Abstract
Simulator sickness (SS) / virtual environment (VE) sickness
is expected to become increasingly troublesome as VE
technology evolves [20]. Procedures to alleviate SS / VE
sickness have been of limited value [12]. This paper
investigated a possible procedure to reduce SS and VE
sickness. Postural disturbance was evoked by visual scene
motion at different frequencies. Differences in disturbance
were examined as a function of simultaneous exposure to an
"independent visual background" (IVB). Eight subjects
were tested at two scene motion frequencies and three
different IVB conditions using a within-subjects design. An
expected statistically significant interaction between IVB
condition and frequency was observed. For low frequency
scene movements, subjects exhibited less balance
disturbance when the IVB was presented. We suggest that
an IVB may alleviate disturbance when conflicting visual
and inertial cues are likely to result in simulator or VE
sickness.
