Skeuomorphism is the wrong word for what you are criticizing, I think.
You are talking about an simulated non-physical world that makes no semse at best and I'm certain that it is just a nausea and disorientation simulator for almost every single user if I understand your thoughts correctly. The thing with VR is that it messes with expectations about the physical world that people process subconsciously. Break them ever so so slightly and people react involuntarily to it. There is
no consciously controllable component to getting uncomfortable in VR.
- itsyaboi 7y agoJust wanting to point out, "...nausea and disorientation simulator for almost every single user" is quite the exaggeration. I have demo'd the Vive at several schools, businesses, among friends/family, and a significant portion of people had no problems with flying or "sliding" control schemes. One curious personal observation: out of the ~10 Asian coworkers who tried the Vive, all experienced some degree of motion sickness related discomfort.
- gmueckl 7y agoThe people I showed the Vive to all had issues, so our experiences seem to be entirely different. How long did they use the headset on average?
