Towards a Better Understanding of VR Sickness: Physical Symptom Prediction for VR Contents [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We address the black-box issue of VR sickness assessment (VRSA) by evaluating the level of physical symptoms of VR sickness. For the VR contents inducing the similar VR sickness level, the physical symptoms can vary depending on the characteristics of the contents. Most of existing VRSA methods focused on assessing the overall VR sickness score.

Modelling individual motion sickness accumulation in vehicles and driving simulators [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Users of automated vehicles will move away from being drivers to passengers, preferably engaged in other activities such as reading or using laptops and smartphones, which will strongly increase susceptibility to motion sickness. Similarly, in driving simulators, the presented visual motion with scaled or even without any physical motion causes an ...

An EEG-based Experiment on VR Sickness and Postural Instability While Walking in Virtual Environments [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Previous studies showed that natural walking reduces the susceptibility to VR sickness. However, many users still experience VR sickness when wearing VR headsets that allow free walking in room-scale spaces. This paper studies VR sickness and postural instability while the user walks in an immersive virtual environment using an electroencephalogram ...

Predicting long-term sickness absence among employees with frequent sickness absence [PDF]
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2018 Frequent absentees are at risk of long-term sickness absence (SA). The aim of the study is to develop prediction models for long-term SA among frequent absentees.Data were obtained from 53,833 workers who participated in occupational health surveys in the period 2010-2013; 4204 of them were frequent absentees (i.e., employees with ≥ 3 SA spells in the ...

Robot Localization and Navigation through Predictive Processing using LiDAR [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Knowing the position of the robot in the world is crucial for navigation. Nowadays, Bayesian filters, such as Kalman and particle-based, are standard approaches in mobile robotics. Recently, end-to-end learning has allowed for scaling-up to high-dimensional inputs and improved generalization.
