How to get "VR Legs" (beat motion sickness)
1. Create reference of real space for your brain
-> Place a shower mat in the middle of the room so that your feet can feel it. This also helps to eventually turn Guardian off with amazing results on your immersion level.
-> Put a fan in a corner of the room and turn it on
-> Fake steps when you move forward/backward
-> In the first sessions prefer to turn your head and move only forward or backward. Avoid strafing movements to start.
2. Do not (NEVER) play if you are hungry or have a headache. Even after, being hungry is a no go.
3. Stop playing whenever you START feeling sickness. DO NOT try to get over it. Stop 15-30 minutes immediately. You can continue your game after.
After a few sessions you will be able to stay immersed for a long time if not an unlimited time!
I tried sitting on a gym ball and moving to simulate the movement in game and kept a bottle of ginger ale on standby. weirdly while playing a space sim telling myself you're in space of course you'll feel strange helped a bit.
The fan is huge, and what helped me overcome VR sickness. It made me able to play longer and eventually I didn't need it. And yes, minimize strafing, only move forward on the stick and turn your head (or use snap turning if you must) to reorient. Third point is also key, as soon as you start to feel it, you take the headset off and wait. I would personally say 30 minutes is the minimum but yeah. Fake steps made me feel worse fwiw.

Can definitely confirm it's not wise to just try and push through...had 36 hours of nausea after I tried that.
I think the central theme of what works for most people is regular small doses and increasing as able, much like lifting weights.
The fake steps made me feel worse too, I have seen that I got motion sickness whenever I lean my real legs while walking on the game. Anyway the other tips are great.
I've found that after hours of playing in VR you simply get more and more used to it over time and the VR sickness lessens on its own, at least in my experience. And on the other hand, if I take a long break from VR gaming for weeks, I kinda have to rebuild that tolerance again, but it returns quicker than when I first started playing VR.
same for me... took some weeks playing mostly staionary games or using teleportation though... also when i started to get used to walking in vr. climbing was still the worst also weightless games like lone echo. wrecked me hard. i'm just happy i never gave up.
Same. I have also become more sensitive over time to my level of tolerance. I can feel it slowly building before the nausea starts, and so stop more gracefully when it's only a faint feeling of pressure or extra warmth. If I don't play VR at all for a long while, I might only last an hour or two when I used to be able to play for several hours without issue.
I completely agree with this, I'm a VR developer and when I first started using the Quest 2 I would get mega sickness. What I did is in my first week of getting it I just tried playing VR games as much as possible and eventually you will get used to it. I feel like back in the day when vehicles were first invented, the people of that time had a similar experience. My other antidote is smoking weed before you use it 😂 but kids don't do drugs
Remember that comfort impacts the duration and tolerance. Bad headstrap and too much pressure on the face plate can cause you to get sick faster, especially once you get sweaty since sweating is an indicator.
@@dra6o0n I hadn't really thought of that but that's good to know and keep in mind
A technique that I've used to help with motion sickness is to move my body in some kind of accordance with the movements I'm making in game. So when I walk, I take a half step forward and lean into it. I'll take a half step back if moving backwards. When turning, I'll turn my head in the same direction a little bit. These really help keep me from getting too bad. I still get the unpleasant sensations, however.

It's been 6 months since you have made this comment did you ever beat your vr sickness?
@@Cushionion I've been so busy, I haven't been able to play nearly as much as I'd like to. When I play a lot, I tend to get more comfortable, but I can't say that I ever get completely comfortable.
That's also what I tried after getting a watery mouth
I pretend to run and move when doing movement
This is what worked wonders for me; Leaning forward and marching in place. It might look really dumb for someone watching you, but it feels amazing. And after a while I don’t even need to march in place anymore. After 2 weeks I can comfortably play Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR and HL Alyx. Which were the reasons I bought VR in the first place!!
I use an office chair so I can turn, and then I use something called "KatLoco" that strap on your ankles to simulate walking.
i am 68 years old, have heart problems as well as a psychotic lifelong fear of heights.
I was leery about VR but I figured what the hell, I started out with tame roller coasters with the firm mindset that this is not real, I am in control. I have since moved on to flying sims and the whole motion concerns and height phobias are gone. Again I think it's the knowledge that I am in total charge.
