Abstract

Viewing environment is an important factor to understand the mechanism of visually induced motion sickness (VIMS). In Experiment 1, we investigated whether the symptom of VIMS changed depending on viewing angle and physical display size. Our results showed that larger viewing angle made the symptom of sickness severer and nausea symptom changed depending on physical display size with identical viewing angles. In Experiment 2, we investigated effects of viewing angle and amplitude of oscillation. The results showed that the effects of viewing angle were not only related to amplitude of oscillation but also to the other factors of viewing angle.
