Vehicular Simulation-Induced Sickness. Volume 1. An Overview.

Abstract

Simulator-induced sickness is a serious problem which afflicts the users of certain unprogrammed vehicular simulators, including aircraft and driving devices. This report provides background information on the sickness problem, a discussion of its parameters, implications in training and research applications, and theoretical underpinnings. These included a number of incidence reports, investigations of inter- and intra- individual differences with respect to susceptibility, and laboratory and field experiments on simulator sickness. An overview of the major etiological factors of simulator sickness is provided. A number of potential counter-measures for reducing or eliminating the problem are presented. A tabular summary of simulator sickness studies and accounts is also included in an appendix.