Barrel rolls, loops and flying upside down is just so damn much fun and unbelievably relaxing.
Great anecdote! Enjoy your VR kit!😁
Good video with some great advice, I'd also recommend that new users STOP AS SOON AS they start to feel sick. Don't power through, you just teach yourself to be sick in VR if you do.
Confirmed. Stop even for a moment, any time you feel that little twinge of icky. Stop and reacclimate. You will only make yourself sicker if you try to power through feeling sick.
Getting my VR legs was sooo draining. It was about 5 days of barely moving inside games, gradually incrementing movement, while heavy breathing until I had to lie down for some hours... then all of a sudden, no nausea anymore... literally in the 5th day of pushing through as much as I could, its like my brain finally said "ok ok!... go crazy".
Definitely worth it imo :)
I remember this too. It was like one day my brain suddenly made the necessary modifications to its v1.0 firmware
I try to mimic the moves as best I can. One of the big "oh, that was weird" things I had was jumping. So now I add a little hop when I jump or fall in game as it helps.
Ive found that jogging in place when moving my character has helped me a TON. I convince my brain that I'm actually walking, and the feeling goes away. It does make VR more of a workout, which i guess isnt a bad thing lol
I've suffered from motion sickness my whole life. I literally can't ride in the passenger seat of a car without dramamine. I thought surely I could never play VR and I started with Blade and Sorcery, felt sick at first, had to take it slow but less than a year in I'm running all over the place, jumping, doing shit I was sure I could never do in all kinds of games. It can be overcome!
Omg.. thats good to hear.. i have such bad motion sickness i can’t even watch some movies.. and can’t play a lot of games so i can’t even attempt vr.. but this is hope!
Moving in place helped me ALSO a tip i dont see mentioned like ever but strangely worked for me--I put half full water bottles in my pockets. That, plus the faux movement in place, really seems to trick my brain into thinking im actually moving.
I also have one of those "eye puffiness" reducers that are like a sleep mask with fluid inside that youre supposed to freeze. If you dont freeze it it's just loose liquid. I sometimes wear that across my forhead for some additional fake motion to help my brain.
I bought Blades and sorcery. I played the game for like 1,5 hour and when I finally ended my VR session and took it off my face, I was feeling so sick + my brain was so confused. I spend like 5 minutes looking at my arms. They were so surrealistic. The sickness moved away after like 20 minutes, but what was really unpleasent was the overall confusion about reality. Thats how I imagine Benadryl overdose, not freaking VR experience xD I will try the ginger next time.
I had a similar feeling when I first started using VR. After using it ...some things still looked like they were in VR ...but IRL...like my brain was making shit on my flat screen almost look 3D. Shit was weird AF. It eventually went away with the motion sickness.
@jcaashby3 why do drugs, just play VR/AR
I felt that way at first years ago looking at phone thinking my hands were in VR 😂
@@BirdmanVeganFuture LMAO I did forget about the hands as well. Very strange thing I did not expect. I did expect the motion sickness. But seeing things looking like I was still in VR was a trip!
Standing is better than sitting. And moving while standing helps too. Also, a cooler environment helps. I flip a fan on sometimes.
These are the things that get me through the tougher smooth locomotion games.
I only stand for golf or bowling games,I sit for the rest of the 268 quest games I’ve got (and the dozen or so psvr2 games I have)
What helped me was Walking on Point wile Walking in game
Yeah I just walk in place while I move, it helps a ton
I just brute-forced myself past motion sickness. I kept running around as fast as I could in whichever game I was playing, think it was mainly Saints and Sinners. After a while your brain gets past the idea of it. Do what you feel is best, ultimately it will take time to get used to anything. I have been playing VR for like three years now, probably took a few months to completely get over any sickness.
How many times did you puke with this glorious method?
This looks like i could have written it, this is exactly what i did and how it worked out for me too. I just pulled through, disabling every comfort setting i could find for any game with rotation speed on max setting.😆 Minor difference is that i started earlier with VR, six years ago now
Sounds like me I'm a stubborn determined guy pain is not a problem that stops me muhahaha 😂
As someone who works with VR professionally, I can say that the best medicine is exposure.
yup, best way to learn how to swim is to throw one into deep water :D PRO tip
i've found that putting a fan in front of me helps a lot. i think the air flow helps trick your brain into thinking youre moving forward.
