It's all about the software. I've been developing DK2 based experiences for trade shows and have seen thousands of people try VR for the first time. Perhaps 1 in 100 suffer from simulation sickness, but this highly depends on the application. E.g. One of my first prototypes made everyone that tried it very sick - including myself (this due to a single camera movement mid-experience - flying over a rail & then spiralling up a staircase).
Unfortunately, beyond the scarce info on the subject of sim-sickness - my experience has been derived completely from trial & error.
I'd like to see more specific information shared on the subject of simulation sickness.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoI felt somewhat sick watching a let's play of the half-life 2 bridge level. No difficulty with VR there; that problem is simply the accurate depiction of incredibly unsafe movement through an incredibly unsafe environment. It makes for an interesting conflict with the desire to provide an "extreme" experience, I think.
- LCDninja 10y agoWell put! - in my line of work it's a conflict between producing something impresses the majority, while at the same time prevents the minority from vomiting on the gear (touch-wood, hasn't happened yet).
- goldenkey 10y agoSickness and vertigo isn't always met with vomit. I encourage you to seek out another metric that respects the delicacy of the headspace of even those with iron stomachs. (I personally get headaches but no nausea effects..)
