It has been reported that auditory or visual cues alerting passengers of changes in upcoming car motion can mitigate motion sickness. As such cues interfere with audio(visual) tasks that passengers may want to perform, we here investigated whether 1) anticipatory vibrotactile cues mitigate motion sickness as well, and 2) what the most effective timing of the cue is. To that end, we exposed participants to four sessions of motion sickening displacements on a linear sled. In three sessions, an anticipatory cue was presented prior to the onset of forward motion, either at 3 s, 1 s, or 0.33 s. We compared the scores on a motion sickness scale given within these sessions to the scores given in a control session with a non-anticipatory cue. Our results show that under the chosen experimental conditions, the anticipatory cues did not mitigate motion sickness, irrespective of their timing. They might be effective in more motion challenging environments with highly unpredictable displacements. }, keywords = {anticipatory cueing, carsickness, haptic, timing}, }
