VR, Sickness, 3rd Person Perspectives

I could be wrong, but I believe VR sickness will be a major problem that will force developers to build applications that minimize user movement. While a READY PLAYER ONE vision of VR is tantalizing, I don't see the sickness problem being solved anyt...

multiple hydras

It seems like it could be possible to connect multiple hydras for additional tracking. With additional hydra(s) you could track head position, both hands, and possibly even feet. Has anyone tried this yet to see if it works in any of the engines?
