Nope. It's fine as it is.

Horror games are always much better in VR. Try it.

I understand, but not when you have bad eyes and get headaches from playing games in VR.

I'm a medical professional who uses VR. Keep pushing. VR (when you are used to it) is less likely to give you headaches than non-VR. In VR you are using your eyes exactly as you would be in the real world. Once you get used to VR, the only reason you'd get headaches would be if you were getting headaches from using your eyes anyway (thus needing glasses).

Flatscreen gaming causes your brain to interpret a 2d image in 3d. That causes headache. In VR you are using your eyes to see the computer world in 3d already. You could play VR all day if you wanted to and not get a computer headache (though you might have welts on your face).

Lol, medical professional, well alright then. Let me spill the beans to you buddy, you're still looking at a flat screen or two in VR and your brain is still trying to interpret the image as 3D. There's still a frame rate refreshing right in front of your eyes. You're still tricking your brain, even more so, mr. professional. Sickness can appear due to conflicting signals being sent to the brain from the person's eyes, inner ear and body tissue sensory receptors. Especially if there's fast movement involved in VR and you're actually standing still.

Kind of like kids can endure spinning a lot better than aduls can. The inner ear, viscosity of the liquid etc? Yeah, you can train the body to get used to the VR better, but don't pretend it's not tricking the brain, and definitely tricking it more than your regular monitors do, mr medical professional.

If it weren't fear, why are people able to acclimatise? If it were a biological / pathological problem it would always be there.

VR sickness is about acclimatising to something that is causing your brain distress.

Exactly, getting used to it. Because it's tricking the brain. They train astronauts to get used to zero G too. (not that it's the same of course).
DAN-di-WARhol 26 Nov, 2020 @ 12:04pm 
...but it is a similar process.

A physiological process cannot be acclimatised to (at least not all the way). A psychological process can.

Our brains don't like to be tricked. They shout "Stop it! Stop it now!" The only way they can do that is to make us feel ill. It might not feel like fear, but the same evolutionary process is operating.

No the process for both is the exact same, 2 separate images are combined to make a stereoscopic 3D image, that's why each eye has a different image to mimic the way we see things in the real world.
Flat screen gaming is the same exact thing as looking at photos, the only difference is that the angle of the photo will to each eye be different making the photo appear in a 3D plane but not the image as 3D.

No it doesn't, this is simply not true.

"Flatscreen gaming causes your brain to interpret a 2d image in 3d. That causes headache." - I'm a professional artist making 3D in 2D screens +12 hours every single day and I never have headaches.
Btw, if this game is released for VR I think I'll have a heart attack.
But it's worth it!

If you have headaches thats a sign that your IPD settings are wrong. VR should be amazing and perfect for VR.
