Was playing with it - it's great. I was flying around the towns I know, but I'm reminded of the places that I need to go when I get a chance: Golden Gate Brid

It looks very nausea inducing, even the video gave me a little bit of an issue. Did you experience any of that?

  I loved the app but I did feel a bit sick, even with their comfort mode turned on (which I really appreciate that they added). Probably won't go as wild with the flying next time but overall it was still a great experience. I should mention that I'm very perceptible to simulator sickness, even after using VR for over an hour every day for the past 2 years.

    I don't have a headset yet and this is my biggest fear before investing in one. I'm quite prone to motion sickness in games. Can you share any tips for using a VR headset without puking?

      It really depends on the controls used for moving. I am quite sensitive too, even slow movements in VR give me nausea when I am not moving. But games that use teleportation for moving like The Lab are absolutely not nausea-inducing for me. Walking arnoud in room scale is also not a problem at all. A Vive with room scale is probably the best option at the moment for someone sensible to motion sickness. The funny thing about Google Earth is that even though you can "fly" over the map, it is coupled with a pulling motion with the hand controllers. My brain seems to interpret this hand motion coupled with the displacement as me pulling the landscape to me instead of me flying over the landscape. Because of this, I had absolutely no motion sickness at all in Google Earth. It is a motion scheme that I have seen in no other VR app and for me it is a very interesting achievement of the software.

  I just spent 20 minutes in it and the controls are well done. I had no nausea issues. I hope it is loading the models to local cache so that on repeat viewings I wont have the texture lag. Pretty impressive though.

  By default it has some comfort options enabled. Basically it blanks out a good portion of your peripheral vision which keeps you from getting sick. Honestly it's one of the best examples of non-nausea inducing locomotion yet.

Highly recommend Yosemite. When you go, don't miss the vernal/Nevada falls hike!
