Abstract(in English) In recent years, virtual reality (VR) is expected to be utilized in various fields and research is being conducted. However, many of the operations in VR involve moving the arms in the air, causing a problem called gorilla arm syndrome. Gorilla arm syndrome is caused by moving the arm in the air, and over time the arm twitches due to fatigue, and the user feels pain. There is still no optimal solution for this problem. In order to investigate the optimal solution for gorilla arm syndrome, it is necessary to analyze fatigue as the main cause and investigate appropriate remedial measures. Therefore, we developed a fatigue accumulation simulator to quantitatively investigate the fatigue. Next, we verified the developed fatigue accumulation simulator and obtained the result that the simulator can be used for the investigation of fatigue. Using this fatigue accumulation simulator, we identified the motions that have a large impact on fatigue in an arbitrary task performed in VR, and investigated the optimal support method. We evaluated the support methods that were predicted to be optimal, and obtained the result that the support methods predicted to be optimal were partially effective compared with the support methods predicted to be suboptimal.
