A Study of Physiological Evaluation Method of Cybersickness

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-7375.e17-1168

Abstract

Abstract: A new physiological evaluation method of cybersickness was developed through one-way repeated measures design ANOVA method for the lack of experimental research on physiological evaluation method of motion sickness. Experimental results suggested that 1) the effect of different experimental situations on heart rate(P<0.05) and skin conductance (P<0.05) was significant, 2) the effect of non-virtual reality factors on skin conductance was significant (P<0.05). Heart rate is appropriate as a physiological index to evaluate cybersickness and will significantly increase when becoming symptomatic, while skin conductance and respiration rate are not. Besides, all the three physiological indexes are not appropriate to evaluate the degree of cybersickness.

Key words: cybersickness, physiological evaluation method, experimental situation, physiological index
