This is honestly the first I've ever heard about motion sickness for gamers. very weird

My advice would be to man up. Hope that helps

My friend gets it on all FPS games so he doesn't play them at all anymore.

So if you do find a cure let me know as I am sure he will appreciate it

Yeah Amiga motion sickness has been a problem with VR for a quite a bit but as far as Im aware they have fixed it..... cant remember the source i got it from but im sure they have developed a piece for your nose that stops it. I think its to do with the chemicals that sort your balance out when you cant see and hear.. ie your brain knows what the eyes and ears are doin but the nose messes things up apparantly ... or something like that. But yeah from what i heard a nose pice thing is supposed to fix motion sickness on VR. Anyone else aware of this ?

Yeah heard of that del boy, it's supposed to give you a reference point and like you said works (to a point) it isn't really a solution for VR as having something to focus on (even peripherally) in a game isn't the best solution.

The major thing in VR is framerate and refresh rate, both these have to be kept at certain levels and are mandated by Sony for any software that is created for PSVR.

That is enough for most, but solving it is a lot more complex than a peripheral nose, simply moving in VR can cause problems for some people, having said that as it stands PSVR has been very comfortable for users.

depends what the game is, but it would be very easy to induce nausea in VR (even in the hardiest of souls) if certain rules aren't followed.

If any of you are wondering just how powerful VR can be check out these you tube vids

For those interested this is the nose thing Delboy is on about, haven't seen it as an option in any of the PSVR games though.

Just found out that motion sickness in gaming is called simulation sickness , also got a video link below for help with some whom suffer from this.

Interesting video Hitler, I couldn't help but notice a hole in their research, one leg up and the other one down wasn't one of their recommendations
