A Study on Within-Subject Factors for Visually Induced Motion Sickness by Using 8K Display - Through Measurement of Body Sway Induced by Vection While Viewing Images

Visually induced self-motion perception (vection) is one of the phenomena related to human vision. It often emerges as a precursory symptom of motion sickness while viewing moving images. Employing a large number of subjects in a wide range of age groups and using a large-scale 8 K display, we investigated within-subject factors which can influence a sense of vection. We report some results of statistical analyses of vection-induced body sway which occurred when the subjects viewed rotating images on the display. Then we find that our fundamental study may provide useful information in order to set safety guidelines for large-scale ultra-high-definition displays such as 4K and 8K which are becoming popular in public use.
