    I may only be able to sit through 30 minutes": Gaming Sickness and Its Impact on Players' Experiences With Games"
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Chen, Anna; Burtscher, Sabrina; Gerling, Kathrin
    Gaming sickness, where players experience dizziness, nausea, or even vomiting while playing video games, is typically viewed through a quantitative lens, limiting our insights into the lived experience of the phenomenon and thus concealing mitigation strategies. To gain a more nuanced understanding of gaming sickness, and to explore possible lanes of future research, we conducted twelve semi-structured interviews with people affected by gaming sickness. Our results show that the experience of gaming sickness is highly individual, with a wide spectrum of symptoms and varying severity. Environmental factors can influence gaming sickness, and many participants have developed individual contextual and game-related coping strategies, which they apply with varying degrees of success. For games to be more accessible to everyone, future work should focus on studying specific triggers, and needs to explore different forms of adjustments so players can tailor games to their individual needs.

    Shaken, not stirred: Effects of Minimal Rotational Motion Cues on Cybersickness in a VR Flying Experience
    (Proceedings of Mensch und Computer 2024, 2024) Schnitzer, Benjamin Lukas; Caserman, Polona; Korn, Oliver
    Cybersickness (CS), a visually induced motion sickness causing unwanted symptoms like nausea, disorientation, and vertigo, remains a significant issue in Head-Mounted-Display (HMD) based virtual environments, hindering the mainstream adoption of Virtual Reality (VR). The exact cause of cybersickness is still not conclusively clarified, however the predominant theory of sensory conflict suggests that the discrepancy between perceived and expected visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive information triggers these symptoms. Mitigating sensory conflict with the help of supplementary motion simulation aligning visual and vestibular stimuli appears promising, however to which extent motion has to be simulated is still underexplored. This work presents the results of a study (n = 43), based on a between-participants design, investigating the effects of minimal rotational motion (MIROMO) cues for pitch and roll (+/- 6°) on cybersickness in a lean-back VR flight experience. CS was measured with both, self-reported questionnaires, particularly the widespread Simulator Sickness Questionnaire, and biomarkers (electrodermal activity and heart rate variability). The results imply the non-effectiveness of MIROMO cues on cybersickness and thus can help future research experimenting with motion simulation to reduce sensory conflict or to enhance the overall experience. The results contribute to better understand the relationship between cybersickness and continuous locomotion techniques.
