Unleashing the potential of VR: reducing sickness in head-mounted displays

虚拟现实（VR）是一项具有许多应用用途的突破性技术。不幸的是，许多人在使用头戴式显示器（hmd）时会生病。我们的项目提出并旨在测试一种关于晕屏病的新理论。我们打算首次量化HMD VR产生的感官冲突，并测量它们对感知、眼动、平衡和幸福感的影响。该项目将1)确定晕屏病的原因和导致晕屏病的条件；2)提供如何预防的实用信息。这些成果预计将直接受益，并大大改善HMD在国防、教育、娱乐、游戏、医疗、房地产、模拟培训和旅游等领域的应用。

Virtual reality (VR) is a breakthrough technology with a host of applied uses. Unfortunately, many people become sick when using head-mounted displays (HMDs). Our project proposes, and aims to test, a new theory of this cybersickness. We intend to quantify the sensory conflicts produced by HMD VR for the first time and measure their effects on perception, eye-movements, balance and well-being. The project will 1) determine the causes of, and conditions responsible for, cybersickness; and 2) offer practical information on how to prevent it. These outcomes are expected to directly benefit, and greatly improve HMD use in, fields ranging from defence, education, entertainment, gaming, medicine, real estate, simulation training and tourism.
