Challenge
Motion sickness affects 20 to 60 percent of VR users. It cuts training sessions short, limits who can train in a headset, and slows adoption of VR training and mission rehearsal tools that could save time and money.
File 17
A proprietary VR acclimation solution addressing motion sickness, which affects 20 to 60 percent of VR users and limits adoption of cost-saving training and mission rehearsal technology.
The project.
Our approach
Design and develop a novel acclimation approach that enables new, or sickness prone VR users to rapidly and effectively acclimate to visually intense VR applications without any external hardware.
Status and next steps
File 17 is in development. SCCI will present its research on mitigating cyber sickness in a peer-reviewed paper at I/ITSEC 2026 in Orlando. Check back after I/ITSEC to read the paper.
Why I started it
“VR can be a great training tool, but it’s hard to learn when it makes you feel sick. With File17, we’re working to help people get comfortable in VR at their own pace, so they can focus on the training and build skills they can use in the real world.”
