I wonder if, for those who experience it, the motion sickness would be as bad if running around on an omni-directional treadmill. While your body would be moving to match your avatar, your inner ear might still sense that you are stationary and cause you to feel nauseous.

My experience:

5 minutes with Occulus and a game pad resulted in about 10 minutes of mild nausea.

5 minutes with Occulus and Omni resulted in about 30 minutes of moderate but not debilitating nausea.

Complicating factors: tried the Omni test first, perhaps increasing my tolerance for the next test. Also used the lower resolution Occulus devkit with the Omni.

How does the omni control the game? Just curious.

It detects your forward walking motion and translates it to pressing forward on the keyboard (roughly).

How does turning work? I've been curious if I could build my own omni?
