The Sixth Workshop on Immersive Sickness Prevention

The Sixth Workshop on Immersive sickness Prevention (WISP), held in conjunction with IEEE VR 2025 in Saint-Malo, France, is intended to foster discussion between researchers, developers, and practitioners interested in addressing cybersickness, one of the most significant usability issues in VR. Cybersickness remains one of the most significant challenges facing the virtual reality industry. Although immersive technologies have been advancing rapidly, their rate of public adoption has been slowed by the fact that many users experience physical discomfort during or after the use of VR devices, with symptomatic characteristics similar to motion sickness. Furthermore, studies have consistently shown that motion sickness disproportionately affects women, and concerns have been raised about the existence of inequitable barriers for engaging with immersive media.
