What is it about?
Augmented Reality does not render a virtual world around the user, but anchors content in the physical environment of the user. We were wondering if vertigo and related aspects under the umbrella of 'simulator sickness' also apply to Augmented Reality smart glasses, so we tested with 142 participants in an experiment whether this is the case for the Microsoft Hololens.

Why is it important?
Vertigo (and other simulator sickness issues) is a barrier to introduction for smart glasses.
Perspectives
Our findings suggest that the AR smart glasses (Microsoft HoloLens) causes across all participants only negligible symptoms of simulator sickness.
