Virtual reality (VR) is becoming an important tool in education, medicine, industry, and the gaming industry. However, one of the key barriers to its widespread adoption remains VR motion sickness — a set of physiological symptoms (nausea, dizziness, disorientation) occur during prolonged or intense use of VR devices. The causes of this phenomenon lie in the mismatch of sensory signals: the visual system perceives movement, while the vestibular system detects the body as stationary. For VR manufacturers and content developers, reducing motion sickness is a critical issue, as it directly affects session duration and user satisfaction. This article examines current and prospective methods for minimizing this effect.
