Oh man you have no idea how amazing it feels to overcome motion sickness. I could barely even play Pavlov without getting a headache but now I can play everything
As a budget vr enthusiast since Winter 2018, I feel this is the best tip video out there. For new vr users, I suggest taking it slow at first. 30 minutes in, 30 minutes out. Build up your vr legs and experiment with different locomotion settings. When I started, I couldn't use teleport at all. I went straight to smooth locomotion games and felt no motion sickness symptoms, which is odd since teleportation is recommended for new comers to the virtual world. Have fun with your VR!
When you’re tying to overcome motion sickness you shouldn’t be forcing yourself to keep playing while nauseous. Instead if you’re new to VR you should focus on doing small sessions then stopping when you feel sick IMMEDIATELY. Then when you are okay again, jump back in. This will gradually allow you to play for longer periods of time
If you are on the quest, echo vr is an amazing motion sickness tolerance builder. You're constantly moving and turning. I've only been playing for two days, mostly playing this, and I'm pretty tolerant. So definitely play that if you need motion sickness help.
Echo actually gave me hell with motion sickness. I was fine in other stuff, but the zero-g mechanics in echo just tore me apart. It is good, but don't try it until you feel at least vaguely comfortable in games without vertical motion first.
The First time i played vr was interesting. Stupid me decided fnaf vr would be a good place to start. First 5 mins i was mind blown from vr and scared because of how huge the animatronics are. I easied into it in like 10 minutes, i never went through motion sickness so.. Nice!
Yeah, same. I got the valve index and the quest 2 for testing and i tried them on for the first time and never got motion sick. I played boneworks and lone echo for the first game.
8:14 I actually never got motion sick when I started vr And one of the first games I played was a game where you fly a plane so I’m surprised I didn’t get motion sick
I remember the first time I ever went on VR I actually had no motion sickness and I’m super happy about it. Edit: I have 100 comments and all of them say same 😭😂
The thing about the cloth v leather thing is that while the cloth does absorb sweat more (leather does as well, trust me), it's also breathable, making it less likely for it to sweat while idly having the headset on. Leather traps the heat and makes you sweat more. So I think it's more to do with comfort than anything
@@scoutbite4334 same but I have only been on a boat a few times and vr once before I actually got a vr and I never got sick. I guess its just something where u don't get travel sick or anything like that
same here, had the quest 2 since christmas 2020 and i havent felt a bit of motion sickness, its nice to not vomit on your floor 24/7 cause you have a screen on your face
Invest in a cheap foam lens cover to put over the lenses when you aren't using it. It will keep the lens clean and it will protect them. You can accidentally ruin your headset by leaving it near a window or sliding door and having sunlight hit the lenses. I personally think headsets should come with these in the box.
Honestly you deserve more likes and subs then you already have, I bought the Quest 2 after seeing your tips and tricks (despite the Facebook ordeal). I was iffy about the overpriced accessories and didn’t know if 3rd party solutions were the way to go but you saved me money though your advice and helped me find the best vr experience for myself
It's funny because I somehow never got motion sick when starting in VR. But I have friends that do, I can totally understand how much of an issue it can be (not first hand however) and getting over it can make you really enjoy the rewards that VR has to offer
im getting an oculus soon in about 2 weeks and ive tried out a friends headset before and played beatsaber and job simulator and didnt feel anything. Is it normal for those games to not give motion sickness?
I haven't tried this myself, but I've heard it said that setting up a fan in your VR space not only helps keep you oriented but also eliminates motion sickness.
T!p$ 1.) Give your guardian specific characteristics such as Jagged zigzags or waves near dangerous and / or delicate surfaces for extra protection. This can also be used as an indicator of your bodys orientation in your game play space while you stay immersed in game play. 2.) For endurance play, use contractor extension cord as power supply and harness to protect USB-C cord from getting damaged, a single cross over tie down a cross the chest and back from shoulder to opposite hip as Indicated below can keep you going as long as you want. _0_ | \ | || 3.)Using wrist bands for the designed intended purpose has its advantages while safely secured to your wrists, you can let controllers dangle as you adjust your headset, grab a drink, or to pet your worried dog who thinks your crazy for aimlessly bouncing around the room making strange noises. 4.)

