with oxygen levels increasing while using a conventional screen to become stable over 90 minutes. Subjects perceive subjectively less dry eye after using an HMD. Conclusions:Although no final conclusions can be drawn from the results, there is a tendency toward HMDs having a slightly better impact on the tear film than conventional screens.
