Method, apparatus and system for mitigating motion sickness in a virtual reality environment

Abstract

Described herein are a method, system and apparatus for mitigating motion sickness in a virtual reality (VR) environment. In an implementation, the system and apparatus can include a VR controller board, a processor and a VII headset. In an implementation, the processor and VR headset are an integrated device. In general, the method includes capturing measurements using the VR controller board. The measurements are indicative of user directional movements in a physical environment relative to the VR environment. In an implementation, the measurements relate to changes in the location of the center of mass of the user relative to the VR controller board. The processor uses the measurements to determine predetermined actions in the VR environment. The predetermined actions are then executed in the VR environment nearly simultaneous with the user directional movements in the physical environment.
