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.
