• Abstract summary: In this work, we first present a detailed review about possible causes of Cybersickness (CS) Our system is able to suggest if the user may be entering in the next moments of the application into an illness situation. The CSPQ (Cybersickness Profile Questionnaire) is also proposed, which is used to identify the player's susceptibility to CS.

• Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) is an imminent trend in games, education, entertainment, military, and health applications, as the use of head-mounted displays is becoming accessible to the mass market. Virtual reality provides immersive experiences but still does not offer an entirely perfect situation, mainly due to Cybersickness (CS) issues. In this work, we first present a detailed review about possible causes of CS. Following, we propose a novel CS prediction solution. Our system is able to suggest if the user may be entering in the next moments of the application into an illness situation. We use Random Forest classifiers, based on a dataset we have produced. The CSPQ (Cybersickness Profile Questionnaire) is also proposed, which is used to identify the player's susceptibility to CS and the dataset construction. In addition, we designed two immersive environments for empirical studies where participants are asked to complete the questionnaire and describe (orally) the degree of discomfort during their gaming experience. Our data was achieved through 84 individuals on different days, using VR devices. Our proposal also allows us to identify which are the most frequent attributes (causes) in the observed discomfort situations.

We develop a bio-physically inspired computational model to predict neck MCL under diverse head kinematic states. We hope this research will motivate new ergonomic-centered designs for VR/AR and interactive graphics applications.

We conduct a formal psychophysical experiment to record the scanpaths and perceived quality scores from $139$ participants under two different viewing conditions.

Twenty-five participants aged between 20 and 45 years with 12-16 years of full-time education evaluated various versions of VR-EAL. The final version of VR-EAL achieved high scores in every sub-score of the VRNQ and exceeded its parsimonious cut-offs.

  The VRNQ was developed to assess the quality of VR software in terms of user experience, game mechanics, in-game assistance, and VRISE. The maximum duration of VR sessions should be between 55-70 minutes when the VR software meets or exceeds the parsimonious cut-offs of the VRNQ. Deeper immersion, better quality of graphics and sound, and more helpful in-game instructions and prompts were found to reduce VRISE intensity.
