This doesn’t mean straight to VR, but walking, or very specifically jogging outdoors has been known to provide relief, often temporarily but any relief is better than no relief. What I can tell you is what I experienced with MDdS as helpful. Hopefully, some day in the near future, the medical community will be able to figure out this trouble and fix it. The good news is that some research using VR has been undergoing testing to treat MDdS, and from what I have seen has been somewhat promising. I can’t tell you if MDdS can also be caused by prolonged VR experiences, and I’m not sure anyone has really looked at it. With VR being so new, and the typical culprits of motion and sight being reversed, I’m not sure a lot of research has been performed in this area. This actually has a name, although it’s not very widely treated… it is known as disembarkation syndrome (MDdS). Even for post cruise passengers, the unlucky few that experience this for months, or sometimes years, there is also no known cure. As far as I have read, why some people have this trouble and others don’t is unknown. Now unfortunately… some people have trouble reworking that balance system when they return to land and they continue to experience the dizzy, rocking sensation. When people say that someone gets their sea legs, this is because the brain’s balance system is actually pretty good at getting used to these corrective procedures and it begins to compensate for the motion. It creates a very odd sensation that is your brain noticing that discrepancy. The closest I’ve come to this sensation in real life is when you are in a parked car and the car next to you starts moving. your brain receives conflicting messages and gives you the sensation of being nauseated and dizzy.įor VR sickness, it’s actually the other way around, you are seeing that you are moving, but your body is saying you aren’t. This data is reconciled in your brain, if you see you are moving and you feel you are moving, then everything checks out and you usually don’t feel sick.įor motion sickness, this usually happens if you are moving but you are not seeing where you are going, say as a passenger in a car, or even worse, on a ship. Essentially, you have two body data streams that determine if you are in motion, your eyes, and your inner ear. VR sickness is real! It’s similar to motion sickness but it’s not quite the same. I’m not a medical professional, so please, take my post with a grain of salt… these are experiences I’ve observed in myself and others around me. Hey this is actually a really interesting topic. Now it's looking like i can handle 40 mins at a time and it is slowly unlocking a lot of games! Basically: take it slow, listen to your body, fall back to 1 to 1 movement games like eleven tennis and walkabout mini golf etc In comparison first time I just jumped into rogue squadron to try VR i felt motion sick in 5 minutes. Then I tried iss game yesterday and was surprised I was pretty comfortable. Having a cockpit that is stationary helps a little bit in rogue squadron to keep you grounded. Only recently I started slowly trying half life Alyx with thumb stick movement and then rogue squadron. For me I started with games where I move in the real world to move in the game world like beat saber or where you teleport to move around like raw data. Any game where you move around VR space without moving in the real world needs to be approached with caution, with slow play sessions and with very gradual movement to start. They need to remove that thing from being always so recommended in the app. Rollercoaster app sounds like a very bad starting point. I hope no one else has to go through this and warn not to play through the signs, take a break and try again at a later time. I’m about 50% better since the first day, I’ve never suffered motion sickness before, the wobbly feeling is similar to when you get off a 7 day cruise ship. I’ve searched for people with similar symptoms and how long they last but they’re few and far between so I’m making this post in case anyone searches in the future. Here we are, this is day 7 of not playing VR, for the last 6 days I’ve had a drunk wobbly feeling when turning my head and that leads to nausea, I’ve taken Dramamine and Bonine to help ease the suffering. I didn’t know at the time it could cause motion sickness, maybe I didn’t pay attention to the warnings, but I played through the nausea and dizziness because I thought it was something I ate. I played the rollercoaster app, Jedi Immortals, and alot of Poker stars. I bought an Oculus Quest 2 about 2 weeks ago, I love it, couldn’t stop bragging and telling everyone it’s the future.
