It s an interesting idea but about the worst situation i can think of. Not only will i be sweating, i 'll be vigorously moving , exacerbating any vestibular reflexes, shifting the headset on my head, and risking getting injured. I think anything that requires too much physical interaction is a bad candidate for VR. My idea of VR is that it amplifies any minute movement of my fingers magically. That feels empowering
- Ajedi32 7y agoThere are already a lot of great games in VR that make you sweat. It's actually not bad at all. Sweat is easily dealt with if you purchase a washable faceplate cover, and there are no simulator sickness issues created by moving around physically with a 6DoF headset, since the view in-game perfectly mirrors your movement in the real world. The headset can shift around slightly on your head, but I've found that's only really an issue if you turn your head complete upside down. Aside from that, slight shifts are barely noticeable provided the headset is strapped on correctly. I do agree that actually using gym equipment in VR would be rather difficult to do safely, unless the equipment itself was actually tracked and displayed in-game.
