Exploring the utility of EDA and skin temperature as individual physiological correlates of motion sickness

Joseph Smyth et al.

Summary: This study tracks subjective motion sickness alongside physiological measurements in real-time, finding a lack of reliability for these measures at an individual level and suggesting that environmental and emotional factors have a greater impact on physiological measurements than motion sickness itself. Physiological measures are not considered useful for accurately or reliably measuring motion sickness in real-time.

Effects of the Weight and Balance of Head-Mounted Displays on Physical Load

Kodai Ito et al.

Summary: The study found that the weight and balance of HMDs have an impact on user fatigue, with torque at the neck joint corresponding to the physical load imparted by the HMD. Therefore, in the design process of HMDs, it is necessary to consider both balance and weight reduction to improve comfort.

Human factors/ergonomics evaluation for virtual reality headsets: a review

Yumiao Chen et al.

Summary: Virtual reality has the potential to create immersive and interactive worlds, but human factors/ergonomics issues with VR headsets can negatively impact user health and limit technological applications. This paper provides an overview of HFE studies for VR headsets, discussing factors such as human performance, pressure, fatigue, and motion sickness, as well as evaluation methods for better product development. The future direction of virtual reality technology is also explored, highlighting the importance of human-centric research in advancing the industry.
