Abstract
The basic question this research addressed was, how does simulator sickness vary
with simulated motion frequency? Participants were 11 women and 19 men, 20 to
63 years of age. A visual self-motion frequency response curve was determined
using a Chattecx posture platform with a VR4 head-mounted display (HMD) or
a back-projected dome. That curve and one for vestibular self-motion specify a
frequency range in which vestibular and visual motion stimuli could produce conflicting
self-motion cues. Using a rotating chair and the HMD, a third experiment
supported (p < .01) the hypothesis that conflicting cues at the frequency of maximum
"crossover" between the curves (about 0.06 Hz) would be more likely to
evoke simulator sickness than would conflicting cues at a higher frequency.
Actual or potential applications of this work include a preliminary design guidance
curve that indicates the frequency range of simulated motion that is likely to evoke
simulator or virtual reality sickness; for simulators intended to operate in this frequency
range, appropriate simulator sickness interventions should be considered
during the design process.
