I played VRLympix' Ski Jump game[1] recently, which isn't at all photorealistic but the vision and motion control is spot on. Looking over the virtual edge of the ramp was a bit discombobulating but bearable. However, when I got up to speed and was approaching the jump, my lizard brain nearly panicked at the prospect of a potentially death-dealing jump/fall/crash, even though my higher brain knew that I was standing safely on a solid, flat floor. My brain seemed to trust the visual reference points at least as much, if not more than my inner ear and I had to lift the headset to stave off the feeling that I was going to fall over. 1: Here's a video of someone else playing it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtZgRqQw2uI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtZgRqQw2uI
