I wonder if becoming used to disagreement between the eye and inner ear in other situations transfers to easier adaptation to VR.
When I was little, I'd often attempt to read while in moving vehicles, which quickly and reliably brought on severe motion sickness. I can longer remember the last time that's happened. Cured by repeated exposure? Simply growing up? Maybe because of both at once, involving neuroplasticity somehow.
I've only experienced VR through brief tech demos, so I guess I'll get the datum when the time comes.
PS: A search for online anecdotes finds contradictory accounts from people reporting acquiring motion sickness in such situations as adults
- cstejerean 4y agoFor me it’s the opposite. When I was younger I had no problems reading in a moving vehicle. I can no longer do that without getting motion sick. Not sure what changed. Anecdotally it feels potentially related to caffeine intake or something else during the day. Because I noticed it tends to be fine in the morning and a problem in the afternoon. Or maybe it’s related to spending 8 hours a day staring at a screen for work.
