I got massive nausea playing anything where my view was moving, but I wasn't moving - aka. playing a first person shooter my character moved with the thumbstick. Luckily the Oculus store makes it easy to refund games.
Apparently it's normal and only gets better if you play more.
The few times I hooked up my Oculus to my PC was to play this. It was pretty fucking cool, lol. Just walked around, picking up guns, adding attachments, manually reloading them (say a bolt-action sniper), shooting targets, etc.
I moved in that game by flicking the thumb stick to a marked location (like a teleport) so there was no nausea there.

This is why it will always be niche and only utilized for a small subset of activities/usages.
What I'm saying is many of these companies want to pretend and sell the idea that VR will be the groundbreaking coming in tech akin to the first iPhone, or MP3s.
It will not. |
I tried the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator with the Oculus and it was actually super sick. I flew over my house multiple times and even tried an allahu akbar, lmao, but even my RTX 3080 was chugging a little.
I think the next generation of flight simulator and whatever available tech will be absolutely stunning.
