Abstract: This paper aims to propose a video generation and display method to reduce acceleration stimulus for the passenger in automated ve-hicles by making him/her perceive the vehicle's behavior change in advance with evoking pre-motion to passengers. In automated driving, it is difficult to predict the acceleration stimulus that arises due to the vehicle's behavior change. As a result, motion sickness is led. Our method tries to solve the problem by displaying videos to con-trol the passenger's motive perception. The experiments are con-ducted by displaying an omnidirectional video which the projection surface is deformed according to the acceleration of a passenger on an electric wheelchair. As a result, the deformation reduced the per-ception of acceleration and deceleration is confirmed.
