Researchers have developed a virtual reality (VR) app, MATE-AV, designed to help passengers reduce motion sickness by learning to adjust their posture in sync with a vehicle’s movements. This training is especially relevant as self-driving cars become more common, where motion sickness may limit passengers’ ability to engage in activities like reading or working.
In a recent study, participants used the VR app combined with a driving simulator featuring a real car seat. Those who received training adjusted their posture more effectively during simulated drives compared to untrained participants. However, the effect was mostly temporary, and further research is underway to improve lasting benefits.
The project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program and Volkswagen AG.
