“…However, a large-scale meta-analysis reported no significant gender difference in VRS [19]. Former VR experience was believed to increase the likelihood of VRS [26]. Surprisingly, our study did not find any significant effect of previous VR experience on VRS.…”

Introduction Virtual reality-based simulation is an educational tool that has been proven to increase participants’ self-perceived, confidence, and skill. However, the use of VR is associated with virtual reality sickness (VRS). The purpose of this study is to determine related factors of VRS in an emergency setting simulation-based training, hence providing information and mitigation plan to enhance and optimize learning outcomes. Method We developed multiplayer VR simulation in Traumatic Brain Injury and Local Anaesthetic Systemic Toxicity emergency. Seventy-five medical doctors voluntarily partake in the VR simulation. Throughout the simulation and its aftermath, participants were carefully monitored and observed. Additionally, they were questioned regarding their experience of VRS using the Simulation Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) instrument. Result The incidence of virtual reality sickness was found to be 57.3% and is significantly associated with male gender, myopia, astigmatism, and the use of stationary VR mode (p<0.05). The mean SSQ score for nausea, oculomotor, disorientation, and total score component is 5.97 (standard deviation (SD): 6.4), 6.26 (SD 6.5), 125.6 (SD 132), and 9.03 (SD 9.5), respectively. There were 16% of participant experiencing severe symptoms of VRS. Conclusion Male gender, myopia, astigmatism, and the use of stationary VR mode were related with incidence of virtual reality sickness. VR activities in either room-scale or walking mode and appropriate correction of any refractive disorders are pivotal to prevent VRS in VR simulation training.

“…Their findings set forth that women are comparatively more prone to motion sickness than men. In another work, the researchers experimented on a set of 40 participants to analyze the amount of motion sickness in VR users [30]. The result of the study indicates significant differences of motion sickness scores between male and female VR participants.…”

“…With the rising trend of VR, it was observed that past experience with 3D content and VR also holds an important relationship with motion sickness [23], [30], [33]. To analyze the association of motion sickness with former experience, an experiment was conducted by introducing overwritten symbols in VR environments [30]. For this purpose, a total of 40 participants were selected who prior experienced motion sickness of any type.…”

Due to rapid growth in Virtual Reality (VR) technology, the industry of VR is expected to grow around $26.89 billion by 2022. However, with its extensive growth and immersive inclusion in human life, health-related issues are reported including, but not limited to nauseated feeling, vomiting, dizziness and cold sweats. These issues introduce a well-known side effect termed as motion sickness in VR users. Consequently, motion sickness limits the VR community in the full adaptation of this immersive technology. Since there is no lack of literature investigating motion sickness caused by VR, yet researches on the effect of VR on human's physiology is still in its infancy. This study presents novel findings, by comparing different factors such as gender, motion sickness experience, 3D games experience and VR experience. Furthermore, it reports the impact of concerning factors in a within-subjects design (46 participants participated in an experiment) under different virtual environment genres. The key findings of this article report that there is a significant difference in the amount of motion sickness when shifting from pleasant to the horror genre of the environment and having a strong dependence on gender. Moreover, the type of virtual environment is an essential factor that has a notable effect on the user's blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate. However, past experiences with motion sickness and 3D games show no significant impact on the user's level of motion sickness.

Virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR HMDs) have become a popular platform for gaming. However, simulator sickness (SS) is still an impediment to VR's wider adoption, particularly in gaming. It can induce strong discomfort and impair players' immersion, performance, and enjoyment. Researchers have explored techniques to mitigate SS. While these techniques have been shown to help lessen SS, they may not be applicable to games because they cannot be easily integrated into various types of games without impacting gameplay, immersion, and performance. In this research, we introduce a new SS mitigation technique, VRCockpit. VRCockpit is a visual technique that surrounds the player with four 2D views, one for each cardinal direction, that show 2D copies of the areas of the 3D environment around the player. To study its effectiveness, we conducted two different experiments, one with a car racing game, followed by a first-person shooter game. Our results show that VRCockpit has the potential to mitigate SS and still allows players to have the same level of immersion and gameplay performance.
