They were asked questions like 'do you feel sick?' or 'are your eyes hurting?' The research team kept an eye on the worker's heartbeat and typing speed. Two people dropped out on the first day of working in virtual reality due to nausea and anxiety, according to a paper published in June. The study found that the results of the study were worse than anticipated. Many of the test subjects felt their task load had increased as a result of their virtual reality experience. The 'negative affect' was up and anxiety rose. Eye strain and mental wellbeing both went down. The participants' self-rated productivity went down.
