Clearly they need to understand how... much data they can manipulate at once

I'm honestly curious about the science behind why VR makes some people motion sick. My first time using VR I never got motion sick once and never have since then. And my sister on the other hand got motion sick instantly when she tried it.

Edit: Fixed my atrocious spelling, must've been high or something.

Are they just using shitty headsets, such as the Oculus ones? I've never had this issue with HTC Vive OR Valve Index...

I think it's more likely they made a game that was just poorly designed for VR, moving players when they don't expect it a lot and the like.

Uh Quest is better than the Vive 😅

Maybe I'm just old, but I never want to adopt VR, just like I never wanted to adopt 3-D Tvs.