Man as i was watching this i thought this Video has somthing about 100000 Klicks you are good man keep it up
When I started Scuba diving, to prevent boat sickness I was told to use Ginger. And it always work for me. A lot of Scuba divers use Vicks vapor around their belly button along with taking Ginger orally. Good video, thanks.😊
Makes me feel really different when I first stepped into VR, I never had any motion sickness and was able to play for hours when I first put the headset on. I hope everyone who does experience motion sickness can enjoy their time in VR and really gets to have their breath taken away by what they can see and do inside their headsets!
Same! I never really felt motion sickness while playing VR
I remember getting vr sickness. I don't know if your explanation is accurate. But it definitely conveys they feeling. It's more like food sickness than motion sickness.
i got a light case of vr sickness when i first started playing with it. luckily my brain adapted quickly to it.
i believe if you want to stop feeling sick you got to get yourself antiquated to vr in steps, and once your done with those baby steps you can play in small increments until you are comfortable.
Have a fan pointing at your chest area,it has two beneficial effects,1-it really does stop the sickness and 2-it keeps you cooler in active games,this worked for me way back when psvr1 came out,since then I’ve also bought quest 2,pico 4,psvr2 and quest 3,I can play for ten hours plus on days when I’m not at work with almost no motion sickness( I do still feel a little strange when falling from great heights,like when you go over a crest in a car)
I just bought my Quest 3 yesterday. I was NOT ready for the queeziness I experienced trying to walk around in a VR game for the first time. Videos like this help A LOT! TYVM.
Take it slow and give yourself plenty of patience, usually in the form of frequent breaks. Even if you are a gamer with many games under your belt, VR is a whole new experience for our ancient body design. We aren't used to seeing movements where our inner ears don't confirm what we see, and our ancient brains haven't caught up. This video mentions that it could be your body thinking it has been poisoned. I happen to think it is just a default reaction because our brains do not have a subroutine for "eyes and inner ear motion detection mismatch"
I've heard that the main thing is if you're playing a game where you might get sick, stop before you even start to feel sick. If you play too long and get motion sickness, it makes it worse the next time you play. It's about playing a bunch without getting sick, and eventually you'll be able to go longer and longer without feeling queasy
That's easy to say but I get nausea within a second of moving with the analog stick. There is no before.
Teleport, snap turning and ginger are a must.
I came back to VR after about half a year. On of the first things I hopped into was NoLimits 2, a roller coaster simulator. I think hopping into the deep end helped me out.
I use a office chair with a pedestal base. That way I can actually turn in the chair instead of with the joystick. The pedestal base keeps the chair from moving or my feet from hitting the wheels. It helps a LOT. I also sometimes use KatLoco from KATVR along with the chair. It's like a poor man's slide-mill.
I just turned off all the safety features and got over it with resident evil 4 vr on quest 2 . Worked like a charm , took almost 2 weeks to get over it but I did
I would imagine its like getting punched, hurts the first time. But the more fights you get into the more your body conditions itself to take it.
@@Fck_the_atf yes !😅
Walking in place when playing Skyrim helped me tons in the beginning.
I tried the relief band. Seemed gimmicky and they are not a super cheap solution but it made a world of difference for me. I went from 15 minutes till I was sick to about an hour which works for me as I don't really do longer VR sessions. I have found that my tolerance without the band is going up as well so experience helps too.
what fixed it for me is using a small fan either around your neck or placed near by your play area.
the breeze helps trick your brain further when theres movement. Also, walking in place and mirroring on-screen movements helps too.
I'm new to VR and haven't had too much motion sickness, but I watched a 360 video of a rollercoaster and it made me super sick.
Having a fan on you tends to help me with it
I got use to it by just walking around back and forth in the lobby in Contractors, taking it off for a breather every few minutes. Took maybe 20 min or so but no more sickness!!
