Prior research proposed different mitigation strategies. Yet, it remains unclear how effectively they work, considering users’ real-world susceptibility to motion sickness. We present a lab experiment, in which we assessed 146 users‘ real-world susceptibility to nausea, dizziness and eye strain before exposing them to a roller coaster ride with low or high visual resolution. We found that nausea is significantly lower for higher resolution but real world motion susceptibility has a much stronger effect on dizziness, nausea, and eye strain. Our work points towards a need for research investigating the effectiveness of approaches to mitigate motion sickness so as not to include them from VR use and access to the metaverse.}, isbn = {978-3-031-42283-6}, language = {English}, location = {York, United Kingdom}, owner = {florian}, timestamp = {2023.09.02}, url = {http://www.florian-alt.org/unibw/wp-content/publications/hein2023interact.pdf}, }
