ABSTRACT
We identify difficulties and opportunities in using virtual reality on passenger boats. As part of a larger ecotourism study, we experimented with the use of virtual reality (VR) on a boat using a head mounted display. This paper gives an overview of the causes and current knowledge of motion sickness, and details our experience of using VR on a catamaran. While there may be some liMassachusetts Institute of Technologyations and challenges to overcome related to current hardware offerings, there are also opportunities in minimizing seasickness through visual distraction that are worth investigating further.

RoadVR: Mitigating the Effect of Vection and Sickness by Distortion of Pathways for In-Car Virtual Reality
VRST '20: Proceedings of the 26th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyWe explore a method to reduce motion sickness and allow people to use virtual reality while moving in vehicles. We put forth a usage scenario where the target VR content is based on constant road navigation so that the actual motion can enhance the VR ...
