I hope my old PSVR model (the second revision that came for the PS4) is the one that causes dizziness (thus blocks the enjoyment) whenever I try VR gaming... Because it is a technology that I truly don't want to miss 😅
I know there are some workarounds to get your VR legs and such, but I honestly think I am broken.
In case you haven't tried, the 2 biggest "vr hacks" for motion sickness are:
Have a small circular rug that's a different texture than the ground its on, so you can feel when you step off of it.
And have a single, small, directional fan aimed at you (not overhead.)
Those 2 help keep you grounded and oriented without taking you out of immersion.
But, some games just suck and the locomotion isn't smooth, and can't be saved.
I haven't tried the rug trick, gonna check it out.
The worst feeling for me is when the character jumps or falls (fall would be the accurate term).
