What is it about?
Air traffic controllers cope with multiple tasks while monitoring air traffic. They are trained through advanced 3D simulators. However, they may demonstrate simulator sickness symptoms as well. We explored the influence of different working positions on both simulator sickness and multitasking performance.

Why is it important?
The relationship between multitasking and simulator sickness and the influence of different tasks on these variables should be investigated to inform further training practices for an efficient traffic monitoring.
Perspectives
We were able to see that certain tasks had different influences on both simulator sickness and performance. In further research, we should consider the degree of simulator adaptation, test anxiety and physiological measures of the process as well.