Snap and teleportation always makes me have bad motion sickness, but I learned smooth turning I don't and the smother and faster I can turn the less likely I get motion sickness. Head move/look movement also helps
thanks for the info.
I only played No man's sky Vr for about a week now. I set movement and turning to smooth and every time I moved in game, I moved my feet as if I were walking (I play sitting down). This reduced nausea for about 75%. When I turn, I always turn my head, as wel as the control stick (slowly). I also turned on head Bob, and body visibility. After about 3 play sessions I no longer have to move my feet while walking in game, and I can turn a bit faster. I stopped getting nauseated after about 3 play sessions. I also kept the session around 30 minutes, and then took a break. Now I can play for 2 hours without any nausea.
I usually just put a fan infront of me so it makes my body think im moving
amazing im gonna try this when I do my 15 min a day
I got used to "slide" playing In Death Unchained. The main movement mechanic in that game is teleporting throwing an arrow, but you can combine it with continuous movement using the stick. It is very usefull because you can move once in a while using the stick to get use to it without ruining your game experience.
I found easing my playing worked best. Start off with maybe 20 minutes and everyday I was able to play more.
I keep hearing about this. I'm pretty new to VR, but I've never experienced this. Not sure why but it's never been a problem for me. Most I've had is a bit of a headache, and I will play for hours in my racing sim setup.
I've been watching some videos about the CyberShoes that allow you to sit and walk with your feet with the rollers on the shoes in a swivel chair. So far for the people who get severe motion sickness when trying to move smoothly in games they say it works great. Kinda costly but with VR games expanding to more open world like environments I think I may have to invest in them and see if it helps.
I got my "VR legs" years ago, and now I turn on smooth locomotion and smooth turning right at the start of a new game, and I don't like the "comfort tunnel" effect, so that gets switched off. However, like most people, I did get VR sickness when I got my first VR headset, and I would do something very similar to your suggestion, which was to spend just a little time each day sliding/smooth moving through a VR environment. My app of choice at the time was Google Earth VR, and I began by sliding through the environment while seated, and once I was mostly comfortable with that, I would switch to standing. It's all a gradual process, but now I zoom through VR shooters and everything else without any ill effects at all.
I stop whenever I feel cold sweats(probably like 10min of sliding around but I never throw up or anything,I just get uncomfortable
If u dont stop i am sure you will throw up my friend.😊
i also stop befor i throw up, but trying every day a bit until i feel sick seems to make it easier.
@@oOLTMOo some games persist i am afraid it wont pass but games like moss not giving me nausea..gran turismo mild and horiz forb west extreme nausea.
For some reason I just didn’t have this. I’m convinced it has something to do with exposure to screens and tech growing up. I tried it with my son and he’s able to separate reality and what’s on the headset to a level that many adults can’t do. But he’s also had a lot of exposure and he’s familiar with screens and tech in general.
Very good explanation. I solved it by kinda moving my body.
I stand I with one feet forward, and the other behind (kinda standing sideways) and flex your knees (obviously). When walking I either move my harms or move my body, kinda up and down or rock back and forth.
Also your brain gets more used to it over time
Floor mat in the middle of your play space and a fan blowing in my face did the trick for me.
It's been about 2 week since I got my first ever vr headset. On day 5 I was getting to the point where I could play for a full hour without getting motion sickness. Currently right now where I am at.....I can stay in vr until it needs to be charged. If I charged it while playing I think I could stay in vr for about 2 1/2 to maybe 3 hours max before I get motion sickness.
I don't need ginger ale or anything like that at all for motion sickness. I use tricks like moving my body in real life as best as I can to match my movements in vr....that alone you feel a huge difference in comfortability while playing for your first few times I guarantee it!
im glad that im ok with motion sickness i have vr for 2 days and i already play boneworks,blade and sorcery or H3VR without any motion sickness ofc i get little bit dizzy but it is after like 2hr of playing.
Bonelab eats me alive and I am not even a person that gets motion sickness
I think the "lying" is the most important part, but I would describe it very differently. I believe it's about anxiety. The first time you experience motion sickness it will be because you haven't experienced vr before. After that, it's the anticipation of becoming sick and that is the self fulfilling prophecy. Every time you get anxious, you reinforce the subconscious "I'm sick" response.
