Clinical predictors of cybersickness in virtual reality (VR) among highly stressed people

Abstract The use of virtual reality (VR) in the treatment of psychiatric disorders is increasing, and cybersickness has emerged as an important obstacle to overcome. However, the clinical factors affecting cybersickness are still not well understood. In this study, we investigated clinical predictor...
