Stabilometry to Evaluate Severity of Motion Sickness on Displays

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stereopsis and Hygiene

Abstract

Stereoscopic imaging techniques are used not only in amusement but also in the industrial, medical care, and educational fields; however, symptoms due to stereopsis have been reported. In this chapter, some bio-system and bio-mechanism are introduced although the overstimulation theory cannot explain the space motion sickness and this simulator sickness. We especially focus on the visual function as lens accommodation and the convergence and the vestibular system, which is considered to be sensitive to evaluate the severity of the motion sickness.
