I am curious how they handle motion sickness, aka "vection" which we are so familiar with now because of VR. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC44032

The basic rule is... don't accelerate the camera, positionally or rotationally, basically ever. You can present constant velocity or rotation, but even then it's risky.
It takes a lot of discipline to not move the camera inappropriately in an environment like The Sphere. Hollywood people don't like to be told that the camera shouldn't pan, track, etc. But really, it shouldn't... unless you want a whole bunch of very uncomfortable, sad, sick people in the audience.
- block_dagger 2y agoThe Dead Forever show includes a moment of rotation that got me a bit queasy. It was kept to a minimum, but would have been nice if they avoided the camera motion.
- kkarakk 2y agoThey basically take you out of the sphere viewing area and put you in a room created for that purpose ie a blacked out soundproofed room with 2 chairs in it. source: my sis got overwhelmed by the sphere's antics and was escorted out to that room. it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on their website. sis said it was a very jank experience overall but it did calm her down.
