  • Publication number: 20250110561
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing a driving simulator are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a virtual reality headset, sensor data that reflects characteristics of a user wearing the virtual reality headset. The actions further include, based on the sensor data, determining, by the virtual reality headset, that the user is likely experiencing motion sickness. The actions further include, based on determining that the user is likely experiencing motion sickness, activating, by the virtual reality headset, a vibration device that is configured to provide vibration feedback to a body of the user.
