“…Operators training on fixed based simulators, despite the lack of stimulus movement, encounter SS symptoms are similar to motion sickness. In the literature [9] the term "simulator sickness" is attributed to a fixed based simulator, while in the moving platform simulator a "motion sickness" term is used. Similarly, according to the literature [23], the main difference between the simulator sickness and motion sickness is that the latter occurs in the simulators with moving platform.…”

“…The disease can also be induced by visual stimuli modeling of the vehicle movement without actually performing motion [23,28]. Many researchers believe that the main cause of the SS is discrepancy between the information provided by the operator senses of position and motion, and the knowledge about the real motion [9,20].…”

“…Cartmell investigations [26] have been carried out on the simulator with 200 degree FOV, 800 x 600 resolution, frame rate -60 Hz. Too wide field of view in the litarature [9] can also cause the SS (defined as VRS). This is confirmed by publications [11,13] which state that in case of narrower FOV the risk of the SS is smaller.…”

“…Considering factors, which promote the simulator sickness, the general statement is that "the simulator sickness is multi-symptomatic disease and strongly depends on individual characteristics of a subject" [2]. Kolasinski [9] these factors grouped within three categories: operator (user), system and the task (Table 1). Analyzing the results presented in an open literature, usually it is not possible to categorize the reasons to one of these groups, as during tests several factors were varied.…”

Recently, simulators find application not only in the aeronautics, but also in other fields of technology, like robotics, marine etc. Computer-based trainings are offered almost with every modern technology product placed in the market. In the paper the application of simulators to train pilots of mobile platforms (like aircraft, cars, sea-vessels) is considered. The simulator sickness appears due to difficulties in simulating the motion and environment "properly" in the simulator. Similar symptoms, called a virtual reality sickness may be observed within the community of computer game players. The main reason for occurrence of the simulator sickness is that external stimuli (motion and/or vision) give misleading information to a human brain. The aim of this research was to find the relation between the architecture and the technical parameters of different types of simulators and occurrence of the simulator sickness. The focus of this study is the architecture of the simulator and its technical parameters that may influence unfavorable operator reactions during training, such as moving platform, screen size, simulated models, graphics quality, etc. The paper is based on a wide literature review, and it is an introduction to the future experimental research.

“…Although the puzzles look small in the figure, they were displayed on a 2 m high by 2.5 m wide (6Ј ϫ 7.5Ј) projection screen, which the subject was facing. To reduce the chance of simulator sickness, the perspective was fixed, and did not change as the subject moved (Kolasinski, 1995). Thus, as the subject moved his or her arm, a disembodied arm and shoulder was displayed moving about the virtual environment.…”

What is often missing from many virtual worlds and training simulations is a physical sense of the confinement and constraint of the virtual environment. We present a method for providing localized cutaneous vibratory feedback to the user's right arm. We created a sleeve of tactors linked to a real-time human model; the tactors activate to apply sensation to the corresponding body area. The hypothesis is that vibrotactile feedback to body areas provides the wearer sufficient guidance to assume correct body configurations and ascertain the existence and physical realism of access paths. We present the results of human subject experiments that study both explicit and implicit training of skills using vibrotactile arrays. Implicitly, collision awareness is achieved by activating the appropriate tactor when a body part collides with the scene; thus, the user will attempt to correct his or her body configuration. Explicitly, we use the tactors to guide the body into the proper configuration. The results of human subject experiments clearly show that the use of full arm vibrotactile feedback improves performance over purely visual feedback for navigating the virtual environment, as well as allowing easy acquisition of new skills. These results validate the empirical performance of this concept.
