Effects of Light-Dark Adaptation Processes on the Body as a Basic Study for Visually Induced Motion Sickness

The use of stereoscopic images has become popular so that we might encounter numerous situations in which stereoscopic images can be viewed. As a side note, reports of people complaining symptoms of visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) such as headaches and vertigo have been observed. Furthermore, reports on the effects of the illuminance environment on biological reactions have been observed. However, the effects of the light/dark adaptation process on our bodies have not been investigated in detail when viewing stereoscopic images. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a basic study on the influence of differences in the light-dark adaptation process, which has not been well studied, on motion sickness when viewing 3D images.
