Gotcha. I’m like the Zuck in the sense that I don’t get sickness in VR, so I forget that it’s a major issue for most other people. Full joystick locomotion with all the motion sickness assists turned off is the only way to go for me. (They break immersion.) I never got headaches from 3D movies and games either. I really miss that era of PC gaming because the glasses were a lot less cumbersome than a headset.
I feel really bad for those who have motion sickness issues with games; happened to me one time when I was drinking too much one day and then made the mistake of hitting the live resin. So I completely get why those who suffer wouldn’t want to touch VR. I sure wouldn’t if that was my normal experience.
I played video games until I got sick multiple times as a kid, now I’m immune to motion sickness. And I still play video games until I get sick sometimes!
Yeah the it was hilariously satisfying to see the whole Meta Worlds thing (or whatever it was called) fail spectacularly. Zuck actually believed that everyone would want to spend their lives in a VR headset with a 2 hour battery life because he tried it once and didn’t get sick.
Also they were kinda late to the AI game, shouldve took some hints from apple, lol. and sit back and watch the industry. im guessing if your meta social media platform is all about making fake engagement and riling people up politically, its natural the ROBOT Zuck is drawn to it.
I love VR even though it does take a while to get used to and moving around in it makes me super queasy after 20 minutes or so unless I am actually moving.
However, I find the most uncomfortable feeling comes from leaving VR after an extended time in it. It feels like you’re dreaming and can’t wake up. Everything just feels super weird for about an hour or two after taking the headset off.
Technically it doesn’t “make” people motion sick, they are motion sick either way. But VR offers a very accessible way to train away your motion sickness. Since you can actually stop early enough to reinforce that your brain doesn’t need to protect you. A car ride or boat is much harder to stop at a moments notice.
If you keep reinforcing that you don’t need motion sickness, your brain stops doing it to you. It thinks it’s helping.
Similarly, the medication for car ride or boat motion sickness works for VR too. So they can help you be able to spend more time in each session while training it away.
Yeah, exactly!
I was thinking of motion sickness, too. VR/AR makes a huge fraction of people sick, literally.

he spent billions on VR, and then AI, it just 1 disaster after another for him. and the ad/ right wing propaganda wasnt enough revenue for him.

It’s your brain re-integrating back into the matrix.
