Abstract

This paper describes one work-in-progress finding of a larger pilot study, investigating simulator sickness in virtual reality. The investigation asked participants (n = 10) to play though a VR application, and then complete a Simulator Sickness Questionnaire. Participants were also asked for some demographic data, including rating their level of traditional gaming experience (0 to 5). A weak Spearman correlation between gaming experience and virtual reality sickness was found (r s = 0.56) in this sample group. Two hypotheses on why this correlation may exist are also presented in this paper - one described using the postural instability theory, and the other described with the rest frame hypothesis.
