ABSTRACT
Motion sickness is a condition characterized primarily by nausea, vomiting, pallor and cold sweating that occurs when a person is exposed to certain types of real or visually implied motion. Motion sickness is a generic term that embraces seasickness, airsickness, carsickness, swing-sickness, simulator-sickness, virtual-reality-sickness and spacesickness, all various forms of the malady named after the provocative environment. Despite the diversity of the causal environment, there are certain essential characteristics of the provocative motion stimulus that are common to all these conditions, hence the use of the general term.