When I stand in vr I feel the weight of my arms, my body. I may be flipping around in Jet Island, but I know I'm grounded, I know where real ground is. When I don't know which way the virtual ground is anymore, when I've lost my virtual orientation, I feel my body. If you want to take a step further you can even just close your eyes.
Separate your eyes from your sense of balance and find that center. Find the peace. When vr takes your eyes for a spin, let go and stop caring about that feedback. That anxiety goes "but I can't keep up, where is everything?" , but that's the response to dull, let it go and find yourself again. When you're calm you can pick out the rotations by gauging how frequently a particular landmark flashes across your vision and can judge your orientation, rotation direction and speed. You can even look for the poles of your rotation by finding the two points opposite of eachother that stay in place and rotate on the spot.
Your eyes aren't your real balance, decouple that from your ears, just like how eye convergence and focal depth are decoupled.
I would suggest finding some way to get vr spinning, for example getting in a car and doing donuts, and just relax. Look past what the headset is showing you and just feel your body do nothing, anything your eyes pick up at this time should be let go of
Using a fan pointed to you (outside your playspace) helps with motion sickness cuz it gives an anchor of the real world that you can orientat off of
Another thing that helps is dramamine, which is an over the counter medication that combats sea sickness. It's very similar to VR sickness, and I take some an hour or so before I start a game like VRChat
How long u typically play vr for without break?
chewing gum is like god mode for loading the nauseaa bar
(credits to quaz)
Great video. Ginger makes all the difference for most days.
And definitely don’t start with Boneworks. That’s like the final final boss of VR sickness.
The game basically have a motto of “If you vomit in the void way you vomit in real life!”
Definitely getting your feet wet is the best way for me. Every time I return to vr I can only muster an hour or so before I start feeling sick, but play vr games a few days in a row and I can stretch that to several hours, and that's all I really need, I don't like spending too much time with my headset strapped to me, especially if I'm sweating in the summer.
The big thing for me is to take the games where movement is based on your hand movements, move things around, and really take some time to consider what is happening: you are moving the world as if it is on a panel in front of you. Once you understand that this is ALWAYS what is happening, it's much easier for your brain to keep that thought when the world is moving past you even when you're not the one moving it.
I know this is going to sound dumb, but when I first tried VR in general, I was taking drugs often. Namely LSD and weed. I believe it helped me a lot with this issue, as bad as it may be.
Gonna beat it out my body! Barf till I run dry. Losing some pounds along. Thanks for the tips. I guess I will try some games first where you're sitting in-game (Gran Turismo, No Man's Sky, Kayak VR) and keep it slow and steady.
drums rock is really fun if you grew up in the guitar hero/rockband Era. no moving at all, fairly cheap, and really fun
put a desk fan next to you honestly it works i played for 6 hours straight before i had such a headache it lasted for a few days do take breaks as well its different from playing a normal video game on a normal video game your sat down on a sofa or gaming chair and a good distance from the screen and not really moving. but in VR your body is moving standing your burning calories your body is going to get really tired and you will feel unwell if you dont take breaks when playing.
I found having a fan blow on you helps.
i had this sickness after going in a elevator in alyx , crazy stuff
Ginger ale works to mitigate especially the linger after effects of returning to the real world. Truth be told after using the Vive since 2016 I have never gotten over feeling ill while sliding around. Cockpits are okay as long as you still have 6dof of movement. 3dof isn't enough (which some games have). In each game, simply playing through the discomfort helps overcome it to such an extent that it's enjoyable for a half hour at a time. Beyond that, the cumulative discomfort says it's time to stop. Sadly, it takes time accustoming my brain to each game separately. With enough effort and using it every day, the symptoms reduce considerably but for me never truly have disappeared. Now, teleporting or something very well designed for VR like HL Alyx, no sickness whatsoever. Can play for hours. It's the movement without inertia that is the culprit for me.
Might I recommend Richie's plank experience, a game where you don't get the vr sickness as bad because you actually have to move in the physical world. It's perfect for vr newcomers 😈
Exho vr was instant hell for me.
