Magic Leap’s technology may be years away from completion

I've never met anyone who gets sick based entirely off vergence-accommodation conflict. I've certainly talked to people who claimed it was an issue but would happily go to a 3d film so I assume they were misattributing the cause of their sickness. Maybe having the peripherals line up for 3d films is enough.

I'd be interested to hear some testimonials on how it affects people though. One of the interesting things about VR is finding out the myriad of different ways people are sensitive to small phenomena.

I'll chime in on this:

I own a Vive, and get sick using that after half an hour maybe (even though it's not too bad and I can keep using it), and it takes me a few hours to "reset" afterwards.

I don't get sick in 3D movies (but I don't enjoy them, and never choose to see one in 3D if there's an alternative.

The reason I don't get sick in 3D movies I assume is because it's still just a screen, and any head movement I make is still 100% "responsive", with no delay or mismatch.

Edit: Sorry, I read your response a bit lazily. Yes, it's not related to vergence-accommodation, at least not exclusively.
