We conducted an experiment measuring VR sickness using HMD, manipulating optic flow and retinal flow in three conditions. The results showed that sickness scores increased according to the amount of optic flow, but not of retinal flow, indicating that optic flow, not retinal flow, is essential to induced VR sickness.
