Not having used it - I would think of it like an omni-directional treadmill. Treadmills don't make me feel sick, why would this? Legitimate question.

- infogulch 10y agoThe sickness comes from the disconnect between what you see and what you feel. When you're running on a treadmill you see that you're standing (relatively) still, just moving your limbs. Your inner ear corroborates this when it doesn't feel any horizontal acceleration. Everything agrees; no sickness. In VR, you see that you were stopped and then the gun went off and you started running. But your inner ear disagrees: you're not accelerating at all, you're still standing still. Disconnect, sickness.

If their system actually works hopefully we'll see consumer implementations in the next couple of years.
