A Testbed for Studying Cybersickness and its Mitigation in Immersive Virtual Reality

This IEEE conference talk presents a novel testbed designed for studying cybersickness and its mitigation techniques in immersive virtual reality environments. Explore how researchers Davide Calandra and Fabrizio Lamberti from the Department of Control and Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino address one of VR's most persistent challenges. The presentation introduces four specially designed virtual scenarios that deliberately induce cybersickness in predictable ways, allowing for objective measurement of user performance. Learn about the integrated experimental protocol that combines standard questionnaires with state-of-the-art measurements to assess cybersickness levels and overall user experience. The talk also demonstrates a practical application of the testbed by evaluating a specific cybersickness mitigation technique against a baseline condition without mitigation.
