# How to Mitigate Motion Sensitivity & XR Fatigue?

## Open Question: How to Mitigate Motion Sensitivity & XR Fatigue?

The author briefly notes that [[concept-extended-reality|XR]] still faces **motion sensitivity** and that poorly designed experiences can cause **fatigue**, but offers no specific frameworks or thresholds for avoiding these issues during enterprise deployment.

**Resolution path:** empirical studies on maximum effective **session lengths** for VR/AR in enterprise settings, plus **design standards** for minimizing motion sickness.

**Broader equity/accessibility dimension (from external research):** XR can introduce barriers for employees with **visual, vestibular, or motor impairments**, and extended use causes **eye strain and fatigue** — so a complete strategy needs inclusive design, alternative modalities, and session limits.
