The Past, Present and Future of Research in Visually Induced Motion Sickness

While humans have experienced motion sickness symptoms in response to perceived motion from early history through the present day, motion sickness symptoms also occur during exposure to some types of visual displays. Even with no actual motion, symptoms may result from visually perceived motion, which are often classified as effects of visually induced motion sickness (VIMS). This paper includes a brief discussion on general motion sickness and then focuses primarily on three lines of recent VIMS investigation that we have conducted.
