Understanding Quest 3

Seems like you are sensitive to VR?
I had this issue when I was starting out way back with the HTC Vive and a little bit later on with the Reverb G2 on racing games. I believe I eventually developed a bit of resistance. Just like when I started out with TrackIR and would get neck pains/stiffness after extended play, but later on was no longer an issue.I guess at the end of the day, it’ll be up to you if you stick with it or go back to TIR. Personally, doing formation flying and AAR on a triple screen setup with the fisheye effect and doing the same on VR, it’s a no brainer for me and now I’m doing all I can to make VR as configured to my preferences as possible.

@Atlas
yes
I’m very sensitive.
The experience of being “inside” the cockpit was incredible, too much problems.
I bought it just for Falcon BMS, no other interest in VR, so instead than let rusting inside the box i prefer to have money back and maybe get a better joystick and throttle. -
@69tantra
Was it laggy/slow? Or just VR nausea? -
Usually nausea (at first) is caused by system performance not quite being able to keep up, so you get lag in movements (often barely perceptible) which really messes with you until you’re a more seasoned VR user when you might be able to put up with it more.
For BMS, turning down / off aliasing and object detail is often a good starting point to help with performance. Or just try a lower VR resolution (not the in game one)

@Atlas just VR nausea, no lag or slow movements
@rubbra i don’t know if is a bad system performance (i don’t think so), but a couple months ago i went to cinema with my son for “madame web” movie and that kind pictures (i don’t know the exact english term for the way which the director moves cams) made e get out after the first half.

Sensitive it is then. I remember when I first started out, I needed to have a fan on all the time so that my face and body could get ventilation. I would also drink water before and during VR play. -
@69tantra - I have been using a Quest 2 for over a year and Quest 3 fir the last two months - whilst you may not be interested in VR if you want any chance of really enjoying this awesome kit I would recommend 1. Play some VR games whilst sitting - there are a number of good games that will help train your body - over a period of time most people get used to it and then you can enjoy. Secondly - reseach the best settings so that you get good performance - run the headset on 120mhz refresh and play around this settings to get a smooth experience - both of these will reduce the sickness. Lastly - I have found that virtual desktop (assuming you have a really good wi-fi connection) gives better performance than a wired connection.

@DeckardSixFour
thanks for your reply
Anyway i sent back the Quest to the factory.
If i remember back in the days i was feeling some sickness even 20 years ago playing FPS like S.W.A.T. or similar.
Probably i need to much training for VR, but i prefer at this point training harder on BMS with TrackIR -
@69tantra
As someone who played BMS with TrackIR and triple monitors, the issue here is the fisheye effect as BMS only does one “view” which is stretched out… and depending on the horizontal width + FOV setting, the fisheye effect can get worse. This makes formation flying an issue or really gauging distance on anything in the peripherals.I wish I could stay with my triple screen setup as I was using Helios too — moving to VR, I have to find new solutions to new problems, but natural head/eye movement, no fisheye, it’s just a whole different experience. Being able to judge distance and closure rates are much easier too.
Hope you give VR another chance later on!
