First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 4-week virtual reality exercise program to help people who get motion sickness from visual cues, like in VR or certain videos. 46 adults, some with and some without motion sickness, took part. The program used 360-degree travel videos in a VR headset to gradually build tolerance. Researchers measured symptoms like dizziness and nausea before and after the program to see if it helped.
