“…Furthermore, the VR applications did not induce higher values of nausea (SSQ and FMS) in comparison to the tablet applications. These results seemed somewhat surprising, but other studies investigating VR applications during driving report similar results (Hock et al [28]; Lewis [40]; McGill et al [45]; Soyka et al [64]; Wienrich et al, [4]). Even though higher values of simulator sickness were re-ported previously, a dramatic amount of nausea was not found.…”

“…As travel context, an autonomous driving scenario was mimicked by the use of a functional driving simulator. A few studies already investigated the impact of VR entertainment in transport systems, but those only showed very short VR sequences and therefore missed the intended context of use (long distance travel) (e. g., Hock et al [28]; Lewis [40]; McGill et al [45]; Soyka et al [64]; Wienrich et al [4]). So far, neither the beneficial nor the detrimental impact on the experience of passengers was addressed in previous research.…”

“…Hence, the impact of VR-HMD applications on passenger experience during a longer journey remained unclear. Another study in the same project examined the influence of physical in-flight motion (three ten-second intervals of turbulence) on motion sickness and presence while passengers were wearing a HMD in a motion simulator [64]. The authors created two virtual environments (a virtual airplane, and a magic carpet ride) and varied the extent to which the physical motion matched the motion in the virtual world.…”

This paper investigated the influence of VR-entertainment systems on passenger and entertainment experience in vehicles with smooth movements. To simulate an autonomous driving scenario, a tablet and a mobile VR-HMD were evaluated in a dynamic driving simulator. Passenger, user and entertainment experience were measured through questionnaires based on comfort/discomfort, application perception, presence, and simulator sickness. In two experiments, two film sequences with varying formats (2D versus 3D) were presented. In Experiment 1, the established entertainment system (tablet + 2D) was tested against a possible future one (HMD + 3D). The results indicated a significantly more favorable experience for the VR-HMD application in the dimensions of user experience (UX) and presence, as well as low simulator sickness values. In Experiment 2, the film format was held constant (2D), and only the device (tablet versus HMD) was varied. There was a significant difference in all constructs, which points to a positive reception of the HMD. Additional analyses of the HMD device data for both experiments showed that the device and not the film format contributed to the favorable experience with the HMD. Additionally, the framework to evaluate the new application context of VR as an entertainment system in autonomous vehicles was discussed.

“…There are a multitude of contextual factors that could contribute to varying attitudes towards usage here, from the nature of the physical environment and proximity/relationship to other passengers, the duration of travel, perceived personal safety within the mode of transport, etc. And there will invariably be cultural effects, with it repeatedly being noted that different cultures often have varying different attitudes and expectations when it comes to socializing with other passengers in-transit (Baseel 2014;Studarus 2018;Smith 2016). Will the person you are seated next to on your long-haul flight resent your immediate escape into the solitude and isolation of an immersive VR experience?…”

This paper examines key challenges in supporting passenger use of augmented and virtual reality headsets in transit. These headsets will allow passengers to break free from the restraints of physical displays placed in constrained environments such as cars, trains and planes. Moreover, they have the potential to allow passengers to make better use of their time by making travel more productive and enjoyable, supporting both privacy and immersion. However, there are significant barriers to headset usage by passengers in transit contexts. These barriers range from impediments that would entirely prevent safe usage and function (e.g. motion sickness) to those that might impair their adoption (e.g. social acceptability). We identify the key challenges that need to be overcome and discuss the necessary resolutions and research required to facilitate adoption and realize the potential advantages of using mixed reality headsets in transit.

“…Soyka et al [73] as part of the VR-Hyperspace project examined the effect of turbulent motions on VR HMD users in a flight simulator, using an Oculus Rift DK 1 to prototype VR use as an aeroplane passenger as part of an examination of future entertainment options in-flight. They evaluated turbulence/oscillations through three turbulent episodes of 10 seconds, in two virtual motion environments: a virtual aeroplane and a magic carpet ride over tropical islands.…”

How Visual Motion Cues Can Influence Sickness For In-Car VR

This paper explores the use of VR Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) in-car and in-motion for the first time. Immersive HMDs are becoming everyday consumer items and, as they offer new possibilities for entertainment and productivity, people will want to use them during travel in, for example, autonomous cars. However, their use is confounded by motion sickness caused in-part by the restricted visual perception of motion conflicting with physically perceived vehicle motion (accelerations/rotations detected by the vestibular system). Whilst VR HMDs restrict visual perception of motion, they could also render it virtually, potentially alleviating sensory conflict. To study this problem, we conducted the first on-road and in motion study to systematically investigate the effects of various visual presentations of the real-world motion of a car on the sickness and immersion of VR HMD wearing passengers. We established new baselines for VR in-car motion sickness, and found that there is no one best presentation with respect to balancing sickness and immersion. Instead, user preferences suggest different solutions are required for differently susceptible users to provide usable VR in-car. This work provides formative insights for VR designers and an entry point for further research into enabling use of VR HMDs, and the rich experiences they offer, when travelling.
