[sci.virtual-worlds] VR & nausea

Rebecca Mercuri (mercuri@grad1.cis.upenn.edu) (03/02/91)

I am specifically looking for papers which discuss the problem of VR
producing nausea. The newsgroup has referred to a (recent?) Scientific
American article describing flight simulators but did not mention the 
month and year (or even the title), since the last year or so didn't have
any articles with flight simulators as the main subject, does anyone know
the reference? Various frame rates were bandied about here recently, and
I'd really like to read some studies (if there are any) indicating frame rate
preferences. Clearly the TYPE of image that is being presented could have
something to do with the nausea effect. No hypotheses please, I'm only
looking for papers containing _concrete_ results from actual studies. Any
leads would be greatly appreciated.

Please reply to the address below.

Thanks,
