Abstract
Simulator sickness (SS) is a major impedimentto use of virtualenvironments(VEs). Procedures to
alleviateSS have been of limitedvalue.The 'independentvisualbackground' (IVB) may reduceSS when
people use a VE. Optimumcharacteristicsof IVBs remainto be determined.In this study,balancewas
disturbedby roll oscillationof a black andwhite radialpattern.Disturbancewas reducedby simultaneous
presentationof anIVB. Effects of locatingthe IVB in the foregroundor backgroundrelativeto the moving
radial pattern using a stereographic display were determined.Nine subjects were tested at two IVB
luminance levels and three different IVB conditions using a within-subjects design. An expected
statisticallysignificantdifference betweenthe IVBandno-IVB conditionswas observed.No effect of IVB
location was obtained. Effects of foreground / background manipulationson spatial orientation are
addressed.
