“…Flashbacks, which include illusory sensations of climbing and turning, sensations of negative g, and perceived inversions of the visual field, are particularly problematic because of their sudden unexpected onset and risk to safety. (p. 62) It is important to point out that while the symptomotology of motion sickness and simulator sickness overlap, the pathognomonic signs of the former (i.e., vomiting and retching) are infrequent in the latter (Kennedy, Lane, Lilienthal, Berbaum, & Hettinger, 1992). Yet, as noted by Kennedy and his colleagues, the potential for negative aftereffects is one of the most serious problems associated with simulator sickness.…”

“…Yet, as noted by Kennedy and his colleagues, the potential for negative aftereffects is one of the most serious problems associated with simulator sickness. Aftereffects associated with flight simulation have included disruptions of postural control (Kennedy, Fowlkes, & Lilienthal, 1993;Kennedy & Stanney, 1996), the illusions of flying and rotating, and the perceived inversion of the visual field (Kennedy et al, 1992).…”

Advances in helmet-mounted displays (HMDs) have permitted the design of "see-through" displays in which virtual imagery may be superimposed upon real visual environments. Such displays have numerous potential applications; however, their promise to improve human perception and performance in complex task environments is threatened by numerous technological challenges. Moreover, users of HMDs may be vulnerable to symptoms associated with simulator sickness. The primary objective of this investigation was to assess subjective ratings of simulator sickness as a function of time delay, time on task, and task complexity. Participants attempted to center a reticle over a moving circular target using a see-through HMD while concurrently performing a visual monitoring task displayed on a computer monitor. Results indicated that simulator sickness ratings varied directly with time on task, while performance efficiency and ratings of perceived mental workload were not mediated by this factor. Furthermore, the time delay manipulation that affected performance efficiency and operator workload did not generally influence SSQ ratings. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for practical implementation of see-through HMDs in multi-task environments.

“…Los efectos secundarios de la RV han sido observados y estudiados durante varios años en el campo de la simulación de vuelos (Kennedy et al, 1992). Por lo tanto, los cibermareos a menudo son comparados con los malestares relacionados con viajar en transportes (McCaulay y Sharkey, 1992); aunque su etiología es signifi cativamente diferente (Cobb, Nichols, Ramsey, y Wilson, 1999;Lawson et al, 2002).…”

Resumen: Pocos estudios se han centrado en los efectos secundarios negativos generados por la inmersión con realidad virtual (RV) en poblaciones clínicas que padecen ansiedad. Estos efectos son conocidos como "cibermareos" o "cybersickness". A partir de una revisión bibliográfica que combinó las palabras clave cybersickness y anxiety, se identificaron seis estudios que abordan estos tópicos. Estos estudios fueron revisados en el presente trabajo a fin de: (1) establecer una panorá-mica general de la prevalencia de los cibermareos en población clínica; (2) analizar la validez del Simulator Sickness Questionnaire, utilizado en muestras clínicas que padecen ansiedad y; (3) comprender mejor la superposición de los cibermareos y los síntomas inducidos por la ansiedad. Las conclusiones del presente trabajo, proporcionan reflexiones interesantes que pueden ser de utilidad para los profesionales de la salud que utilizan la RV como herramienta de tratamiento en personas que padecen ansiedad.Palabras clave: Cibermareos; realidad virtual; ansiedad. The negative side effects of virtual reality immersion in clinical populations with anxietyAbstract: Few studies have focused on the negative side effects caused by the immersion in virtual reality (VR) in clinical populations with anxiety. These effects are known as "cybersickness". Through a literature review that combined the keywords cybersickness and anxiety, six studies addressing these topics were identified. These studies were reviewed in this paper in order to: (1) establish an overview of the prevalence of cybersickness in clinical population; (2) analyze the validity of the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire, using clinical samples with anxiety; (3) better understand the overlap of cybersickness and anxiety induced symptoms. The findings of this study provide interesting insights that may be useful for health professionals who use VR as a treatment tool for people with anxiety.Keywords: Cybersickness; virtual reality; anxiety.

“…The questionnaire lists 4-point (0 to 3) bipolar rating scales consisting of verbal descriptors for the 16 symptoms such as general discomfort, eye strain, dizziness, and nausea. Based on data from a factor analysis of simulator sickness experiences, a procedure has been developed (Kennedy, Lane, Lilienthal, Berbaum, & Hettinger, 1992) for reducing the scores to subscales for the symptomatic components of oculomotor stress (eye strain), nausea, and disorientation, and in turn, a measure of total severity.…”

“…Although the task-allocated attention is rated on a 0-to-7 scale, each of the motion sickness dimensions is rated on a 0-to-3 scale. Although the model workload is summed over the three processors for a 0-to-21 scale, the total severity is a weighted sum of the 16 motion sickness dimensions resulting in a 0-to-120.54 scale (Kennedy, Lane, Lilienthal, Berbaum, & Hettinger, 1992). However, the severity distribution for the Case II treatments is heavily skewed toward lower values (skewness = 1.510, N = 16, standard error = 0.564), and weighting the scale by the ratio of the median (14.480) to the mean (22.199) results in a 0-to-78.62 scale.…”

Modeling Workload for Target Detection from a Moving Vehicle With a Head-Mounted Display and Sound Localization

The effect of indirect vision systems on target detection and recognition is of interest to designers of future combat vehicles. In this report, a model of target detection and mental workload is described for an indirect vision system with a micro-state task time line analysis of attention workload. The model is based on the results of a field study in which participants detected and identified pop-up targets on an outdoor range from a stationary and a moving vehicle while using a head-mounted display (HMD), with and without sound localization and with direct viewing as a control. A head-slaved camera mounted on top of the vehicle provided the image to the HMD. As a result of the study, a target detection and identification model is derived for the different treatments from the data via regression analysis. The effect of indirect vision on mental workload is determined from the subjective ratings of perceived task loading that were reported in the field study. Along with the perceived workload, the study participants rated the mental measures of task-allocated attention, situational awareness, and motion sickness. Because of collinearity, the perceived workload is regressed on the factorial components of a cognitive loading space derived from a factorial analysis of the mental measures. Following rotation to a "skills-rules-knowledge" cognitive processing space derived from the clustering of the measures, the perceived workload is shown to be a function of the skill-and rule-based components. On this basis, a micro-state time line model is proposed for the task information processing. In addition to the attention allocated to the targeting task, the model includes attention to cognitive maps for target orienting by the audio cues and the monitoring of the internal somatic state for motion sickness. Further, the model includes switching between tasks (detection to identification) and the initial orienting and subsequent suppression responses to audio cues and body movements as intrusive stimuli. The task-loading measures generated by the model are compared to the reported values with significant results. Finally, the model results are used to construct information flow networks for task analysis workload simulation studies. The model is intended for future work in predicting fatigue and performance errors that are induced by mental workload during indirect vision targeting.
