Enjoying lake Lucerne ️

[Matt]

@Dmart i went to school in Ireland in 1996 and at the end of the semester we went to Bern and Lucerne for a week. I still think of that as THE most beautiful place I’ve ever visited.

I could do about 10 min, then I had to quit because of nausea. But it was an impressive experience. Will do more ...

@endo Does it cause vertigo (messes with your equilibrium)? I can imagine the images of you moving but the body not moving in correlation would cause some issues.

I have not tried it yet...

I'm not an expert on VR techniques, but there was a lot of media presence by Sony before the release of the VR2 focussing on advances they have made on tolerability. At first, what I felt was pure amazement about the reality of the surrounding world. I had not problems when turning around the head or looking up or down. With the story (Horizon Call of the Mountain) progressing, there were moments when the ground shook or moved. It then started to feel a bit uncomfortable, like a slight dizziness. My son, who has more experience with it, suggested to pause. I had no after-effect. IMO this thing enables an amazing experience, but needs some habituation. I've doubts it could replace a big screen when gaming, at least not for me.

I did Richie's Plank Experience. I got genuinely scared when I looked down, or backwards to see where I had come from....
