System and method for mitigating cybersickness and motion sickness

A method for mitigating cybersickness of a user engaged in an operation of a 3D-simulated reality device having a visual display, the method comprising:

• receiving a sensed data stream indicating a user condition obtained from a plurality of sensors while the user is engaged in the operation of the device, wherein the user condition includes at least one of a user posture, a user movement, a user eye tracking, or a user biometric;
• fusing the sensed data stream into a fused data stream based on a sensor fusion model;
• determining a state for a plurality of classifications, wherein each state for the plurality of classifications identifies a context of the user while engaged with the device to determine whether the user is susceptible to cybersickness, wherein the step of determining a state further comprises:
• predicting a physiological state of the user for a physiological classification based on a physiological state prediction model and the fused data stream;
• predicting a physical state of the user for a physical classification based on a physical state prediction model and the fused data stream;
• and
• determining a device state of the visual display being engaged by the user for a device classification based on a visual display data indicating a view mode of the visual display;
• determining a mitigation strategy for modifying a display content, a visual representation or a combination thereof based on the physiological state, the physical state, the device state, and a mitigation strategy model;
• and
• implementing the mitigation strategy to change a physiological condition of the user, wherein the step of implementing the mitigation strategy further comprises:
• scheduling the mitigation strategy for modifying the visual display viewed by the user at a predetermined time;
• generating a control command to implement the mitigation strategy to modify the visual display at the predetermined time;
• and
• controlling the visual display based on the control command.
