I have some serious sea legs and almost never get motion sickness. The fullscreen youtube vid got me. Great experiment.

I'm getting motion sickness just thinking about it. Haven't even watched yet.

  Do watch it, Great Experiment. Got Sick..

    For those who do suffer from motion sickness (like me), be aware that while the effect might not be severe (no vomit for me), the headache lingers quite a while (~30 min for me) after watching the video closely full-screen....... Still, a fun experiment.

Why on Earth you had to tell that? After reading your comment I had to go and check out video on my own... Will not do that anymore.

Same happened and I didn't even watch full screen. Maybe this is a way to test those sea bands that I have that I think generally work. But now I do have motion sickness and felt it almost right away.

The video did make me feel quite queasy, but it is not as bad as Descent [0]. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_(video_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_(video_game)

  Oh man, so many memories of giving motion sickness to my friends and parents watching me play Descent.

  I've never been a gamer. Except for Descent. And Descent II. I still have them and every few years play them on an old Mac. The queasiness kicks in every time I start playing them again.

    Oddly enough I had no problems with Descent / Descent II, but Doom and Doom II wrecked me. I think it may have been because Doom's camera bobbed as you moved to simulate taking steps but Descent's camera was smooth when you moved forward.

    You can grab the newest mods, linked from http://descentchampions.org/new_player.php http://descentchampions.org/new_player.php , and find games with other people just about every day.

  Not having heard of Descent, I was really hoping it was a game that consisted entirely of falling.

      Potentially looks like a grand vomitarium (and I am terrified of heights), thank you. I've noticed you can download it on the site posted, I'll have to give it a go.

It looks like they don't account for the rolling shutter on the camera.
