VR has a nasea problem. I never expected that I would get nauseous--that's something other people feel, but I am an avid game player. No way will it affect me.
I was so wrong. One of my first experiences in VR was pushing myself to play 3 hours of Orbus. I thought I could just push through it and I would get used to it.
I felt awful for the rest of the day. Even sleeping did not fully restore me. I almost called in sick the next day because of a dumb game.
Sometimes I think Zuckerberg might just be one of the 10% of people who dont get VR sickness. The technology is really cool. If you haven't tried it yet--go find someone who owns one. But it's sort if a trap. If you don't feel sickness from it, you can very easily be deceived into thinking everyone will perceive it like you.
Im still an avid VR player, but I make sure I only play games where I am stationary.
