How do astronauts combat nausea in space? Practice. I personally don't expect a technical solution to this any time soon. We just have to acclimatize ourselves.

- ethbro 9y ago> We just have to acclimatize ourselves. Aww. But I already had my scalpels out for DIY inner ear surgery. I just finished watching the YouTube howto and everything... :(
- falcolas 9y ago> We just have to acclimatize ourselves A lot of discomfort for relatively little (at least thus far) gain.
- shazow 9y agoNot everyone is fit to be an astronaut. Not everyone is able to eliminate nausea through reasonable amounts of acclimatization. The target audience for VR is everyone.
- Houshalter 9y agoEveryone? It's always going to be a niche thing. There's lots of people who can't play regular video games because of motion sickness, but the video game industry doesn't suffer.
- y4mi 9y agoyou should replace 'always' with 'foreseeable future'. its plain wrong otherwise.
- pera 9y agoI know many people who can't play first-person games because of simulator sickness. That didn't stop the game industry.
- pshc 9y agoTo add to this, motion sickness from FPS-on-a-screen is inherently unfixable due to the lack-of-locomotion issue. But roomscale VR deals with that issue. VR done right could very well expand the FPS market.
