1. A system comprising:

  • a unit attachable to a person'"'"'s head wherein the head-attachable unit further comprises;

    an orientation sensing element responsive to pitch of the person'"'"'s head and roll of the person'"'"'s head wherein pitch represents a rotation about a first axis representing up and down movement of the person'"'"'s face while the rear of the person'"'"'s head moves in the opposite direction and roll represents rotation about a second axis perpendicular to the pitch axis in which the face rotates about the nose when looked at from the front;

    a control circuit, wherein the control circuit produces an orientation sensor signal responsive to the orientation sensing element; and

    a head-attachable display viewable by the person wherein the head-attachable display comprises;

    a first image that is not responsive to pitch of the person'"'"'s head and not responsive to roll of the person'"'"'s head; and

    a display element viewable by the person wherein the display element is responsive to the orientation sensor signal;

    a first human response sensor wherein the first response sensor comprises a sensor selected from the group of a galvanic skin response sensor;

    a blood pressure sensor, and an electroencephalograph;

    a second human response sensor wherein the second response sensor comprises a video camera wherein the video camera is responsive to an eye parameter selected from the group of a palpebral movement, nystagmus, and a saccade;

    a third human response sensor wherein the third response sensor is responsive to the person'"'"'s heart rate;

    a physical response detection algorithm, wherein;

    the algorithm is computed in a digital processor responsive to the orientation sensing element, the first human response sensor, the second human response sensor; and

    the heart rate sensor;

    the algorithm computes a human physical condition signal that is a measure of the condition of the person wherein the condition is selected from the group of dizziness, vertigo, motion sickness, motion intolerance, and spatial disorientation; and

    an electronic interface configured for transmitting the human physical condition signal to an external system selected from the group of a vehicle and a device.
