A big part of reducing motion sickness for me was to ensure that the lenses were set to the appropriate pupillary distance. If they're too wide or to narrow, that can affect your body's ability to handle VR

Most of them throw up because of the motion. With what I've seen of Metaverse, I can understand that they throw up because of the content, too.

I'm young and have played computer games since childhood, I never bought a VR headset cause anything more than 20 minutes and I feel dizzy as fuck.

VR needs an overhaul for me to actually buy into it, I honestly just think the headsets aren't going to work, I don't think a higher refresh rate will fix this

I only play standing games that stick within the confines of room scale, that way all my movements are natural.

When I play other games, it's teleport or nothing, no other locomotion form works for my, my sense of balance is to sensitive, and I haven't had the time to work to get used to it.. and swinging on vines is way out no.

Curiously I also get severe motion sickness when I drive go karts, but not when I drive cars. Although, sitting in the passenger seat, especially the rear seats, however can be a problem sometimes if I'm going around windy roads)

So not a problem at all?

So pretty much like playing Hexen 2 on a P100 in 1997 huh.

I'm super glad I'm not one of them... I will baselessly credit the Nintendo 3DS with developing that skill

Today l learned that some people get motion sickness from playing flatscreen games. How do you even survive a car? Let alone an airplane?

I used to get sick but it goes away with time.

"... and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it."

Thank you for clarifying.

You get used to it. It helps to have a good graphics card so that the frame rate is high enough. I am sad many good games don't support VR. I.e. Start Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Yes, there are mods for it, but it should be supported natively (if mods can do it, why can't the developer?). It is just so much more immersive to be able to look around naturally and see stereoscopic.

Maybe we just aren't built to experience motion in this way.

The only time I've ever felt nauseous playing VR games is when the game has sliding locomotion instead of teleport. When the whole world moves like I'm walking but I'm not actually walking, it feels like everything is slipping and creates nausea.
