i've been wondering what would be causing this... i owned a DK2 and i had zero nausea with it... i could play games for hours without any issues.
but now with CV1 i have a little bit of dizziness after a few minutes playing... google earth is one of the worst for me... can't stand more than a few minutes.
i have good FPS and my IPD is set accordingly in the HMD.
what else can i do?
does anyone else has the same experience coming from the DK2?
You are doing eveything right. I would stop using the DK2. Use the CV1 only. Play until you feel sick and then stop. After a while of doing that you will be able to use CV1 for as long as you like.
When I first got CV1 I felt sick when using it. I never had a DK1 or DK2. As soon as I did feel sick I stopped playing. Each time I used CV1 it was taking longer and longer before I felt sick. Nowadys I can play anything for hours and not feel sick. There is no app or game that makes me feel sick.

My only experience with VR before the CV1 was cheap plastic Google Cardboard headsets. They never made me sick - but never felt fully immersive.
The only games that have made me feel nausea in the CV1 are:
1 - Duke Nukem 3d (eDukeVR) - 20 minutes (probably a little less) and I wasn't able to put my headset on for two days afterwards. 2 - Lucky's Tale - only the first time, and it wasn't so much that I got nauseous it was that I felt out of my body. I had to stop after an hour because I didn't like the feeling of it. When I went back to the game a few weeks later I did not have this effect.
I feel pretty lucky - because I feel like I had VR legs naturally and have been able to play long sessions since I got my Rift. My younger brother however gets nausea pretty quick - not to the point where he has to take the headset off, but enough for it to be noticeable.
I think the best bet is like @wanoennogs mentioned just keep exposing yourself to it until you get adjusted to the new headset.
I have tried a Rollercoaster one (can't remember which one - it is free on the Oculus store, though it has in app purchases for more coasters) and it did give me the sensation of being on one - the drop in the gut when you start heading downward. But I didn't get much nausea from it - I am going to plug in a fan soon and put it at full blast in front of me and see if that helps provide a little more physical immersion.
