Simulator Sickness

The correct term for the type of motion sickness that crippled the VR industry in the 90s. simulator sickness is caused by slight lag in the system such that the visual image of motion reaches the user a short time after they have finished moving, resulting in conflicting data to the brain from the eyes and the balance centre. This causes disorientation and something very similar to motion sickness.

Non virtual, Virtual Simulator
Researchers at the Max Planck institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, have created a first of its kind: A virtual reality simulator that does not actually create simulations in VR-space. Instead, they exist in physical dimensions, just not exactly normal matter.

Surgical Simulators
In a strange twist of logic, endoscopic surgeons are starting to benefit from the technologies used in flight simulators. The task at hand is the development of a surgical simulator for minimally invasive surgery, that uses the standard endoscopic tools the surgeons would use in an actual surgery, and will use VR technology to add in full sensation.
