I can wear a Vive for an hour but can't take more than 2 minutes in an OR.</p>Patchouli Woollahra commented on 'Confirming danah boyd's Early Concerns, Studies Suggest Women Much More Likely to Get Motion Sickness from Using VR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d26d5506970c2017-03-22T02:57:07Z2017-03-22T22:02:44ZPatchouli WoollahraVirtual Reality is basically the art of selling multisensory bullpoopy to the mind.

Even Second Life can occasionally cause mild VR-mental model conflicts if the camera and avatar move fast and shakily enough.</p>
<p>It will be a while before we can calmly accept things as they apparently are as presented in VR, and Descartes' Evil Deceiver may never check out of the building either.</p>
<p>If VR wants to have a long-term future as a reasonably well-used adjunct to flatscreening, it needs to figure out the causes and mitigate them significantly. Otherwise, it's like you said, Hamlet-san: it'll always be a niche or one catering mainly to entertainment.</p>Wagner J Au commented on 'Confirming danah boyd's Early Concerns, Studies Suggest Women Much More Likely to Get Motion Sickness from Using VR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c8e2c1be970b2017-03-21T17:21:11Z2017-03-22T22:02:44ZWagner J AuYeah good point -- 1 in 3 of guys get nauseous, that's a huge number for a product that's supposed...<p>Yeah good point -- 1 in 3 of guys get nauseous, that's a huge number for a product that's supposed to become as popular as smartphones. (As hardcore VR enthusiasts claim.) Roughly 100% of males and females from 2 to 82 can use a smartphone!</p>Clara Seller commented on 'Confirming danah boyd's Early Concerns, Studies Suggest Women Much More Likely to Get Motion Sickness from Using VR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d26d0f89970c2017-03-21T13:33:17Z2017-03-21T13:33:18ZClara Sellerhttp://profile.typepad.com/6p01b7c7f4b099970bEven if you subtract the statistics for women, that's still a concerning statistic for men.

<p>Virtual reality, as it exists, is conflict delivered to the brain with immobilizing technology. Sight and sound say one thing, other senses say another. Maybe women just respond more strongly to the deception and vulnerability combination. </p>Ugh commented on 'Confirming danah boyd's Early Concerns, Studies Suggest Women Much More Likely to Get Motion Sickness from Using VR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c8e28a95970b2017-03-21T02:27:28Z2017-03-22T22:02:44ZUghIs it an attempt to drag VR into that never endong gender beef?<p>Is it an attempt to drag VR into that never endong gender beef?</p>
