Effects of eye movement on visually induced motion sickness
Jinxing Yang · 2010
Eye movement has been considered as an important factor to influence the Visually Induced Motion Sickness (VIMS). Two experiments were conducted in this thesis. The first experiment focused on the presence of eye movements (i.e., with and without eye fixation). Factorial combinations of two speed levels of visual motion and two levels of eye fixation (with and without) were examined. Result showed that the presence of the eye movement significantly increased the levels of VIMS (p0.05). Thus the zero eye movement velocity rather than zero foveal slip velocity is considered to be a key factor in reducing levels of VIMS.
