Description (French)
MARS VR Lab, comme d’autres équipes travaillant dans le domaine de la réalité virtuelle, a reçu des commentaires de la part de certains participants selon lesquels conduire ou se déplacer dans le jeu provoque des nausées. La recherche et les essais visent à recenser les éléments techniques, visuels et kinesthésiques les plus susceptibles d’induire des nausées. L’équipe recherchera et testera diverses méthodes pour minimiser l’impact de ces facteurs tout en maintenant l’expérience d’apprentissage. L’équipe a l’intention de consulter des experts sur le terrain, d’agréger des données de recherche sur la RV, de concevoir des stratégies d’essai et de mettre en œuvre autant de tactiques de réduction de la nausée que possible.
