Gaming using VR headsets is becoming increasingly popular; how-ever, these displays can cause VR sickness. To investigate the effectsof gender and gamer type on VR sickness motion illusions are usedas stimuli, being a novel method of inducing the perception of motionwhilst minimising the “accommodation vergence conflict”. Femalesand those who do not play action games experienced more severeVR sickness symptoms compared to males and experienced actiongamers. The interaction of the gender and gamer type revealed thatprior video gaming experience was beneficial for females, however,for males, it did not show the same positive effects.
