ABSTRACT
Cybersickness in users of virtual reality, similar to motion sickness, is an ongoing problem that limits the accessibility of the technology. This paper presents the results of a study to determine the effects of controlling temperature, via an air flow on cybersickness. A hybrid controller-chair based locomotion system was also developed and tested during the study. 12 participants played a VR game for up to 10mins, after which they described their cybersickness on a 5 point scale. The results on temperature were inconclusive, however the locomotion system appeared easy to understand and successful at reducing some cybersickness caused by rotation.
