i have my VR legs having played racing games and ED for the past few months. I’m not a heavy drinker, but I went out on Friday on a Christmas do and got steaming drunk. The last time I was this drunk was a millennium party 17 years ago which rendered me incapable of removing my trousers. Normally a heavy drinking session would be followed by a day of abject misery, feeling awful and puking.

I think somehow VR has helped. I woke up Saturday morning and even though the room was spinning until around 10:30 I had no associated nausea, literally nothing. I felt a bit groggy, but some scrambled eggs and toast with strong Black coffeee put me straight. My theory is my brain has been trained to disassociate visual movement from physical movement, therefore bypassing the “motion sickness” nausea. I’m wondering whether VR could be the cure for motion sickness.

Please feel free to test my theory over the coming festive period. Merry Xmas everyone.
 
My mum struggled, did all the demo stuff with her, no movement she was fine. Put a racing game on and she went around paddock hill bend at Brands Hatch slowly, as soon as she went down into the dip she had to take off the headset and go outside for some fresh air. I genuinely think VR has changed something, no way would I have been lying in bed staring at a ceiling spinning at 100mph previously...but this time I didn't even feel slightly queasy, very odd.
