Am I the only one who thinks the motion sickness is something good? Like, "it feels so real that you get motion sickness" and that the new version feels less realistic. I hope I'm wrong though!

I'm pretty sure the motion sickness is caused by conflict between what you see and how your brain knows your head is moving.

Even a slight delay between your head moving and eyes seeing a reaction can cause nausea

Recently read a great working theory of motion sickness... when your brain can't reconcile your sense of "down" or motion via your ear and your body orientation with your vision's perception of down or motion, then your brain thinks one or the other is hallucinating because of something you ate, and that's why you have a nauseous reaction, to expel the poison.

The vertigo isn't because it feels so real, but because it doesn't, and your brain knows the difference.

The motion sickness is not just because it looks real, it's because of the small little mistakes, such as high persistence and latency.

Imagine that every time you move your head, the image not only takes time to appear, but also is a little blured.

It's kind of simmilar to being a little drunk, but sober, so the effect is really awkward.

I don't get motion sickness moving through the real world, do you? Should have that checked out. There for motion sickness in a virtual world does not seem more real.

[zemo]

it sounds like you haven't used an Oculus. There's nothing fun about VR sickness; it just makes you know that you're not really there.

Realism isn't always good. Thinking that motion sickness is good just because it's realistic is like thinking that the ultimate VR experience will cause debilitating pain whenever your in-game character gets shot. Some experiences are better left out.
