I korthet

Motion sickness (vestibular mismatch) occurs when eyes perceive motion but body doesn't (or vice versa). Common in VR, games with poor frame rate, vehicles. Mitigation: higher frame rates (90+ FPS), reduced latency, visual references (horizon line). Professionals (game designers, VR developers, product managers) need this knowledge to avoid user discomfort. Mastery takes 1-2 weeks; niche but practical.

Vad är Motion Sickness Prevention

Motion sickness (especially in VR and games) occurs when the brain perceives conflicting signals: eyes see motion but the body's vestibular system (balance) doesn't feel it. This mismatch triggers nausea and discomfort. Prevention involves technical (frame rate, latency) and design (camera movement, reference points) strategies to minimize vestibular mismatch.

❓ Vanliga frågor

Why does VR cause motion sickness?
Vestibular mismatch: eyes see movement but inner ear (balance system) doesn't feel it. Brain conflicts. Solution: reduce mismatch, higher frame rate, lower latency, stable camera, fixed reference point.
What frame rate prevents motion sickness?
90 FPS = comfortable for most. Below 60 FPS = many users feel sick. 144 FPS = minimal sickness. Latency (delay between head movement and screen update) equally important, should be <20ms.
How do I test for motion sickness?
User testing essential. Ask users: comfort rating (1-10), nausea (none/mild/moderate/severe). Measure per feature. Iterate. Motion sickness varies by individual; no universal threshold.
Can I reduce sickness without changing frame rate?
Yes. Add horizon line or fixed reference. Reduce field of view (FOV). Slower camera movement. Teleport instead of smooth locomotion. Ginger supplements help some. Multiple approaches.
What about games on console/PC (non-VR)?
Same principles. High frame rate, low latency, stable camera = comfortable. 60 FPS minimum, 120+ FPS preferred. Camera distance (first-person more sickness-prone than third-person).
Is motion sickness preventable for everyone?
No. ~10-15% of population highly susceptible (vestibular issues, anxiety). Design for 85%+. Options for susceptible users: lower FOV, comfort modes, easy-quit mechanics.
