Simulator Sickness And The Oculus Rift: A First Look

Abstract

The use of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) head-mounted display (HMD) and its effects on simulator sickness (SS) was investigated in this preliminary study. Participants performed a navigation task and an observational task. Both of the tasks allowed participants to freely view the 360 degree dynamic three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality environment (VRE). We hypothesized that SS would increase over time participating in the VRE and that SS would be greater in the observational task as compared to the navigation task. SS ratings did increase over time; however, SS did not differ between the observational and navigation task. These findings suggested that SS is still a relevant factor to consider with COTS 3D HMD use.
