Oculus VR : VR SIMULATOR SICKNESS IS REAL

比較的安価であるも関わらず、角度センサーにも対応している 没入タイプのヘッドマウントディスプレイ(HMD) Oculus VR"。ゲームやシミュレーションなどで利用されることが多いだろう。完全没入タイプであることも原因か、長時間の利用で「HMD酔い」という現象もあるようだ。この点は今後の課題にもなるだろう。


When conversation turns to the virtual reality platform Oculus Rift, the issue of “simulator sickness” inevitably comes up. The short form: some people experience motion sickness when using the device. Enough people, in fact, that the phenomenon has begun to look like a significant hurdle for the technology.
Surprisingly one of those people is Oculus VR CEO Brendan Iribe, who spoke this week at the Gaming Insiders conference in San Francisco. Polygon quotes him thus:

“I’ve gotten sick every time I’ve tried it. Every time until recently,” he said. “In the last few weeks, I stayed in it for 45 minute sessions and I did not get sick with the new prototype. We are at the edge of bringing you no motion sickness content.”
