    I played with the Oculus Rift CV1 for a long time and never really got over the this. If I played regularly I sort of got used to it, but I still found that having a fan on and a bottle of water nearby was necessary to avoid getting a headache or nausea. If I ever had a period of a few weeks of not playing it, my “tolerance” quickly went back to zero.

      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.
