There are around 50.2 million virtual reality users in America, which is around 15% of the population! The popularity and accessibility of VR is rapidly expanding, with more and more manufacturers entering the market with new headsets and ways to be immersed in virtual worlds. While it is an exciting new horizon for gamers and non-gamers alike, many newcomers to VR experience motion sickness or discomfort when using VR headsets. What causes VR motion sickness? When playing a VR game, your eyes register the movements being projected to you, but your body is not moving in a way that corresponds with what you are seeing. This causes your eyes, inner ears, and muscles to send mixed messages to your brain all at once, which leads to disorientation. That brain scrambling translates to motion sickness and other discomfort. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce VR side effects. This guide explores 15 methods that can help VR be a more enjoyable, immersive experience.
