#MOTION SICKNESS GLASSES VR FULL#
You can catch our full interview with Shen Ye below, where we also talk about the line-up of Vive products and headsets, as well as HTC's take on the metaverse with the Viveverse. If you're parents and taking your kids on a long road trip, you no longer need to keep them entertained, just give them a pair of glasses and they can immerse themselves." That means you can have the Vive Flow, which isn't a massive pair of glasses, it's super small in a closed space, but be able to have really immersive games and videos in VR. The content is moving and adjusting to the car's movement as well to reduce motion sickness, of course. "The goal is that they are able to match the car's speed, direction changes, movements in real-time to the headset. "What Holoride has done is they've been able to use Vive Flow to provide an immersive experience for people in cars," said Ye. I have also heard that the graphics are much better with the Valve, that the Rift S sound is terrible (do Rift S owners all play with separate headphones on?), and that the Valve is much more comfortable.Ī final note is that i wear glasses (John Lennon types), and wondering how that will affect the Valve or the Rift S.During our chat, we got onto the topic of HTC's partnership with Holoride, a company that aims to use virtual reality to be able to provide entertainment on-the-go, with Ye telling us all about how the systems in place not only achieve that, but also work to reduce motion sickness when travelling in cars as well.

Note that i am wanting a really good VR resolution/graphics too and do want to be able to see the dash board numbers clearly, etc. I5-9600KF OC'd to 4.7-5.2 (he says done this way it is comparable to the i9-9900K for much less money, he adds the OC for free)Īs a backup, if i do get motion sick with VR and just can't get past it, then i will be able to smoke a new 1440p/144hz 32 inch monitor i am also getting, so i can use that as my backup and still be able to Sim Race, but i WANT TO USE VR! I know i need a computer that is capable of running either the Valve at a steady 120fps or the Rift S at a steady 80fps, and Jeff assures me that the following rig he is putting together will do is: I would definitely rather spend only $400 on a Rift S if that will work great for me, but i have read forums that swear by the Valve Index as having solved their motion sickness issues (when they were coming from a Rift), and it seems like the superior headset for graphics/sound and comfort. I found Jeff Ford at (who has built a ton of sim racing rigs), and he is helping me put my computer upgrade, rig and sim gear together and building it for me! He actually recommends the Oculus Rift S as his favorite VR headset, and he says that preventing motion sickness is much more about keeping the Rift S at a constant 80fps than it is about getting the fps up to 120fps. I am thinking of going straight for the Valve Index so that i can run at 120fps/hz and hopefully that will be my best chance of being able to handle VR and not get sick. So, i am thinking of doing all the normal stuff, using a fan, doing it in short stints and stopping immediately when feeling sick, using a wrist band TENS unit thing like the Emeterm electrode stimulator, etc, but i am still concerned that it may be hard for me to 'get my VR legs'. I am super concerned that i will get motion sick and it will keep me from playing in VR. I get sick in a car backseat, but not if i am holding onto the steering wheel and driving. The solution, as always, is between developers and engineers to construct VR headsets that can be comfortable for everyone.

Overcoming motion sickness is critical for further progress in the immersive industry. Studios extensively explore the possibilities of improving the user’s comfort.

Sorry, it's a long post that has been building up for the past month! Thanks for the help in advance Currently, VR is in the wild-west stage of development. About a month ago, i saw by mistake a Jimmy Broadbent video of him racing a 60s grand prix car around spa and he was wearing a VR headset, and i was instantly pulled into the sim racing rabbit hole! OH NO!!! My main desire is to get into sim racing using VR, and i have never yet used VR at all for anything.
