VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it (www.pcgamer.com)

Ok that sounds interesting. I just though that glasses wearer might not have motion sickness as often due to the glasses being similar to the VR(or keeping the glasses under the Headset

I wear glasses (which I keep inside the helmet) and have mild motion sickness when moving in VR. The faster I move in-game, the worse it gets. Racing games are OK because I don't move inside the car, I suspect having a static dashboard is similar to a virtual nose.

Glasses wearer here. VR makes me nauseous af. And not just during, for hours afterwards. Its not an intense 'I have to vomit' but a queasy feeling that persists. I'm old though, and my kids have zero issues with it.

Glasses wearer here, I still see my nose with the glasses on. VR gives me mild motion sickness but only when moving around in a "smooth" way (Teleporting or walking irl is fine but using regular controller movement makes me want to throw up after ~30 minutes)
