q3 i? Paired t-tests showed no significant differences for the SSQ Total score, the Nausea subscale, and the Oculu-motor subscale before and after the immersion in session 1, indicating that unwanted negative side effects were not induced. → Angélique Remacle 2023

q3 · i? · causal · r2

In the experimental group, the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire was completed before and after the first VR immersion. Paired t-tests found no significant differences for the Total score, Nausea, or Oculo-motor subscales, indicating that "unwanted negative side effects were not induced".

"Paired t-tests showed no significant differences for the SSQ Total score (t =1.33, p = .199), the Nausea subscale (t = .417, p = .681), and the Oculu-motor subscale (t = -1.4, p = .177) before and after the immersion in session 1, indicating that unwanted negative side effects were not induced."

Related Claims¶

• VR sickness in the system is minimal overall (SSQ total 12.88), with nausea lowest and oculomotor symptoms most significant — related
• Cybersickness remains a persistent practical challenge, affecting approximately 42% of VR users, and can occur in AR where symptoms may exceed those in VR — related
• Higher-visuospatial-ability learners experienced lower motion sickness in Desktop-VR, with a tendency for an interaction with format — related
• Motion sickness remains a disagreeable side effect of IVR serious games for a minority of participants — related
• Motion sickness after the iVR experience was negligible for most participants, but a minority felt significant discomfort — related
• No significant safety issues arose in VR-IWS use; one young participant reported minor dizziness in one session only — related
• Trainee teachers who receive voice training with VR classroom simulations show greater improvement in communication self-efficacy in noise than those receiving an information session only — related
