Abstract:

Simulator-induced sickness is a serious problem that can afflict the users of vehicular simulators including aircraft and driving devices. Operators and passengers in training and research simulators have experienced symptoms akin to those of motion sickness both during and following a simulator experience. In some cases, even several hours postexposure, aftereffects or flashbacks to the simulation environment may surface creating sudden disorientation in the individual. The simulator-sickness syndrome appears to be severe and frequent enough that it affects the utility of simulation and may create safety hazards for users. It has, therefore, recently received considerable attention by the human engineering community. This paper provides background information on the sickness problem; its theoretical underpinnings; and a brief, tabularized literature review specific to simulator sickness. All available articles, reports, technical memoranda, and papers directly dealing with the problem of operator discomfort in vehicular simulators were obtained and selectively reviewed.
