Neural Balance Innovations recently showcased their GVS solution, the Stimbox, which aims to combat motion sickness in virtual reality (VR) environments. Motion sickness occurs when there's a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your inner ear senses, leading the brain to react as if it’s been poisoned. The Stimbox uses Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) to send electrical signals to the vestibular system, helping align these sensory inputs. The device can either desensitize the inner ear or synchronize its signals with VR movements, reducing nausea and enhancing the immersive experience. During a demonstration, the author experienced the effects of the Stimbox first-hand. After electrodes were placed behind their ears, they felt electrical shocks that caused involuntary movements, mimicking the sensation of swinging or leaning. In a subsequent VR test with the Epic Rollercoaster app, the author reported no motion sickness, even during rapid movements. However, there were strange body sensations, like involuntary leaning and foot contractions, which raised safety concerns. The author described the experience as feeling like “black magic,” praising the potential of the technology to create a more realistic VR experience while noting that it is still early for consumer use. The Stimbox is priced at €1200 and is primarily marketed for professional training purposes, like pilot simulations. While the technology shows promise, it faces challenges such as the discomfort of electrical stimulation and the need for improved user stability. The author expresses excitement about the technology's future but emphasizes the importance of addressing safety and comfort for wider adoption.
