VR Working Group attracting media attention for their research on Cybersickness

Séamas Weech, Jessy Varghese, and Michael Barnett-Cowan, members of the VR working group at the Games Institute, co-authored a paper entitled "Estimating the sensorimotor components of cybersickness" published in the Journal of Neurophysiology.

Their results caught the attention of many, many news outlets who were picking the story up and claiming that UW researchers are on the cusp of curing cybersickness. Here are just a few...

• Virtual reality motion sickness may be predicted and counteracted
• WATERLOO RESEARCHERS MAY BE ABLE TO PREDICT AND COUNTERACT VR SICKNESS
• Scientists can Predict People’s Tolerance of VR Motion Sickness
• New Study Finds Way to Predict Cybersickness from Prolonged VR Use
• Scientists find way to predict cybersickness
