Have you tried the Oculus? I think Oculus is amazing, but I've never really been motion sick until I tried Oculus.

Reading books in the backseat of a car driving through winding mountains, no problem. 5 minutes in Oculus Rift and I want to vomit.

It definitely depends on the game/demo though, so it may just be a matter of very careful game design. Or maybe reducing latency will help.



i've spent well over an hour in the latest prototype with no sickness, and in the dev units I can last 5 minutes tops.


Like you, I have a strong stomach but I also couldn't use the Oculus Rift past 15 minutes before wanting to puke. I wonder if the new prototypes solve this problem.


I'm personally very sensitive to this, and the new version they're working on seems to have completely solved the problem as far as I can tell.
