Influence on physiological and sensorimotor mechanisms
Influence of virtual environments

It's clear that the virtual environment has an effect on human beings. The use of headsets can pose a variety of comfort and health problems. These can be induced by certain categories of VR applications, creating discomfort due mainly to :

• sensorimotor inconsistencies, including those linked to excessive latency times;

• poor interfacing between the subject's visual system and the visiocomponent;

• unsecured technological devices.

We'll look at the first two cases in more detail. The last case can be consulted in the book by P. Fuchs
