Traditional forklift training methods are limited by their time-consuming nature and high costs. Virtual reality (VR) simulators have emerged as a cost-effective and safe alternative for forklift driving training. However, previous research revealed a substantial challenge associated with VR experiences, specifically concerning motion sickness during forklift training. Motion sickness poses a significant challenge to the effectiveness and user experience in VR forklift simulations. The primary objective of this research is to examine the influence of sex and age on motion sickness susceptibility within a virtual reality forklift simulation. Twenty individuals (nine females, eleven males) participated in the study and completed several driving tasks in a VR forklift simulator. Survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier) and Cox Proportional Hazards models examined sex and age differences in VR sickness. Age was the only significant predictor. The effects of age on motion sickness susceptibility highlight the need for tailored approaches in VR development and training.

VR technology presents exciting prospects for immersive forklift training environments. VR facilitates hands-on learning without the risks of real world errors. Real-time multimodal feedback (such as visual and haptic) is an effective way to enhance learning outcomes and skill acquisition. However, the efficacy and usability of real-time multimodal feedback provided for VR-based forklift driving needs to be investigated, as its impact on training outcomes remains unexplored. We aim to understand how various feedback modalities influence task performance, perceived workload, and user preferences. Fifteen (3 female, 12 male) individuals participated and completed VR-based forklift driving tasks with four feedback conditions (No feedback, visual, haptic, combined visual and haptic). A significant main effect of Feedback was found for completion time. Mental demand and frustration were affected by the Sex and Feedback interaction. These differences in the perception of feedback modalities underscore the importance of considering diverse user demographics when designing feedback systems.