Not just from body heat but as it functions by itself. Using a cieling fan for air flow can
That motion sickness part i kinda relate to because when i first tried Vr i vomited 4 times after i spun in first steps, and then i never experienced motion sickness again!

It's all about how your brain processes the experience.
Na tbh alot of people dont have motion sickness at all with vr it really comes down to how your body deals with getting mixed signals in relation to your movement in game vs real life
But what is said in the video about it getting better if you do have it is true because it is very much about how your brain reacts and not really some innate ability and it's very rare in my experience that someone truly cant get over it with enough effort and time
Use the strap as a safety belt for your thumb. Don’t try to put your whole hand in. Adjust the angle of the strap (after the mod you described) then slide just your thumb in between the two layers of lanyard. Tighten the slider around the bottom of your thumb to comfort. Use the joystick, adjust slider. Now you can fully drop the controller in almost any position and the strap will catch it.
I am fairy new to VR, and I wouldn’t say that I have motion sickness, but every time I move in like Pavlov, my legs feel a bit wobbly. That said, I think it’s really funny and I almost hope it doesn’t go away.
as someone who has the head strap at 7:44, it's excellent. The one and ONLY reason the kiwi strap is better is the feature where you can flip it up. Otherwise, it's just as good for a lower price.
3:36 well... ive got 3 mirrors that reflect off each other behind me and to the left on what will be my playspace. I feel like even the quest will have some trouble
Not at all. Try using games with different locomotion settings and see if it's true for all of them. I couldn't use the teleportation setting for months because it would make me motion sick, but smooth locomotion like in blade and sorcery never got me sick at all.
Just got a quest yesterday, and spent all my time playing on it (other than when it was charging ofc) and I can confirm that you’ll prolly get motion sick.
8:10 I remember on the first week I think of having the quest 2, I was in Pavlov and fell off the balcony of a house and I got sooooo dizzy lol. And then I did the ISS experience
My 6 month journey has been crazy! First being a noob (who now are the people I help and don’t laugh at them like other people) but then I went to watch thrill seeker and well this guy gethip, this guy has made me just been a teacher to me and I’m soon getting a index down I could have better expirience- well for beat saber heh and using the quest to play with friends and I will (hope to) love it. Thanks hip :)
Practical tips from a 53yr old mom who plays vr way more than most kids lol For headset balancing: I took an old phone case that has the belt clip on the back & stuck my portable phone charger in it...securing it with a cpl hair ties. I clipped it to the back of my headset. It never falls off!! I use one of my shortest USB-C cables & keep the headset plugged in to the charger. I've played beat saber 4 hrs straight without using any headset battery! I'd rather come up with free or cheaper ways to enhance play, than to spend money I don't have. I use Enloop 1.5V rechargeable batteries which last for weeks.. I play every day for at least 3 hrs. I had to bite the bullet & buy from Amazon, but the charger came with 4 batteries, & I paid like $12 on a lightning deal. Tip for making ur own wrist straps: I've experimented with shoe laces, eye glass cords from the dollar store, different adjustable straps off of small handbags & little flashlights, etc.. what works best for me is some parachute cord my daughter had in her craft box. Now I have neon tie-dye controller cords. I also made knuckle controller cords out of hair ties, but I like to be able to just let go of my controllers at times...& with using only the knuckle grips, you can't do that. I do mostly workout games, so I sweat alot. I like the original foam interface because it soaks up the sweat , keeping it from dripping down your face...PLUS since its porous, it allows for some much needed airflow so you dont fog up. If I use my silicone cover, the sweat runs down my face & collects inside...yuck... & that makes it fog up, too. I wash it by hand every night using mild shampoo, squeeze out the water with a shammy & let air dry over night. Or hang it in front of a fan if I want to use it sooner. Its always clean & smells great! Also, to keep my hair back, I use a neck gaitor (sp?) (Because I take my headset off a lot... when I put it back on, my hair is a pain to keep out of my face) If your lenses get dirty alot, it's usually because they touch your forehead (not ur lashes) when u put it on. Just use an eye glass cloth to clean them up. Ok that's all of my motherly advice for now 😁👍
I never did either...until my headset went bonkers one day! Everything was shakey like an earthquake...then when I stopped turning my head, the headset didn't stop at the same time (only way I know how to explain it) I've never felt motion sickness before, but OMG if that was what I felt... holy crap...it sucks! I had to do a hard reset to fix it.
