The writer's initial experience with VR gaming left them feeling nauseous due to the disconnect between what their eyes saw and what their body felt. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta aims to create a "metaverse," but motion sickness remains a significant issue in VR. They tested Meta's Quest 3 headset, which offers mixed reality by blending virtual and real-world elements. Priced at $499, it proved to be less nauseating compared to previous VR experiences. The writer tried various games and found that mixed reality significantly reduced discomfort. Meta believes that better graphics and reduced latency will further improve the VR experience, but individual tolerance varies. Mixed reality may offer a more comfortable alternative for those prone to VR sickness. Mixed reality is still very new, with few games. But maybe it is the solution for people like me who like the idea of playing games virtually but don't have the stomach for it.
