Ask HN: VR Sickness
3 by jeffrallen | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I just experienced severe VR sickness after only 3 scenes, less than a few minutes of exposure. I never have any other kinds of motion sickness, nor vertigo, so this was an unwelcome surprise! I read that 40-70% of people have symptoms after extended use. I couldn't find a figure for how many have an immediate reaction like me. I'm wondering... How can this technology possibly attract the kind of investment and attention it does, when it is apparently incompatible with human sensory input processing? Other studies show that the effects are much less for young people and much worse for women. Again, I was surprised to find this out, and I'm wondering what HN readers are thinking/doing about it.
