    As much as I want to like VR, it just makes me so nauseous. Even games attempting to mitigate motion sickness make me nauseous.

    There’s a game on PSVR called RIGS. It’s a high speed sports game. That game made me nauseous in about thirty seconds and the nausea lasted for hours. Such a dreadful experience.

      The best VR experience I’ve had was at a local VR arcade where they have multiple wireless units and a large space to move around and play purpose-built games in. No nausea other than when I stepped into a no-zone behind a (real) pillar and the tracking system desynced from the headset for a few moments.

      I think that application was where VR really shines to its full potential. But for people to use in their homes, at desks? Not so much.
