Emetic Labs: simulator sickness in videogame players

Simulator sickness is a physiological phenomenon similar to motion sickness that occurs in a number of contexts of media engagement, including videogame play. Emetic Labs is a game and research protocol intended for the study of simulator sickness in relation to videogames. The goal of Emetic Labs is to gather data from people who suffer from simulator sickness in games, first by collecting electronic survey data, then by observing people as they play a game in a controlled environment. The data will be analyzed to determine if there are trends between a) the demographics of videogame players, b) how a player navigates through the game world while feeling healthy or sick, and c) the time it takes for those players to experience sickness.
