"Despite the glowing positive reviews..." Crazy talk from the Tech Bologosphere : Controlling Oculus Rift’s Motion Sickness Side Effect, in other words Have it Professionally Fitted with the Most Precise Tolerances by an Oculus Fitting Expert and You Will Still Probably Get Sick
Despite all the glowing positive reviews about the products being next to perfect for virtual reality experiences, the developers have been receiving a growing list of complaints. There are certain side effects of using the head mounted display which could turn serious if not attended to properly. Most gamers have listed some common unpleasant features after using the Oculus Rift headset; some of which are: nausea, dizziness, headaches, sweating, shaking, etc. If players have been using the headset for a longer than optimal period of time, they may even start vomiting. All these can be grouped under the umbrella term ‘motion sickness’.

DEVELOPERS CONFIRM WORK ON XBOX ONE VR KIT
So if these reports are true that Microsoft's XBOX One HMD is already in the hands of developers that would mean it is not one and the same as eMagin's iHMD which is still in development and yet to be shown to prospective customers. eMagin management said they would demo it to interested parties in early 2015. Some reports say that Miccrosoft's HMD announcement refers to Microsoft's Project "B" which is for a VR HMD, others like GTA's Zelnick, who demoed it left open the possibility that it was the RoomAlive System similar to the one described in Project Fortaleza. On second thought eMagin CEO Sculley anticipated that ALL VR HMDs would eventually use microdisplays so it's possible that Microsoft and eMagin developed Immersive HMDs on parallel tracks using the same displays. eMagin promised a rollout, safe to anticipate a slow rollout of details on their device so hopefully the fog will lift in time.
Several studios have confirmed to VRFocus that they are working with the device, while Techradar has also received similar information that suggests teams have already begun work on software for the kit. No specific information about the device itself or exactly which videogames are in development for it has been revealed just yet.

Intel Pivots to Glass as Google’s Vision Remains Rose-Tinted
A Self-Experimentation Report about Long-Term Use of Fully-Immersive Technology
In the PR describing their iHMD eMagin cites Big Boy Applications for the device, Medical, Architecture, 3D Design, Education, Training and Simulation. Great, all serious applications in controlled situations, these gamers though are a different kettle of fish. Keep the price point high to keep the school skippers, drug users and slackers away. They have enough going on in their lives.
• Simulator sickness: The participant reported serious, but
not harmful simulator sickness symptoms, in particular after
periods of moving around extensively in the VE. In contrast,
simulator sickness symptoms were soon decreased
when the participant rested on the bed or on the couch.
• Perceived accommodation: After about four hours in the
VE, the participant started to report that the accommodation
distance seemed to vary from the fix accommodation
distance (160cm) of the HMD. In particular, the participant
reported the illusion of staying in a virtual sphere with a radius
of 5 meters on which the virtual scene is projected.
• Ergonomics of HMD: The only concern of the participant
about the HMD was the latency causing simulator sickness
during exhaustive movements and the limited resolution
during working at the desk. During the first and second
VR block, the participant perceived a dry eye syndrome on
both eyes, which may result from decreased tear production
due to the sealed HMD setup.
• Place and Plausibility illusion: Several times during the
experiment the participant was confused about being in the
VE or in the real world, and mixed certain artifacts and
events between both worlds.
The self-experiment revealed some first insights into how
“living” in a virtual world with immersive technology would
impact human beings. We were surprised that the participant
did not suffer more from simulator sickness. An interesting
finding is that according to the participant’s feedback a comfortable
and stable pose has the potential to enormously reduce
simulator sickness. This may be due to the fact that in
these poses the body senses (vestibular and kinesthetic feedback)
inform the user that he is not moving. The participant’s
comments about the ergonomics of the HMD revealed that
latency is by far the most important aspect.
