Mobile devices have small displays, so a virtual display that would bring the benefits of a large computer display to users would be an interesting mobile accessory. However, sickness symptoms are a problem that should be solved before a virtual display can be successful. To explore the symptom levels induced by virtual displays, we have tested several head‐worn virtual display types in various contexts. Our results indicate that monocular and stereoscopic displays induce significant amount of adverse symptoms. On the other hand, the symptom levels induced by biocular displays are not different from the symptoms induced by direct view displays. The results suggest that a biocular display might be the best alternative as a mobile accessory.
