This paper presents a systematic literature review of cybersickness (CS) in virtual reality (VR), a condition characterized by symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and headaches. The authors compiled a list of 223 relevant studies to review the current state of research on CS, focusing on its causes, measurement techniques, and mitigation strategies. They propose a novel taxonomy of CS measurement techniques and provide guidelines for developers and users to mitigate CS. The review identifies various factors that contribute to CS, including age, gender, motion sickness susceptibility, physical and emotional conditions, and VR content. It also discusses different measurement techniques, such as questionnaires, physiological signals, behavioral data, and VR content features. The paper highlights the importance of understanding these factors and techniques to enhance the user experience and reduce the impact of CS in VR applications.This paper presents a systematic literature review of cybersickness (CS) in virtual reality (VR), a condition characterized by symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
