Motion Sickness

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9543]

Am I the only one here who gets sick in the stomach whenever playing certain games that have a lot of fast movement? Sometimes I feel like throwing up after 15 minutes of gameplay; and sometimes I can take it. I don’t know what I’m doing to where I can handle it. If I feel sick, I get fresh fruit and fresh veggies, which I call “friendly foods.” I used to get motion sickness at movie theaters when I was a kid in the 90s from like “Twister” and “Dante’s Peak.” I remember getting VERY sick while watching a movement video with moving seats down in Universal in Florida.

So am I the only person who gets motion sickness when playing games with a lot of movement? If not, how do you guys handle it to where you can play games without feeling like barfing?

My female cousin can’t ride any transport without a barf bag.
My classmate from school couldn’t play Wolfenstein 3D because he was getting dizzy.
I never had that problem, luckily

I can sometimes handle Resident Evils 4 – 6 and Call Of Duty Modern Warfare. This is one of the reasons why I liked the PS1 Resident Evil games, because of fixed camera angles and not all that movement junk. Half-Life was lethal to my stomach years ago.

I can handle traveling. I don’t get motion sickness from planes and cars. Just video games, movies at the theater (1990s) and spinning carnival rides I can’t take.

Stay off ocean going vessels!

Forget about roller coasters!

Vertigo must not be your thing!

Speaking about vertigo, I wonder how Sky-O’s doing?

There are glasses on the market that can assist with this. I’ve never used them so I cant provide a personal recommendation but here is some information on two types of glasses that may help:

One of the most effective type of glasses is the so-called “boarding ring” glasses. Sea sickness is generally caused by a conflict between the motion sensed by the inner ear and what is being seen through your eyes. Boarding ring glasses create its own virtual horizon which agrees with what your inner ear is experiencing, thus stopping the sea sickness. It is said that they only need to be worn for a few minutes before any symptoms of motion sickness will disappear. Clinical tests, carried out with the French Navy, have shown them to be 95% effective, surpassing most other seasickness remedies.

How much do they cost? Good question. The only available boarding ring anti-sea sickness glasses currently available on Amazon are $182.64 and appear to be sourced from Japan. On the other hand, a UK chandlery has them on sale for £59.95, or around $75.

There is another anti-sea sickness technology which appears to have developed from the virtual reality business. Many virtual reality head sets have been found to induce motion sickness, so the VR designers have come up with an electronic cure for motion sickness. They use electronic lenses which start to strobe (both lenses becomes dark and then clear very fast) creating better perception of movement and minimizing the disagreement between perception and the inner ear’s interpretation of movement. Xpand Vision is one of the companies making these electronic sea sickness fighters. They look less dorky than the boarding ring glasses but still cost around $150 a copy. They are battery operated and appear not to be as rigorously test than the boarding ring design. Travel Shades in the UK also offer glasses with a different but similar approach.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
