Patrick Cox Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Over the past few months I have considered getting a VR head set but now I am having my doubts. If have hear of people suffering a for of sea sickness after using them and after watching several videos made by people wearing VR headsets I have felt uneasy for about half an hour afterwards. As someone who has had experience as a real life pilot the amount of head movement to me is rather excessive. I was always taught that when in the airplane your head movement was from the right slowly across the windshield to the left then an instrument check but head movements with the headsets is so fast I find that my eyes/mind cannot keep up with it.

donbrindles Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Hi Pat. You felt uneasy after just watching people using VR? Probably best avoided! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Have not experienced using VR myself but if, as Aussieman points out the movement speed is excessive I'm not sure I'd be too quick to adopt the technique. I base my opinion on real life IFR flying where rapid head movement can and does induce inner ear fluid movement. This causes the inner ear to produce feedback that can lead to confusion, and a breakdown of the pilots scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Pilot Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Head movement is real life. It puts all of the head tracking software to shame. IMHO Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
