Will visual cues help alleviating motion sickness in automated cars? A review article.

This study examines the feasibility of incorporating visual cueing systems within vehicles to mitigate the risk of motion sickness. The question is to enhance passenger awareness and the ability to anticipate the forces associated with car travel motion. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, the findings demonstrate that visual cues can mitigate motion sickness for particular in-vehicle configurations, but their influence on situational awareness is not significant. Each type of visual cue proved more effective when presented in the peripheral field of view rather than solely in the central vision. Promising applications can be found within interactive screens and ambient lighting, while the use of extended reality shows potential for future investigations. Integrating such systems into highly automated vehicles has the potential to improve their overall user acceptance.
