There was a point decades ago when I had to learn to ignore my inner ear and rely on my vision for balance. Much too often, I would be standing there minding my own business, and the floor would come up and slap me in the face. Really, that was exactly how I perceived it. To others, it probably just looked like I tipped over and did not even catch myself. It was always an unexpected surprise, and rudely shocking and annoying when it happened. That all went away when I learned to (mostly) ignore my inner ear, but since then I almost always have a slightly annoying background queasiness (like I just got off a spinning ride at an amusement park). You learn to ignore such things when they are persistent. However, I become accutely aware of this problem again while using my Rift (which is why I close my eyes while turning my body with an controller in VR). I plan to use a motorized chair, to keep my body aligned with VR, so my re-tuned vestibular filters can be effective in VR too. My controller will physically rotate my chair to match my (seated) body rotation in VR. Of course, when I get my Virtuix Omni, my body will turn itself, so no motors needed.
:D
