Abstract: Cybersickness, a significant challenge in virtual reality (VR) environments, impedes the seamless adoption of immersive technologies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of various mitigation techniques, including Field of View (FoV) Adjustment, Frame Rate Optimization, Motion Smoothing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), on reducing Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) scores among participants. Data were collected from 50 individuals divided into age and gender groups to examine baseline cybersickness levels and post-intervention outcomes. Combined strategies, particularly CBT with FoV Adjustment, achieved the highest reduction of SSQ scores (49.9%). Male participants exhibited a higher baseline SSQ but responded better to mitigation, whereas females showed consistent improvement across interventions. Satisfaction rates exceeded 75% for most techniques, reflecting their practical applicability. Comparative analysis with prior studies highlighted the unique efficacy of multi-strategy approaches. Limitations included sample diversity and exposure duration, suggesting avenues for future research. These findings emphasize the critical role of tailored interventions in enhancing VR user experience and reducing cybersickness risks.
