Abstract
Cybersickness poses a major obstacle to using virtual reality, especially when visual stimuli and physical motion are misaligned. This study examines how speed variations in a virtual roller coaster simulation affect cybersickness. Participants experienced the simulation at five speeds (67km/h-202km/h) while their eye movement data (pupil size, blink count, gaze direction, pupil position) and Virtual Reality Sickness Questionnaire (VRSQ) were recorded. The findings showed that the lowest (67km/h) and highest (202km/h) speeds increased sickness, while moderate speed (135km/h) resulted in the least. Correlations between pupil size, blink count, gaze direction, pupil position, and VRSQ suggest these indicators may help predict VR-induced cybersickness. This study seeks to deepen understanding of the relationship between speed, eye movements, and cybersickness to improve methods for predicting and mitigating cyberSickness in VR environments.