1:40 i got a pair of "prescription" null prescription lenses for my quest 2 to just use as protection for the main lenses. i got them from frames direct (oculus themself link them) but i am sure anyone who produces prescription lenses for vr headsets would be happy to make them, at frames direct you just have to note "plano" when ordering, i even uploaded a picture that just said "plano" as my prescription. keeps the main lenses clean and they are literally just glasses lenses, meaning that you can clean them however you want inside bounds of reason, and if you did scratch it oh well. might cost 80 bucks for me to replace, but at least the headset is fine.
@@Arieltheonly I tried last night. To be completely honest, couldn't make sense of half what people were up to. Pretty cool, though: it felt like the early, wild west days of msn/icq/chat rooms. My user name's Seb Sanhueza btw, if you wanna hang out and help me figuring out how things work in there.
i just started with vr recently, i don't get motion "sick" per say, definitely doesn't make me feel like i need to puke, but i get disorientation that screws up my balance, there is a word for it that i can't think of right now. but it is something that i can tell that i can get used to, simply a perception thing. and really i got the quest 2 mainly for putting together a crap level race sim, and that type of disorientation just doesn't happen to me when i try a racing game.
I just got my quest a couple days ago and have been playing it almost every free moment I had. I did not get even a little bit motion sick even when things would get jittery and laggy.
I’m actually dealing with the motion sickness issue right now. I just got my Oculus 2 this week, and have been enjoying so many games, but I picked up Saints & SInners yesterday and OH MAN…cant play more then a few minutes of moving before feeling out of sorts, I put the blinders on but really trying to get my system used to it. I picked up some ginger drops today so going to see if that helps as well. It’s such an AMAZING game and trying to do everything I can to be able to comfortably play it. I keep going back and forth between asking for a refund or keep it and hope that I will get used to it.
when i first played vr i went into super hot. one of my favorite games to play and although i did sweat a lot, i didnt feel sick or felt like i had a headache. not sure if its because i didnt play for too long but i still find it a bit weird.
The fact about oculus giving away a sillicon cover to cover the stock cover (that's a lot of cover) is very cool, can't wait to get it maybe I will do a video on it
You don't necessarily need the cable. There is a $20 application called virtual desktop on the quest store you can use as long as you have a decent Wi-Fi connection. The cable is still the best way, but it is not the only way. (:
I somehow haven't gotten motion sickness once... maybe its because my first "VR" (if you can call it that lmao) experience was with Google Cardboard. From what I know thats the easiest way to get motion sickness. Its been years but from what I remember I didn't get motion sick from that. So I guess you can say I was sorta prepared for when I finally got a real headset, the Quest 2.
3:40 My wall is a mirror and it works perfectly fine but that might be because my tv is covering the controllers from the mirror, but i have walked past myself in passthrough going near the mirror and everything works fine
I wasn't really ever motion sick when playing VR, I did however have a weird sense of derealization, readjusting to walking with my feet and touching my actual environment.
i use prescription lenses on my quest 2 and there so nice because well 1 i dont need to use my glasses in vr and 2 if you scratch them you can replace them but there a bit pricey
Thanks for the great reviews. Quick question.. what is the racing game that you show yourself playing in this video and others. My husband would love that! It looked like you were playing with the Quest 2 as well. Any info would be appreciated.
To (maybe) solve the cable twisting issue, do the same pulley system thing but only do one pulley, and make it a swivel joint so when you turn, the swivel pulley turns with you
i love this video, pretty entertaining and not boring whatsoever. you should also do a video on the Windows Mixed Reality Vr Headset. I recommend the Samsung Odyssey+ because the older windows mixed reality vr headsets are not as good, plus its pretty good for people with glasses and compatible for a good amount of games.
Hi, i bought an oculus quest 2 today and i got the leather vr cover added with it, it included foam and leather and i'm glad it did bc i sweat so fast from wearing this
Easy way to remember "5" in Spanish, Cinco De Mayo = 5th of May Get TurnSignal on Steam if you have any HMD with a cable on it. It will do wonders for how long your cable lasts by keeping you aware of how many times you've twisted in a particular direction. Twisting in both directions is a good habit to get into with VR. Even on a Quest as you'll also want to be doing this if you're using a link cable as well. VR Cover is worth the expense. I own multiple VR HMDs, and literally the first purchase for every one of them has been a VR Cover since they were thing. They are more comfortable, allow less light bleeding, and are just far more sanitary. Also, if you have a controller that uses batteries, get rechargeable batteries. I prefer Lithium Ion batteries, as they have more consistent output as they drain.
