Abstract: The main purpose of the master’s qualification work is to develop a VR application for research on reducing the effects of motion sickness. The work consists of four sections and five appendices: a review of the subject area and analysis of scientific works on the problem of reducing the motion sickness effect in VR, research of technologies and environments for solving the problem of reducing the effect of motion sickness in VR, developing software for reducing the effect of motion sickness in VR, practical results of the developed program with a reduced negative impact on the user. In the first chapter, during the analysis of scientific information sources, several methods were identified that will help solve the task. Both technologies for implementation and general advice for VR users are considered. In the second chapter, a comparative analysis was made. As a result, the environment for application development was chosen and the methods of reducing the negative impact of the VR on the user were described in detail. The third section details the steps for writing a program that reduces the impact of BP on the user and demonstrates its performance. The fourth chapter confirms the reduction of the impact on the user of VR disease after receiving the results of user interaction with the application. The volume of work is 73 pages. Keywords: virtual reality, motion sickness, Unity, SSQ, Blink Teleport.
