“…Researches indicate that multiple factors are held responsible for inducing motion sickness in VR systems. Recent studies [7], [16], [22]- [28] have exposed multiple factors associated with motion sickness induced by VR systems. These factors include but are not limited to: gender differences, virtual environment genre, VR experiences, graphical properties, virtual environment illuminance and motion sickness experiences.…”

Due to rapid growth in Virtual Reality (VR) technology, the industry of VR is expected to grow around $26.89 billion by 2022. However, with its extensive growth and immersive inclusion in human life, health-related issues are reported including, but not limited to nauseated feeling, vomiting, dizziness and cold sweats. These issues introduce a well-known side effect termed as motion sickness in VR users. Consequently, motion sickness limits the VR community in the full adaptation of this immersive technology. Since there is no lack of literature investigating motion sickness caused by VR, yet researches on the effect of VR on human's physiology is still in its infancy. This study presents novel findings, by comparing different factors such as gender, motion sickness experience, 3D games experience and VR experience. Furthermore, it reports the impact of concerning factors in a within-subjects design (46 participants participated in an experiment) under different virtual environment genres. The key findings of this article report that there is a significant difference in the amount of motion sickness when shifting from pleasant to the horror genre of the environment and having a strong dependence on gender. Moreover, the type of virtual environment is an essential factor that has a notable effect on the user's blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate. However, past experiences with motion sickness and 3D games show no significant impact on the user's level of motion sickness.

“…This method, compared to traditional field testing, offers many advantages, such as safety, simplicity, cost efficiency, and variability regarding driving conditions [2]. However, one of its pitfalls is simulator sickness (SS), a condition including a variety of unpleasant symptoms that influences quality of experience, increases rate of drop-outs, and limits the effectiveness and duration of the training [3,4]. It can be described by the following physical sensations: headache, sweating, dry mouth, drowsiness, disorientation, vertigo, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, etc.…”

In the era of technological advances and innovations in transportation technologies, application of driving simulators for the investigation and assessment of the driving process provides a safe and suitable testing environment. Although driving simulators are crucial for further improvements in transportation, it is important to resolve one of their main disadvantages–simulator sickness. Therefore, suitable methods for the assessment of simulator sickness are required. The main aim of this paper was to present a non-invasive method for assessing simulator sickness by recording gastric myoelectrical activity–electrogastrography. Open-source hardware for electrogastrography together with recordings obtained in 13 healthy volunteers is presented, and the main aspects of signal processing for artifact cancellation and feature extraction were discussed. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that slow-wave electrical gastric activity can be recorded during driving simulation by following adequate recommendations and that proposed features could be beneficial in describing non-ordinary electrogastrography signals.
