PianoFMS: Real-time Evaluation of Cybersickness by Keyboard Fingering

Various measurement tools/methods have been developed to assess cybersickness induced in virtual environments, e.g., using the controller, dial device, and verbal input. In this poster, we propose PianoFMS as a cybersickness measurement tool that allows users to directly input absolute scores using the five piano keys without tampering with visual content. The preliminary study revealed that the levels of cybersickness measured using both the dial and PianoFMS were similar, and they each exhibited a significant correlation with that of the conventional post-experiment questionnaire scores. However, the PianoFMS exhibited a markedly enhanced level of usability in comparison to the dial.
