This study utilized a machine-deep-ensemble learning model to classify CS induced by VR immersion, achieving high accuracy in categorizing CS into neutral, non-CS, and CS states. The ensemble model outperformed individual machine learning models, demonstrating its effectiveness in accurately detecting physiological signals associated with CS caused by VR immersion.
This study aims to classify cybersickness (CS) caused by virtual reality (VR) immersion through a machine-deep-ensemble learning model. The heart rate variability and respiratory signal parameters of 20 subjects were measured, while watching a VR video for similar to 5 minutes. After the experiment, the subjects were examined for CS and questioned to determine their CS states. Based on the results, we constructed a machine-deep-ensemble learning model that could identify and classify VR immersion CS among subjects. The ensemble model comprised four stacked machine learning models (support vector machine [SVM], k-nearest neighbor [KNN], random forest, and AdaBoost), which were used to derive prediction data, and then, classified the prediction data using a convolution neural network. This model was a multiclass classification model, allowing us to classify subjects' CS into three states (neutral, non-CS, and CS). The accuracy of SVM, KNN, random forest, and AdaBoost was 94.23 percent, 92.44 percent, 93.20 percent, and 90.33 percent, respectively, and the ensemble model could classify the three states with an accuracy of 96.48 percent. This implied that the ensemble model has a higher classification performance than when each model is used individually. Our results confirm that CS caused by VR immersion can be detected as physiological signal data with high accuracy. Moreover, our proposed model can determine the presence or absence of CS as well as the neutral state. Clinical Trial Registration Number: 20-2021-1.
