Abstract Simulator sickness has been a pervasive problem as head-mounted displays (HMDs) grow in popularity. Recent work showed that people can adapt to constant latency in an HMD, but latency that varies has not been examined. In this study, participants performed a shooting task while wearing an HMD during three sessions separated by 48 hours under conditions of constant or varying latency. Performance was assessed for both accuracy (targets hit) and speed (time-to-hit targets). It was hypothesized that participants would adapt to constant, but not varying latency as indicated by decreasing simulator sickness over time. Further, it was hypothesized that participants would improve performance over time for both conditions due to practice, but the constant latency group would improve at a faster rate. Results showed reduced sickness with session regardless of latency condition. A similar trend was shown where performance improved with each session, with no effect of the latency condition. Change in sickness and performance were not correlated, suggesting that the changes were independently driven. These findings showed that people reduced sickness and improved performance with repeated exposure, even when experiencing different perturbations. This finding has implications for both HMDs and general understanding of the relationship between latency and adaptation.

使用头戴式显示器检查不同扰动下的适应和校准

摘要 随着头戴式显示器 (HMD) 的日益普及，模拟器病已成为普遍存在的问题。最近的工作表明，人们可以适应 HMD 中的恒定延迟，但尚未研究不同的延迟。在这项研究中，参与者在持续或变化的潜伏期条件下，在相隔 48 小时的三个会话期间佩戴 HMD 执行射击任务。性能评估包括准确性（击中目标）和速度（击中目标时间）。假设参与者会适应恒定但不变化的延迟，正如随着时间的推移减少模拟器疾病所表明的那样。此外，假设参与者会通过练习在两种情况下随着时间的推移提高表现，但恒定延迟组会以更快的速度提高。结果表明，无论潜伏期如何，都会减少疾病。显示了类似的趋势，其中每个会话的性能都会提高，而没有延迟条件的影响。疾病和表现的变化没有相关性，表明这些变化是独立驱动的。这些发现表明，即使在经历不同的扰动时，人们也可以通过反复接触减少疾病并提高表现。这一发现对 HMD 和对延迟和适应之间关系的一般理解都有影响。这些发现表明，即使在经历不同的扰动时，人们也可以通过反复接触减少疾病并提高表现。这一发现对 HMD 和对延迟和适应之间关系的一般理解都有影响。这些发现表明，即使在经历不同的扰动时，人们也可以通过反复接触减少疾病并提高表现。这一发现对 HMD 和对延迟和适应之间关系的一般理解都有影响。
