2 - Balancing Dizziness

Associated contents

To begin the navigation activity, stand or sit comfortably in a stable position. Make sure you have enough space around you to move your body slightly if needed.
Hold the touchpad controller or device securely in your hand, ensuring a firm grip.

Gently turn your body and head to face the direction you want to explore within the 360° image. Use slow, controlled movements to avoid sudden shifts that might trigger dizziness.
Place your thumb or finger on the touchpad. For most touchpads, you can move your thumb in different directions to control your view.
To rotate your view horizontally (left or right), slide your thumb in the corresponding direction on the touchpad.
To look up, slide your thumb upwards on the touchpad, and to look down, slide it downwards.
As you navigate the immersive video, keep your movements smooth and deliberate. Take your time to adjust your view and explore the environment at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
If you ever feel disoriented or dizzy, try focusing on a stationary point within the video to reestablish your sense of balance. You can also take a brief break by looking away from the video and focusing on a stable object in your physical surroundings.
Remember to breathe steadily and relax your body throughout the activity. Deep, controlled breathing can help you maintain calmness and reduce the impact of dizziness.

At regular intervals, rate your feeling of dizziness on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being minimal dizziness and 10 being severe dizziness. Use this scale to track how your sensations evolve during the exercise and across multiple therapy sessions.
Feel free to ask your therapist for support or guidance if you encounter any challenges or discomfort during the navigation activity.
