Toward Distinguishing Cybersickness, Visual fatigue, Cognitive load and Acute Stress in Virtual Reality: Two Randomized and Controlled Studies

Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used to study Cognitive load and Acute Stress. But VR comes with side effects such as Cybersickness and Visual fatigue. It remains unclear if we can dissociate psychophysiological responses due to confounding effects. Hence, we conducted two experiments to study
