Users may experience symptoms of simulator sickness while watching 360°/VR videos with Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs). At present, practically no solution exists that can efficiently eradicate the symptoms of simulator sickness from virtual environments. Therefore, in the absence of a solution, it is required to at least quantify the amount of sickness. In this paper, we present initial work on our Simulator Sickness Model SiSiMo including a first component to predict simulator sickness scores over time. Using linear regression of short term scores already shows promising performance for predicting the scores collected from a number of user tests.
