Amazing if he pulls it off.
I've never been one the be affected but some people I have demoed my setups with are.

This would be amazing if true.
I love VR but man some games will literally make you want to vomit.

Valuable if true. The first corner on Driveclub VR made me want to vomit. I soldiered on for a few more laps but had to stop in the end, I felt awful.
Strangely Far Point with the gun attachment didn't affect me much.
Its one of the big reasons I haven't got a psvr yet though, I'm concerned that I won't get my VR legs and end up with an expensive vomit simulator in my front room.

Or a way to shut off the vestibular system temporarily while in VR or maybe match the disconnect via a certain frequency transmitted to the inner ear to properly match what your eyes see.
I'm overly unfond of the man and his politics, but if he's successful that'll do a lot of good for a lot of people.
man these twitter inventor billionaires putting on smug saviour airs rub me just the worst way
in addition to his already being a shit person

But resetera told me on a VR thread once that motion sickness in VR was minimal when I said most people I demo my setup end up dizzy/wanting to vomit!
Thanks god I am not a victim of that.

His other plans seem a little... ambitious, to put it mildly. That the VR thing is even mentioned in the same breath doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
At least the first few posts managed to stay on topic.
Motion sickness is a real problem, so why not.

Yep.
How about putting some of that money into fixing the sickness that is conservatism?
Man let's not do that here.
Anyway, regardless of him being a bit of a fuckwad, a universal solution to this is the #1 thing that VR needs to be enjoyable by the masses; it may currently be expensive, but even beyond cost it's had barriers to enjoyment; namely controls (Solved by Knuckles), wires (Solved by wireless TP Cast) and motion sickness, which this would hopefully take care of.
Doesn't count. It's an anime dude. :p
I'm still skeptical. Well see what happens later this year. On the up side, he says he'll release it as open source, so everyone here can use it without feeling guilty.
This is old news, and I'm not sure if anything really came from it, but Samsung was working on this more than two years ago: https://www.roadtovr.com/samsungs-new-headphones-trick-your-inner-ear-to-move-you-in-vr/
I remember meeting and talking with Palmer Luckey in 2014 and his idea at the time was galvanic skin responses. I.e. shocking your temples. I told him good luck with that, as even I, one of the most insane VR supporters around, would never try that. I certainly hope he's come up with a better solution.
lol yes, nothing came of this, because as I said, convincing people to actually try these systems is extremely hard. Like, I'd never, ever try that stuff.

Whelp this thread went about as expected.
His views are shit we get it. The problem he's trying to solve is really fascinating though and why would I want someone to fail at solving a problem just because I hate him. That's some fickle shit

I don't believe him but it would be amazing if true. It's one of the biggest barriers to VR, especially as it takes time to build up your "VR legs" and that initial feeling of sickness can put people off.
If Hitler invented the cure for aids should we throw it in the trash?
This would be a good step, but I was hoping the motion sickness would drive forward locomotion solutions rather than encourage a workaround. I dont get sickness but gliding around an open world standing still is immersion breaking
