- rndn 11y agoPerhaps one could gradually dissolve the nose over the first X hours of playing without causing sickness.
- ciex 11y agoYour real nose always covers some part of your visual field, still it doesn't bother you, because your brain removes certain stimuli that persist over a long period of time.
- jonmrodriguez 11y agoHaha maybe it's just me, but I actually dislike having my real-life nose block part of my view.
- plorkyeran 11y agoExcept for when someone reminds me that I can see my nose, and suddenly my brain stops filtering it out for a while.
- Gounemond 11y agoDon't be tricked by that "area". I admit I haven't tried it but, from my experience with the Oculus, you will barely able to see that nose (unless you actually try to look at it, like you would in real life). That area is mainly in the peripheral vision.
- appleflaxen 11y agoI agree with you. The impact of these findings is greatly overstated by the headline, and you make an excellent suggestion regarding a competing explanation about why it might help. Next study: repeat the study using a "nose" in the outside, or of varying sizes, and see if it helps. This research is interesting, but it's not front-page interesting.
