The best way to measure cybersickness
The Fast Motion Sickness Scale (FMS) has become a valuable tool to assess motion sickness whenever quick unobtrusive measures need to be taken. It is well-anchored and provides scalable, quantitative data, however, it is indifferent to individual symptoms. If anything, it focuses on nausea and neglects many other symptoms of motion sickness such as eye-strain or dizziness. We seek to exploit the advantages of traditional symptom-based questionnaires without subscribing to their disadvantages. To do so, we propose to diversify the FMS to include the most important symptom groups. In particular, we propose the use of three separate FMS variants, each focusing separately on nausea, oculomotor discomfort, and dizziness. We report first findings with these variants of the FMS.
About the Colloquium
The Mind Meets Machine series is a new monthly forum at Aalto CS that brings together researchers and students across disciplines. We focus on the intersection of mind and technology, from cognitive mechanisms to applied AI, aiming to share cutting-edge research, spark dialogue, and foster collaborations across schools and departments.