This video is perfect for my dad XD
The Giner thing was probably just a placibo casue by the fact that Ginger is just generally soothing to the stomic in general and you brain just made the connection based on the soothing alone.
Just like how Sprite doesn't really hlep with upset stomic but people swear by it anyway... even my self, knowing it shouldn't do anything will still drink a sprite and swear I feel better afterwards.
I ended up getting a small minuscule amount of it. Played through maybe a quarter of Alyx before it started setting in. Played literally the entire day and my brain adapted really quick. By the next day, I was able to play it with no sickness. Now I'm flying jets and pulling manuvers that would've made me sick
also, put a fan in front of you while wearing the vr headset helps out alot...
Anything with a cockpit of sorts is usually much easier to deal with imo.
Which makes perfect sense because IRL you would simply be sitting still anyways.
I got the original oculus dev kit back in the day (total stupid decision in hindsight ,but was desperate to try it) and it made me VIOLENTLY ill to the point I was so depressed thinking I’ll never be able to experience VR, and not my dream of fast FPS. Well then was then, low frame rates, no positional tracking, crap resolution - skip forward a decade and I’m flying around in Quake with no bother at all.
Not sure if it’s just VR legs, or the technology is so much better. Think it’s mostly the latter tbh.
games where you either float or aren't touching the ground make me way more motionsick than games where you just walk around on the ground.
and If you really wanna beat vr sickness just do what everybody else does and just play a lot, in your first two or three sessions you'll get motion sick after 15 minutes, but the more you play the longer it'll take for you to get motion sick and after a while you wont ever get motion sick
well i tried my vr few days ago and didn't really had any motion sickness maybe because i never had one in the first place and it was a good experience actually if it wasn't a present for christmas then i would probably play it non stop (until battery in quest 3 run out because i don't have any battery packs or something like that yet)
and if someone would ask i was "testing if it wasn't broken" and this almost 3 hour test in boneworks was enough to make sure it works correclty
A trick that works for me if i do feel it comming is Closing one eye. Tho i never had big issues whit it after 15k hrs in vr, its helped me and many of my friends. But if you all ready feel like your sick its to late. It works best when you feel it building up.
I’d like to try the “snowboard method” in phasmophobia though the sliding movement looks like it’s in 20hz and it’s awful …will def try out the ginger thing tho thanks 😁
first time i got vr back on PSVR gen 1 i was concerned about motion sickness because i can get car sick if im not driving. so i tried skyrim and a few other games and while i did feel the woozieness and my mind would roll over on itself when strafing, i didnt get truely sick. so being the highly inteligent smart guy i am, i actively tried to get myself motion sick, you know to test my limits to see if ill be ok.
i tried all sorts of things with no real issues until i played a racing game that the resolution was PS2 levels and i was fine going forward (which im glad cause i love racing games). i got the fun idea to drive backward on the track. no real issue, i looked sideways and i was a little weirded out but not bad. then i rappidly would go forward them backward repeatedly over and over and everything was sliding at high speed in low resolution. i got sooooooo sick and dizzy. you aint kidding either, car sickness lasts a few minutes, i was sick from the VR for about 6 hours, maybe longer but i went to try and sleep it off lol.
so im perfectly ok with normal vr as long as i dont rapidly switch between forward and back movement while looking sideways. when the game is highly engaging i dont notice the standard twang in my stomach and probably motion sickness pills would handle that,
its basically like sea legs on boats. takes about two weeks for your brain to adjust to vr. try something like halflife alyx with teleport movement to get yourself use to it. after a while its no problem. then you can leap around like a crazy person in blade and sorcery(you WONT be able to play it till you get your vr legs. trust me. Barf city)
The easiest method i found is to walk on place even when using smooth locomotion, it'll trick your brain and make you do some sport
I used a Fan and it helpt to feel some wind.
I found that if I have my feet touching something familiar (like the edge of a carpet) and a fan blowing solved it almost instantly for me.
Another way to fully overcome it is to subject yourself to it over and over. It took me about a week to fully overcome it. I still have to snap turn though
then you are not fully overcoming it lol
Turn IRL instead of via thumb stick. Less motion sickness and better immersion.
