What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate whether new Motion Reset software can reduce symptoms of cybersickness, which are similar to motion sickness and include eye strain, nausea, dizziness, or headache, in people using virtual reality VR equipment. The study involves healthy adults aged 18 to 60 years and compares an active VR intervention, a placebo VR experience, and a no-treatment control group to understand the softwares effect on cybersickness prevention. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups one group will use the Motion Reset VR experience designed to prevent cybersickness, another will use a similar VR experience without the prevention features placebo, and the third group will not use VR in the first part. After this, all participants will play a commercial VR game called Jurassic World Aftermath for up to 20 minutes, with regular checks for discomfort. They may stop playing anytime or be asked to stop if symptoms become too severe. During the study visit, participants will complete several questionnaires about their symptoms and experiences before, during, and after VR use. Researchers will track self-reported cybersickness symptoms and the duration participants play the VR game. The study includes assessments of individual factors related to treatment effects and monitors safety by allowing participants to stop if discomfort occurs. The total time commitment is about one hour during a single clinic visit.
