Despite the potential benefits, VR usage may impose adverse effects that can prevent users from reaching their goals of using VR safely and comfortably. One potential adverse effect is the disruption of postural stability during VR usage. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using VR on postural stability. Fourteen participants involved in the experimental set up playing a simulated game with Samsung Gear 3 Head Mounted Display (HMD) for 30 minutes with standing posture. During the experiment, the center of pressure data was obtained every 10 minutes using a force plate to calculate postural stability using three parameters including mean distance (MD), mean velocity (MV), and sway area (SA). The results showed that a longer duration of VR usage significantly increased MD and SA. Meanwhile, MV remained constant throughout the experiment. It means the use of VR may worsen users’ postural stability. Thus, caution should be used to develop a future guideline to increase VR safety.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Center of pressure,Experimental set up,Head mounted displays,Mean velocities,Postural stability,Potential benefits,Standing posture,Three parameters[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1517/1/012026[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