Yes it is possible ive been motion sick with my whole life and when i got my psvr i could only play for 15 min now i can play for hours on end if i dont get a headache
okay so I had PSVR and started with guns and truth (don't do this) the movement was so wonky I fell over and broke it at the end, and after I got a quest it wasn't nearly as bad, although if your really tired you will get VERY motion sick to the point where you feel like your gonna die. If your thinking about getting an oculus and want to know if its good quality or a good starter headset it is. spend your money wisely though and I know thats not of my business but if you only have 200-350 dollars to spend, try to get it for your birthday or Christmas and save that money or spend a bit on store games. review on oculus 9/10 best rating I have given on any game console and thats saying something because I had a playstation and xbox and I have to say, after I got this it quickly became my favorite console and you should get it! hope you enjoy it if you get it.
Oh man you have no idea how amazing it feels to overcome motion sickness. I could barely even play Pavlov without getting a headache but now I can play everything

Note to self do not fly a plane in vr for your first time diving in XD
My 6 month journey has been crazy! First being a noob (who now are the people I help and don’t laugh at them like other people) but then I went to watch thrill seeker and well this guy gethip, this guy has made me just been a teacher to me and I’m soon getting a index down I could have better expirience- well for beat saber heh and using the quest to play with friends and I will (hope to) love it. Thanks hip :)
the motion sickness is real hahahah had my oculus Quest 2 for a week now so i know what am talking about .now am on it Everyday VR 4 LIFE!
Practical tips from a 53yr old mom who plays vr way more than most kids lol
For headset balancing: I took an old phone case that has the belt clip on the back & stuck my portable phone charger in it...securing it with a cpl hair ties. I clipped it to the back of my headset. It never falls off!! I use one of my shortest USB-C cables & keep the headset plugged in to the charger. I've played beat saber 4 hrs straight without using any headset battery! I'd rather come up with free or cheaper ways to enhance play, than to spend money I don't have.
I use Enloop 1.5V rechargeable batteries which last for weeks.. I play every day for at least 3 hrs. I had to bite the bullet & buy from Amazon, but the charger came with 4 batteries, & I paid like $12 on a lightning deal.
Tip for making ur own wrist straps: I've experimented with shoe laces, eye glass cords from the dollar store, different adjustable straps off of small handbags & little flashlights, etc.. what works best for me is some parachute cord my daughter had in her craft box. Now I have neon tie-dye controller cords. I also made knuckle controller cords out of hair ties, but I like to be able to just let go of my controllers at times...& with using only the knuckle grips, you can't do that.
I do mostly workout games, so I sweat alot. I like the original foam interface because it soaks up the sweat , keeping it from dripping down your face...PLUS since its porous, it allows for some much needed airflow so you dont fog up. If I use my silicone cover, the sweat runs down my face & collects inside...yuck... & that makes it fog up, too. I wash it by hand every night using mild shampoo, squeeze out the water with a shammy & let air dry over night. Or hang it in front of a fan if I want to use it sooner. Its always clean & smells great!
Also, to keep my hair back, I use a neck gaitor (sp?) (Because I take my headset off a lot... when I put it back on, my hair is a pain to keep out of my face)
If your lenses get dirty alot, it's usually because they touch your forehead (not ur lashes) when u put it on. Just use an eye glass cloth to clean them up.
Ok that's all of my motherly advice for now 😁👍
i've never gotten motion sickness while playing in VR
Me too
same
Some what SOME WHAT DUDE YOU ARE LIKE A VR LEGEND IN THE COMMUNITY
nice.
im from russia bro
8:06 I played VR one time and i wasn't motion sick. I just took on the head set and started playing. I played around 4-5h and I feelt great.
I get motion sick after I take it off
I never felt motion sickness lmfao, why does everyone say it
SO TRUE IKR
I never did either...until my headset went bonkers one day! Everything was shakey like an earthquake...then when I stopped turning my head, the headset didn't stop at the same time (only way I know how to explain it) I've never felt motion sickness before, but OMG if that was what I felt... holy crap...it sucks! I had to do a hard reset to fix it.