Ramp up the turning speed for every game to very high and you won't be needing snap turn anymore in no-time! That was the problem for me too at first, then i found out that when turning goes really fast the motion is already over before any discomfort can occur. I can play anything in VR ignoring the comfort settings completely
@@papineau4518🤣
Only time I get vr sickness is when I go really fast and do intense turns and maneuvers (imagine going about 200 mph while doing a barrel roll 8 times per second and going up and down at like 40 feet per second mid air in a golf cart)
I got my VR legs before I bought my VR ready PC. I used to play steamvr on a laptop with a 1650 ti and settings turned up way too high. I got like 10 fps and it was horrible, but I wanted to play so much I just tried to blank out and keep going. After that, with my 3070 ti everything moved so smooth and I never got motion sick again, except when I tried a flight sim, VTOL VR, which I've also gotten rid of motion sickness.
At the beginning of my VR experiences, games like minecraft, with smooth locomotion were unplayalable. Totally. I feel sick every time I move forward. So I played Resident Evil 4 and Half-Life Alyx with teleport, I beat some times the game fully, especially RE4. Then I discovered by accident, after some months, that I was NO more affected from motion sickness. So replayed Half Life and Resident evil 4 with smooth locomotion and was great, really better. I think the key is just play with teleport and stationary games first, and the sickness will go away by itself.
I may be odd, but if I feel sick or dizzy, I just look down where the nose hole is in the headset and see the ground to regain balance.
I have terrible motion sickness to the point i cant even ride passenger in a car, but im a telling you that there are these wrist bands that go around your arms that for some reason remove all forms of motion sickness. IDK who makes them or what they are called, but they where purchased in a harbor store for a last minute buy before I went on a boat because forgot that I get motion sickness. Those things have stopped me from taking meds for my motion sickness on everything! Ammusment parks, Airplanes, and even VR gaming!!! Someone please find these things and spread the word. They are blue bands with a white plastic piece that pushes into your arm. Hope I can help someone make life so much easier!!!!!
Looks like CVS Pharmacy has such a band, called "Morning & Motion Sickness Band".
When I first played Dirt Rally and realized I had to tilt my head up or down when I drive up or down a hill, that was really disorienting at first.
Later I came back to it and got used to it and had a great time with the VR.
Then I enabled head orientation locked to car and figured out why I had to tilt my head up or down on hills before. With head orientation locked to car, every little bump moved the viewpoint and seriously made me uncomfortable. I won't ever do that again.
Dirt Rally 2 was the first PCVR game I played ...apparently it is not the best game to try out VR starting out lol. On the test track I was fine since it is OPEN. But once I went on a stage....4 turns in....I had to turn it off. Almost puked!!
Months later I am good...I take ginger pills and gradually built up to playing more and more. Now I can race longer...every now and then I get a slight nausea feeling but it comes and goes fast.
make sure you retaining a consistent frame rate. A lot of vr sickness comes from subtle frame instability. so make sure your system meats and beats the recommended specs for your game.
i dont have a vr headset yet but plan to get one soon.. when playing roomscale games do people get motion sickness?
and what are some game recommendations for room scale. i wanna be able to walk around i keep seeing people playing rooted in one spot..
Minecraft VR made me feel so sick back when I had the Rift. This time I'm going to train my VR-Legs
I get HORRIBLE VR sickness. But, I love teleporting. I wish that there was a list of all of the games with teleportation in the game.
I've never experienced motion sickness but I also smoke thc while playing so give it a try for a simple fix
For me it was actually fun feeling, when playing flying car game.
How long were you on skateboard while playing vr?
Idk why but, I got motion sickness when I play a game with some sort of small FOV thing on. Skyrim's FOV thing made me puke in the first few minutes of playing the game. When I finally figured out how to turn it off, I could play it jumping around no problem. Pretty ironic to me, I guess its just me though; I have not find this problem online yet.
Motion sickness pills worked amazingly well for me too
i just played vr and got nausea until i got used to it and didnt get anymore
I got hardcore VR sickness playing on my friend index. I got a quest 2, 2 years later and i still get it but it kinda sneaks up on me it's not instant. Only change between then and now Is I took up bike riding so I wonder if the gliding on the bike helps my brain cope.
