Subject: VR - Motion Sickness paper

To any and all interested...

I'll be presenting a paper at a DoD Interagency Technical Information Exchange 
on Visual Issues in Training and Simulation (in Mesa, AZ) this week entitled 
"Visually-induced motion sickness in virtual reality systems:  Implications 
for Training and Mission Rehearsal."  The co-author of the paper is Gary 
Riccio, Dept. of Kinesiology, University of Illinois.

The paper discusses some past research on visually-induced motion 
sickness and discusses the potential for problems with some VR systems.  The 
intent is not to conduct VR-bashing - quite the contrary.  Our major argument 
is to investigate the problem now so that when systems come online they will 
have minimal difficulties.

We would be glad to send a copy via email to anyone who would like one - we're 
anxious to hear comments and get together with those interested in similar 
issues.  Send me email if you would like a copy.