That zero gravity thing in the ISS game doesn't get me "sick"... but it GETS ME! I keep trying it but... idk if it just freaks me out or what🙄
like 1 in 10 people don't get motion sick, so thats prolly why lol
same
Thank you for these tips! Just got my first oculus quest yesterday.
GetHip:talks about cable twisting
Me:laughs in air link
1:40 i got a pair of "prescription" null prescription lenses for my quest 2 to just use as protection for the main lenses. i got them from frames direct (oculus themself link them) but i am sure anyone who produces prescription lenses for vr headsets would be happy to make them, at frames direct you just have to note "plano" when ordering, i even uploaded a picture that just said "plano" as my prescription. keeps the main lenses clean and they are literally just glasses lenses, meaning that you can clean them however you want inside bounds of reason, and if you did scratch it oh well. might cost 80 bucks for me to replace, but at least the headset is fine.
Dude this was so helpful. Great content!
Just got an Oculus Quest 2! Your videos have been super helpful! Thanks, man!
Just got mine today its amazing. Played vr chat
@@Arieltheonly I tried last night. To be completely honest, couldn't make sense of half what people were up to. Pretty cool, though: it felt like the early, wild west days of msn/icq/chat rooms.
My user name's Seb Sanhueza btw, if you wanna hang out and help me figuring out how things work in there.
Oh, btw, try Beat Saber and Lies Beneath if you want a cool horror game. The ISS mission app is free and pretty cool too.
i just started with vr recently, i don't get motion "sick" per say, definitely doesn't make me feel like i need to puke, but i get disorientation that screws up my balance, there is a word for it that i can't think of right now. but it is something that i can tell that i can get used to, simply a perception thing. and really i got the quest 2 mainly for putting together a crap level race sim, and that type of disorientation just doesn't happen to me when i try a racing game.
Thx my vr is coming tomorrow
I never got motion sickness this is actually true because a loved vr so much and I’ve seen so many videos I was READY
I just got my quest a couple days ago and have been playing it almost every free moment I had. I did not get even a little bit motion sick even when things would get jittery and laggy.
Got mine yesterday I’m so excited I love it!!!
I’m actually dealing with the motion sickness issue right now. I just got my Oculus 2 this week, and have been enjoying so many games, but I picked up Saints & SInners yesterday and OH MAN…cant play more then a few minutes of moving before feeling out of sorts, I put the blinders on but really trying to get my system used to it. I picked up some ginger drops today so going to see if that helps as well. It’s such an AMAZING game and trying to do everything I can to be able to comfortably play it. I keep going back and forth between asking for a refund or keep it and hope that I will get used to it.
4:08
Me having a mirror over the whole room build in my closet (so i cant move with it): Oh well
when i first played vr i went into super hot. one of my favorite games to play and although i did sweat a lot, i didnt feel sick or felt like i had a headache. not sure if its because i didnt play for too long but i still find it a bit weird.
Thank you for the tips and other. I will be getting my first quest two this Friday
Your videos always appear on my recommended, and i subscribed
I’m getting a oculus quest 2 for Christmas and ur tips help so much thank you
I just got mine, it's awesome
have fun with it!
The fact about oculus giving away a sillicon cover to cover the stock cover (that's a lot of cover) is very cool, can't wait to get it maybe I will do a video on it
im getting a new oculus soon because im a beginner but i still need a cable because I have to have a cable to do steamvr
You don't necessarily need the cable. There is a $20 application called virtual desktop on the quest store you can use as long as you have a decent Wi-Fi connection. The cable is still the best way, but it is not the only way. (:
@@rivervaughanmusicstuff thanks but i still don’t have an oculus yet I’m trying to grind for money💴
I somehow haven't gotten motion sickness once... maybe its because my first "VR" (if you can call it that lmao) experience was with Google Cardboard. From what I know thats the easiest way to get motion sickness. Its been years but from what I remember I didn't get motion sick from that. So I guess you can say I was sorta prepared for when I finally got a real headset, the Quest 2.
Thankfuly I was blessed with the ability to not get motion sickness even the first time I tried vr
I’m getting a meta quest for my birthday and these really help! Thanks.
