A headset to accompany virtual reality units which provides a user the sensation of motion by vestibular stimulation. A fixed or adjustable device positions conductors on the forehead and mastoid regions of the user's head capable of receiving computer generated electrical currents that may be synchronized to audio or video displays to enhance the effect of virtual environments by causing dysequilibrium and a resulting sensation of motion therein.
