Appropriate Use of Virtual Environments to Minimise Motion Sickness

Abstract

With the current fast rate of technological developments and the high requirements for training with sophisticated apparatus, the military has become more and more involved in working with simulators. The term simulator" here means: a systems that has the potential to create sensations of passive or active self movement in a simulated environment. This definition of the term simulator" not only applies to the traditional flight simulators both with and without a moving base but also to Virtual Environments (VE) set-tips implemented in Head Mounted Display (HMD) systems which no doubt will become part of future flight training programs.
