    its an issue of refresh rate tbh.

    I went from vr at 90fps/90hz to 144fps/144hz and i went from motion sick to acceptable.

      That’s a factor but there’s many and they can vary from person to person. For some the lens type is an issue, for some people it’s simply inability to get it to fit your face properly.

      For me it’s the way the motion trackers map head movements, somewhat depends on how it’s implemented in the game, but there’s a way I can move my head that will give me instant nausea in any VR game. I’m not predisposed to motion sickness either, fine on rollercoasters etc.
