Everything you wanted to know about simulator sickness
Hi folks, I've been really curious about the incidence of simulator sickness, so I did some research into the history of simulator sickness and wrote up what I found here: http://www.twentymillisecon...
I can give you one interesting data point. I have been using simulators for almost 20 years and have never experienced any motion sickness. I do not get sick while flying or riding in cars, including while reading or performing other close in focused tasks. I do however did get sea sick on my first deployment in the navy but once I had my sea legs that has passed too. I tell you that all to tell you this:
My experience with the DK2 started out terrible. The issue was chromatic aberration. I have a high end pc setup with butter smooth graphics so head tracking and judder were no issue. That being said, two minutes under the hood and I was throwing up with a lingering nausea and head ache for many hours afterwards. Until I solved the Chromatic convergence issue the rift was completely unusable. I can now go many hours under the hood, but I still have an initial reluctance to put it on because of lasting imprint of the first few times I used it without the correction.
I can explain my experience with the DK2 but it was very real.
