Cyber sick but still having fun

Abstract

In this paper, we present our efforts towards creating a deliberately sickening virtual reality (VR) game. Based on a considerable number of tests, we can show that games can be enjoyable despite experienced adverse effects that arise from frequent acceleration in VR and additional post-processing distortions of the rendered scene. We briefly explain the rationale that drove us to take these measures, details about their realisation and results from a questionary-based user evaluation.
