Professor of kinesiology  and director of the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory (APAL) Thomas A. Stoffregen, Ph.D., commented on a Yahoo health article discussing motion sickness. The article explores the fact that with modern technology, a person does not necessarily have to be moving to experience motion sickness.

According to Stoffregen, “motion sickness is a slippery eel because it’s so profoundly subjective.” He comments in the article that “the perceived wisdom on this head-mounted display [Oculus Rift] is that it’s going to revolutionize our interaction with the Internet”  but  “the problem with Oculus Rift [virtual reality headset for 3D gaming] is that it induces motion sickness in a disturbingly large number of people who use it.”
