However, VR sickness (VRS) remains a major obstacle to broader adoption. This study investigates the effect of auditory stimuli on VRS during VR experiences. It contrasts the effects of music and podcasts, with a no-sound environment serving as reference. Twenty-three participants experienced three different auditory conditions during a VR roller coaster ride in a randomized, balanced order. VRS was quantified using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ) and physiological data. The SSQ results indicate that music significantly reduced oculomotor disturbances and disorientation, while podcasts had no positive effects. The physiological data demonstrated no significant effects. The majority of participants preferred the music scenario, describing it as relaxing and pleasant. This highlights the potential of music, especially when self-selected and perceived as pleasant, to improve VR experience by significantly reducing VRS. This effect appears to be independent of physiological data.

However, there will be situations where things do not go as planned, such as medical emergencies during a flight. Due to the lack of cabin crew, tailored support measures must be identified to ensure passenger safety and well-being. To explore how potential passengers perceive medical emergencies on board as bystanders and what kind of assistance they expect, we conducted a VR study. The results show significant increases in negative emotions during a medical in-flight emergency. Moreover, support measures involving human interaction were rated significantly higher than those relying solely on information displayed on onboard screens. Particularly well-received were pilot announcements. For UAM to enter the market successfully, it is essential to address passenger needs in critical situations. Our findings provide valuable insights into shaping effective and user-centered emergency support strategies for eVTOL operations.
