@avantgame Have you read Ernest Cline's Ready Player One? Fantastic book, but the crazy VR stuff is pretty intriguing and/or horrifying.

@syllogical yes and I hated it. -
@avantgame The book, the VR, or both? - End of conversation

@avantgame however, the rift folks seems to be taking the sim sickness issue very seriously. They are talking about all the right research. -
@ikbenben I hear that! I have seen them taking it seriously so maybe there is hope :)

@avantgame what terrifies you about it? -
.
@frankjonen Motion sickness migraines and not looking at people -
@avantgame@frankjonen argument was made against books too. VR has many great possibilities and some terrifying ones. Stay critical but fair -
@RobrechtJ@frankjonen MOTION SICKNESS and VOMITNG was an argument against books?? no. :) -
@avantgame@frankjonen reading in moving vehicles: Yes -
@RobrechtJ@avantgame BTW it’s not the book that induces the motion sickness. It’s the bent neck, muscle strain and slight bobbing motion. -
@frankjonen@avantgame also the difference between apparent and actual motion. Which is also the case for the rift.

@avantgame simulation sickness is a serious issue. Also after an extensive time in a sim some people can get sick adjusting back to reality. -
@ikbenben@avantgame I didn't realize sometimes people have trouble going back, that brings some interesting new problems up. -
@GameMakerMiller@avantgame Ever been on a train/plane/boat and then got off and felt like you were still moving? It is similar
