I think most people could break it in, but are reluctant to keep playing or play again once they feel sick doing it.

The article author reports trying twice: first a rollercoaster, and then a racing game. Then cites a study about people getting sick in their first 15 minutes of use.

I think you’re right, but some people just aren’t going to give it another try. I think this tech is likely to be one of those big generational dividers that old people just won’t tolerate (like computers or cell phones, or the thousands of prior things).

Yeah for most people getting the desire to throw up is going to prevent any future use of VR. Even if it’s known to get better after it’s still a case of “Oh it gets better, you just haven’t suffered enough yet” which is a deal people understandably don’t want to take
