Simulator sickness is inevitable during virtual training. At the process of missile lifting task, the problem "how long and how to train" is presented in virtual training of troop, crossed and uncrossed parallax stereoscopic display are set up as different virtual training environment. To analysis the change rules of sickness and performance along with time and different parallax types, subjects are asked to operate the box loading vehicle for 1 hour, and the score of simulator sickness questionnaire is recorded every 10 minutes. The result shows performance is better in crossed environment than which in uncrossed. There is no significant difference in operational performance over time; all subjects feel slight simulator sickness after 10 min training and obvious feeling after 30min. Suggestions are proposed that virtual training should be in crossed parallax environment and keep in 30 min.
