Implication

User studies demonstrate diverse physical discomforts and reaction time shifts in virtual reality gamers, highlighting the need to evaluate metrics beyond standard cybersickness.

Key Points

Musculoskeletal discomfort and reaction time shifts occurred alongside cybersickness, varying substantially across different active virtual reality game mechanics.
Across 40 participants, assessment using the simulation task load index and cybersickness questionnaire revealed varied device-related discomfort across six games.
Highlights the need for holistic assessments beyond cybersickness in active gaming, questioning the suitability of standard simulator sickness questionnaire tools.
