Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the evaluation of the safety features of a virtual reality (VR) system. Several measures of the physiological, biochemical, neurological, and psychological fatigue are calculated before, during, and after the control experiments. Similar is the case with the VR loading experiments in the study discussed in the chapter. It is found that there is subjective fatigue, particularly related with the psychological condition. The urinary catecholamine release (including epinephrine and dopamine) is found to increase in the VR loading sessions as well as the control video sessions. No increase in the norepinephrine release in the VR experiments are found while it increased in the control video session. Based on this, it is speculated that the use of VR does not have much effect on the physical condition, but may slightly affect the mental or psychological state; however, the extent of this effect is not as severe as the usual video presentation. |
