Kim Bullock, MDClinical Professor, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Stanford UniversityLesson summary
Cybersickness affects an estimated 1–4% of clients, usually early in treatment and much like sea- or car-sickness. Start slow and titrate, adjust position and field of view, and choose scenarios with minimal or no camera movement; many clients desensitise, and for the small number who don't, you simply return to your default treatment.
Key learning points
- Who tends to experience cybersickness
- Titrate, reposition and choose scenarios with minimal camera movement
- When to fall back to default treatment
