Summary
This paper outlines the structure, goals, and agenda of a workshop held at the 14th International ACM Conference on Automotive User Interfaces and Interactive Vehicular Applications (AutomotiveUI 2022). The workshop addresses the critical challenge of motion sickness in automated vehicles (AVs). As AVs transform vehicle interiors into spaces for non-driving activities like reading or working, the incidence of motion sickness is expected to increase due to sensory mismatch between vestibular and visual systems. The authors argue that mitigating this issue is essential for ensuring occupant comfort and enabling the productive use of travel time. The workshop was designed to foster a multidisciplinary community involving researchers from automotive engineering, neuroscience, human-computer interaction, and psychology. It aimed to review the current state of motion sickness detection and mitigation, identify research challenges, and establish a collaborative agenda for future work. Detection methods discussed included subjective rating scales (e.g., SSQ, MSAQ) and physiological measures (e.g., heart rate variability, EEG, skin temperature). Mitigation strategies were categorized as vehicle-centric (e.g., optimizing velocity profiles, suspension, and seat configurations) or passenger-centric (e.g., providing visual cues via VR or displays, and neurostimulation techniques like tDCS). The event consisted of two sessions. Session 1 featured introductions by organizers, pre-recorded presentations of their current research, and short presentations by selected participants. This was followed by a keynote address and an overview of pre-selected discussion topics. Session 2 focused on group discussions regarding specific challenges, such as the advantages and disadvantages of various detection measures, study designs (simulators vs. Wizard of Oz methods), and mitigation techniques. Participants voted on topics and engaged in sub-group debates before reconvening for a final summary discussion and a concluding keynote. The significance of this workshop lies in its effort to accelerate progress in motion sickness research by sharing knowledge and resources, such as motion platforms and software toolkits. The organizers intended for the workshop to generate new research ideas, forge collaborations, and serve as the foundation for a shared review paper on detection and mitigation methods. By addressing the complex, multidisciplinary nature of motion sickness, the workshop aims to contribute toward the ultimate goal of creating a motion-sickness-free travel experience for AV occupants.
