Abstract(in English) In recent Virtual Reality (VR) systems, various visual stimuli are mainly used to generate the sensation by which the human feels as if he or she exists in a real environment. In such environment, by viewing the moving visual stimuli displayed in a far peripheral vision, the users generally feel as if they are also moving although they are fixed. This feeling is called "vection" which sometimes causes VR sickness similar to motion sickness. In this paper, we proposed the vection-control method to reduce VR sickness. First, we tried to control the vection by rotating ourselves using a motion-base after the vection started. Next, the rotational stimuli made by a computer were given to the subjects just after or just before the vection started. From the experimental results, it was ascertained that the vestibular stimulation is effective to reduce the vection.
