When I first started VR I would get sick, so I started to use it for 30 minutes at a time, then 1 hour, then more and more until I can handle 8 hours at a time (break at 4 hour mark). It just takes practice.

I do qa for VR headsets and have never gotten used to them. I'm at like three years of use as my job and still get nauseous

did you grow up playing a lot of videogames? I have a theory that getting used to it while young has a big impact on how it'll effect you later. My grandma can't even look at Minecraft without getting sick and I can play VR for hours with nothing other than a bit of "woah no delay" for a few minutes

I grew up on video games and have been getting high so slime rancher doesn’t make me sick

Curious if you started with 'intense' experiences with artificial locomotion? IIRC if you have bad experiences while getting used to VR, your brain will associate the headset with nausea and it can be a vicious cycle.

I do think I read that some people just can’t handle VR. No idea why. Hopefully you take brakes often and don’t get too sick.

My wife and I used to stream on twitch and we would stream 8 hours for 2 days a week.

We did VR for a few months, I setup half the living room with green screen and used LIV software and a camera to put us inside the games.

One of the times I was waving the controller and broke the ceiling light glass shade while live so that was exciting lol

Do not ever do this. VR for a person that doesn't tolerate it can lead to days of feeling sick, nausea etc. Some people aren't meant to play it. Listen to your body, when it tells you "I don't feel so well" just stop. Otherwise you'll lose a week of your life and be miserable, if not something worse.
