Important safety tip if you got an Occulus Quest or other VR headset for Christmas...

5. Some of that is your brain getting mixed signals.

Your eyes are telling you that you're moving, but your inner ear is saying "Nuh-uh. We're standing still."

So your brain defaults to the setting it does when there's a difference in inputs: It thinks you might be poisoned and wants to expel whatever's in your stomach. (Because clearly that's where the poison is, according to your brain.)

If you're sitting down, that effect is lessened.

In Fallout 4 VR, there's several ways to navigate: teleport to a location or use the joysticks to move. You can switch them pretty much on the fly, and it's noticeable to me how much more queasy I get when I use the controller's thumbsticks.

In a game like Elite Dangerous, I'm sitting down, so there's almost no nausea (Unless there's graphical lag.)

There is vertigo, though. When you're landing on a planet and your ship has glass panels in the floor of the cockpit, it looks like it's a loooooooooong way down. (But it still looks amazing)
