Great Advice From Reddit on Avoiding VR Sickness (Doesn't seem to be getting better out there in Oculustan)

A few notes on helping with VR sickness:

• don't play hungry
• don't play full
• don't shake the base of the sensor
• don't drink booze, beer, sake, or wine before hand
• avoid disembodied head situations, in general i'm not a fan of the keyboard, mouse or controller movements
• don't play on a slow computer
• don't set the graphics settings too high
• do set the settings low enough to keep the graphics from droping below 90 FPS
• do move your head to look at stuff
• do use your hands to move, leap motion, etc...
• do play games where you are inside of a cockpit, somehow this feels better

Also, getting nausea, seems to get worse faster the more you push it. So if it starts, even subtly take off the headset rest for 5-10 min, go on a walk and come back to it. Sometime's I've pushed it and ended up not being able to play for hours and having a lingering sort of hunger.

I've also had friends get prescriptions for motion sickness, and you would need to take the drugs before you start playing. I personally would rather not take such medications, but my friends who naturally get motion sick in every day life say they are able to play VR this way.
