CLOSTRA’s Phase I efforts will include a detailed feasibility study of our virtual reality (VR) Sickness (VRs) identification and amelioration program. We expect our program to have wide applicability to VR training in general. VRs is particularly troublesome with high-movement/high-rotational VR environments, but has been shown to cause serious problems even in relatively static VR classroom settings. Removing or reducing VRs for even a small percentage of subjects (25%) leads directly to gains in effectiveness of the VR training program, both reducing costs and improving speed of training. Our technical solution involves a VRs susceptibility test, VRs amelioration program, and a complete VR developer package, allowing developers to construct VR training course that minimizes, from day 1, the severity of VRs. When used in combination our solution enables improved VR training effectiveness, increases information retention, and spurs positive training outcomes.
