The Power of Happy Music in Combating VR Motion Sickness

Listening to joyful or calming music can reduce the intensity of cybersickness symptoms, including dizziness, nausea, and headaches, experienced by virtual reality users, according to a study by researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The study also found that cybersickness can temporarily impair cognitive skills and reaction times, which could limit the use of virtual reality in clinical and educational settings. The researchers suggest that music could be an intervention to encourage greater use of virtual reality in these settings.