Thank you this video really helped me out 🙂
3:40
My wall is a mirror and it works perfectly fine but that might be because my tv is covering the controllers from the mirror, but i have walked past myself in passthrough going near the mirror and everything works fine
I wasn't really ever motion sick when playing VR, I did however have a weird sense of derealization, readjusting to walking with my feet and touching my actual environment.
Omg me too. I started questioning actual reality 🤣
After i played my quest the first time when i touch stuff or walk i just question reality
five is cinco in Spanish, thanks on the info. I'm a beginner, and I needed to learn all I can. I learn a lot from this video, thank you. .
i use prescription lenses on my quest 2 and there so nice because well 1 i dont need to use my glasses in vr and 2 if you scratch them you can replace them but there a bit pricey
Im getting it in a week cant wait
how is it?
I Love Your Videos This Is one Of My Favorites
I have played oculus for about a year and a half and I had motion sickness a lot at first and it’s very nice to overcome it
I’m so happy bro! I just got a quest 2 for Christmas and I don’t get motion sick at all
4:42 the psvr can't ever have this problem cuz in you turn around it stops tracking
Little late but I got a headset and didn't get motion sick at all, even when playing Pavlov, hibow, and gunraiders. Very happy about that
tysm im getting one for christmas this is very helpful
This vid. Was really helpful. I’m about to get a oc2
Thanks for these tips I just got my quest 2.
Thanks for the great reviews. Quick question.. what is the racing game that you show yourself playing in this video and others. My husband would love that! It looked like you were playing with the Quest 2 as well. Any info would be appreciated.
As far as the game itself, I don't know the name. He did have the link cable attached and he had the steering wheel setup, so it's a PC VR game.
I think he was playing Project Cars 2, it works very well in VR from what I’ve seen.
To (maybe) solve the cable twisting issue, do the same pulley system thing but only do one pulley, and make it a swivel joint so when you turn, the swivel pulley turns with you
i love this video, pretty entertaining and not boring whatsoever. you should also do a video on the Windows Mixed Reality Vr Headset. I recommend the Samsung Odyssey+ because the older windows mixed reality vr headsets are not as good, plus its pretty good for people with glasses and compatible for a good amount of games.
Hi, i bought an oculus quest 2 today and i got the leather vr cover added with it, it included foam and leather and i'm glad it did bc i sweat so fast from wearing this
Easy way to remember "5" in Spanish, Cinco De Mayo = 5th of May
Get TurnSignal on Steam if you have any HMD with a cable on it. It will do wonders for how long your cable lasts by keeping you aware of how many times you've twisted in a particular direction.
Twisting in both directions is a good habit to get into with VR. Even on a Quest as you'll also want to be doing this if you're using a link cable as well.
VR Cover is worth the expense. I own multiple VR HMDs, and literally the first purchase for every one of them has been a VR Cover since they were thing.
They are more comfortable, allow less light bleeding, and are just far more sanitary.
Also, if you have a controller that uses batteries, get rechargeable batteries. I prefer Lithium Ion batteries, as they have more consistent output as they drain.
ti recently have been seeing your channel, and these tips and tricks are very helpful, as im saving up for a quest 2.
Yes it is possible ive been motion sick with my whole life and when i got my psvr i could only play for 15 min now i can play for hours on end if i dont get a headache
okay so I had PSVR and started with guns and truth (don't do this) the movement was so wonky I fell over and broke it at the end, and after I got a quest it wasn't nearly as bad, although if your really tired you will get VERY motion sick to the point where you feel like your gonna die. If your thinking about getting an oculus and want to know if its good quality or a good starter headset it is. spend your money wisely though and I know thats not of my business but if you only have 200-350 dollars to spend, try to get it for your birthday or Christmas and save that money or spend a bit on store games. review on oculus 9/10 best rating I have given on any game console and thats saying something because I had a playstation and xbox and I have to say, after I got this it quickly became my favorite console and you should get it! hope you enjoy it if you get it.
I had no motion sickness in my first time in VR I was just happy and excited
tip 5 is useful, I'm getting a Rift S Soon (just ordered)
I never felt motion sickness, I did get a feeling in the bottom of the stomach like being in a rollercoaster. It just made it more immersive.
I’m getting my oculus quest 2 tomorrow. Cant wait 😀
nicceee, im ordering one soon aswell.
