Makes sense, Beat Saber is very active but also mostly stationary full-body. Don’t overthink it, just allow rest periods and your brain will probably figure it out.

Basically yes, do as much as you can take and then try do more the next day. After a week or two you should be fine (though some people never are).

Maybe also favour games that have the comfort vignette options, which black out parts of the screen when you move or turn. These options help with motion sickness. Not sure if Skyrim has this on by default?

Some people say this helps:

But if walking in place didn’t help, then it probably won’t.

Blowing a fan in your face is another one I’ve read helps.

A related problem with VR: does anyone else get eye strain after an hour of playing?

I would get eye strain playing any type of VR game after an hour (sometimes even half an hour). I suspect the reason is that I had a fixed IPD headset and I was probably cross-eyeing a little to focus the lenses while playing. It is one of the reasons I stopped playing VR as I want to take care of my eyesight. Anyone else get this with the IPD correctly set?

5262

A mismatched IPD will do that. Quest 2 is kind of a problem here, it only had 3 notches so if you fall between them it’s a little uncomfortable. But you can work around the 3 notches not having that much range by moving it closer or farther from your eyes (via a spacer or swapping out the cover to move it closer).

5263

I’ve been playing hours at a time without an issue. I fall in the middle range of the Quest 2 ipd, so I don’t know if that helps or not.

5264

I’m mostly playing Alyx now so I’ll see what options it has, thanks. I didn’t think of that even though Google Earth has vignette. Moving there doesn’t bother me, but then I’m hovering above the ground so maybe that helps.

5265

If I’m too tired I can’t do VR at all because my eyes seem to weak to handle the poor focus. I’m hoping having my eyeballs closer, or the lenses add-on will fix this. I just got up this morning and would like to get into VR, but being so tired, everything - even the sweet spot, would be incredibly blurry.

5266

I was able to play with continuous move in HL:Alyx for about an hour. At first I felt weird with every movement. Then I started to feel OK when moving straight and slowly. Strafing still feels weird, as does walking up steps when I’m kinda bouncing up and down. I’m tolerating faster walking speeds a bit better too.

After an hour (I know I long time when I’m trying to get used to it) I had a slight headache and just felt a little icky, so I stopped. But, I tolerated it much better than I expected and much better than my brief time with continuous move in Skyrim VR. When I play later today I may switch back to teleport just so I don’t over do it.

It is more immersive than teleport, but it didn’t make as big a difference as I was expecting. Easier to back up around a corner for sure.

5267

I think people that do a lot of ice skating would be better at handling continuous move than anyone else :)

Hey maybe Jeff :-)

Doom3 on the Quest2 is pretty nifty.

5270

This game looks very nice

I have a question about how the HMD supposed to sit on your head (HP G2). Is it supposed to be parallel (eyes to where it sits on the back of your head)? Or is it supposed to sit lower, so it pulls down on your cheeks below your eyes a bit, and sits down quite a ways on the back of your head?

5272

Did Dr. Beef release it?

5273

yes.5

5274

What is sidequest?

5275

Really, whatever gives you the clearest image. I get the clearest image with it sitting a bit lower than I’d naturally put it.

On your other question, Sidequest involves installing software on the Oculus Quest. Not pertinent to G2 users. :)

5276

Typically, on the Quest you can only install official stuff from Oculus/FB. If you want to “sideload” unofficial stuff you can use SideQuest to do it.

5277

A software for your pc that serves to as a secondary app store for the Quest. You connect it via usb cable and it will install the app files through it.

Facebook is having a very constrained, ‘curated’ approach to their store, so on it there are some apps not allowed by them.
To make possible install unofficial stuff like that, first you need to setup your Quest in developer mode.

5278

So is warplanes available somewhere official? I can’t find it on Steam.
