healthy adults stood on a moveable platform and were surrounded by a 3 dimensional screen on which a video of moving objects was

Sensory conflict theory states passive movement can create a mismatch of senses, such as those being received through the eyes and vestibular sense such as the inner ear canal.
Sensory conflict theory explains that motion sickness in virtual reality (VR) systems can be caused due to the mismatch between visual and vestibular senses.
