Cybersickness_x000D_
arises from conflicts between how our eyes perceive our motion in a VR environment, and the fact that we are_x000D_
often not actually moving, which other sensory systems (e.g., the vestibular system) perceive. This conflict_x000D_
yields nausea in VR users. The aim of this project is to investigate methods to reduce cybersickness when_x000D_
moving through VR environments, specifically targeting small space usage scenarios (e.g., when the user is_x000D_
standing or sitting, but not physically walking through the environment)., program purpose french : A well-known problem with virtual reality (VR) systems is motion sickness, or cybersickness. Cybersickness_x000D_
