do you ever get motion sick or eye strain when you're creating vr art? your work has inspired me to try creating some myself but i can only stand being in vr for a short while before these things kick in 8(

yes I definitely got motion sickness when I first started back in 2016! I had to slowly build up my tolerance and can now handle even the more intense VR experiences - it's just something that your brain needs to take time to get used to and different people have different sensitivity levels

I don't run into eye strain as much but I do sometimes get tension headaches from the muscles in my neck holding up the heavy Quest2 headset haha. I hope that their future headsets are lighter (while also still being relatively inexpensive)

#auropost #there are a lot of cues your brain instinctively processes while in the real world #and these cues are either absent or distorted in vr #like there is no screen refresh rate or virtually constructed depth of field or immaterial objects irl #so the result of your brain rejecting all this weird virtual shit iiiiiiissss... motion sickness #but the human mind is incredibly plastic and can adapt to even the most bizarre of circumstances #so gradually increased exposure can help #you can also get anti-motionsickness wrist bands if it's really bad #they're supposed to be used on boats but hey maybe they work with vr too
