Simulator sickness — Five experiments using autostereoscopic mid-sized or small mobile screens

Visual comfort is one of the factors of 3D experience. The goal of this paper is to evaluate simulator sickness as a part of five different video quality evaluation studies. The experiments are conducted using three different dual-view autostereoscopic mid-sized and small mobile screens with varying constructed video quality levels, under different lengths of viewing, and with a total of 200 participants. The simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) was used in the data-collection in the pre- and post-immersion. The results showed only a small short term increase in the symptoms after exposure in four studies indicating a good applicability of these displays for short term video viewing.
