The NATO HFM-MSG-323 Specialist Team (ST) addressed the best practice and design techniques and procedures that may reduce the incidence and severity of cybersickness by giving scientifically-founded information on how to mitigate cybersickness, with a focus on immersive virtual environments and virtual reality (VR) goggles as they are used in a defence setting. This has been achieved by making reference to the literature on the topic, explaining the different findings related to cybersickness and the technology which elicits cybersickness, addressing cybersickness in terms of symptoms and how they can be measured, giving an overview of all the individual, technological, and operational factors known to affect cybersickness, and providing an overview of scientifically proven countermeasures (and some noted as conjectural), from design, behavioural, and neurophysiological points of view.
