“…The participant in the virtual reality group used the HTC Vive Pro HMD with a 110-degree field of view to watch the environment from a 360-degree point of view. A wide range of FoV generates a great sense of presence but contributes to higher cybersickness (Porcino et al, 2020). Conversely, reducing the FoV can reduce VR sickness (Fernandes and Feiner, 2016).…”

Stress is a common problem associated with poor physical and psychological health. Exposure to the natural environment is one method for reducing stress. The real and simulated natural environments have a restorative effect on stress reduction. In contrast to the real environment, simulated natural environments, such as virtual reality and 2D video, provide safer and more controllable exposure. Several studies on the restorative effects of the natural environment in virtual reality and 2D video have been conducted. However, the difference between the two in reducing stress must be clarified. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the simulated natural environments in virtual reality and 2D video and their differences in reducing stress. This study hypothesizes that both simulated natural environments in virtual reality and 2D video can reduce stress, but there is a difference between them in reducing stress. Fifty-three subjects were divided into two experimental groups: 2D video (n = 28) and virtual reality (n = 25). The results indicated that simulated natural environments in virtual reality and 2D video reduced stress. However, there was no difference between the two groups regarding stress reduction.

“…Additionally, we provide a re lationship analysis between leading discomfort causes and strategies to minimize CS in virtual environments. This work is an extended and revised version of a previous published re view (Porcino et al, 2020b). in the literature (Lee et al, 2017; Hillenius, 2018.…”

Virtual reality (VR) and head-mounted displays are continually gaining popularity in various fields such as education, military, entertainment, and health. Although such technologies provide a high sense of immersion, they can also trigger symptoms of discomfort. This condition is called cybersickness (CS) and is quite popular in recent virtual reality research. In this work we first present a review of the literature on theories of discomfort manifestations usually attributed to virtual reality environments. Following, we reviewed existing strategies aimed at minimizing CS problems and discussed how the CS measurement has been conducted based on subjective, biosignal (or objective), and users profile data. We also describe and discuss related works that are aiming to mitigate cybersickness problems using deep and symbolic machine learning approaches. Although some works used methods to make deep learning explainable, they are not strongly affirmed by literature. For this reason in this work we argue that symbolic classifiers can be a good way to identify CS causes, once they possibilities human-readability which is crucial for analyze the machine learning decision paths. In summary, from a total of 157 observed studies, 24 were excluded. Moreover, we believe that this work facilitates researchers to identify the leading causes for most discomfort situations in virtual reality environments, associate the most recommended strategies to minimize such discomfort, and explore different ways to conduct experiments involving machine learning to overcome cybersickness.

“…Several works in the literature address the CS phenomenon and mitigation strategies for immersive VR applications using HMDs [Mousavi et al 2013, Davis et al 2014, Rebenitsch and Owen 2016, Porcino et al 2020b]. While most previous works [Jin et al 2018, Kim et al 2019, Jeong et al 2019] are mainly focused on detecting and predicting CS events, this work estimates and is amenable to rank the attributes that contribute the most to triggering cybersickness, enabling a selection of the most adequate strategy to mitigate CS.…”

Virtual reality (VR) and head-mounted displays are constantly gaining popularity in various fields such as education, military, entertainment, and health. Although such technologies provide a high sense of immersion, they can also trigger symptoms of discomfort. This condition is called cybersickness (CS) and is quite popular in recent VR publications. This work proposes a novel experimental analysis using symbolic machine learning to rank potential causes of CS in VR games. We estimate CS causes and rank them according to their impact on the classical machine learning classification task. Experiments are performed using two VR games and 6 experimental protocols along with 37 valid samples from a total of 88 volunteers.
