Abstract

As the era of metaverse approaches, there are challenges that need to be solved. Among them, 'cyber motion sickness' is a representative problem from 2016;when VR technology began to attract attention. According to the theory of sensory conflict, motion sickness is caused when the perceived direction of motion information and the expected value are not the same. The paper was written to theoretically explore the relationship between brain cognition and cyber motion sickness, and to prove the effect of user immersion on motion sickness symptoms based on this. Through the SSQ experiment, it was found that the rotation value of the camera aggravates the symptoms of cyber motion sickness and can alleviate cyber motion sickness by increasing the immersion of the game by giving the viewer visual and shift missions to solve. This study was conducted to solve the problem of cyber motion sickness during the process of developing the VR rhythm game "beatale", and it is expected to be the basis for improving cyber motion sickness not only in the development of the project but also in the production of VR contents in the future.

메타버스의 시대가 다가옴에 따라 해결해야 하는 난제가 있다. 그 중 '사이버 멀미'는 VR 기술이 주목받기 시작한 2016년부터 현재까지 VR의 대표적인 문제점이다. 감각 갈등이론에 따르면 멀미는 지각되는 운동 방향 정보와 기댓값이 같지 않을 때 유발한다. 본 논문은 뇌인지와 사이버 멀미의 상관관계에 대해 이론적으로 탐구하고, 이를 바탕으로 사용자의 몰입도가 멀미 증상에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. SSQ 실험을 통해 카메라의 회전 값이 시청자의 사이버 멀미 증상을 악화시킨다는 점과 시청자가 해결해야 할 시각적·변속적 미션을 줌으로써 게임의 몰입도를 높여 사이버 멀미를 완화할 수 있다는 사실을 입증하였다. 본 연구는 VR 리듬 게임인 "beatale"을 개발하는 과정 중 사이버 멀미 문제를 해결하고자 진행되었으며, 해당 프로젝트 개발뿐만 아니라 향후 VR 콘텐츠 제작 시 사이버멀미를 개선하기 위한 기반이 될 것으로 기대된다.
