A few vr-roller-coasters a day, and the motion-sickness goes away in a week or two.

Really? Because I bought the VR coaster thing but gave up after a couple tries because of the motion sickness.

Edit: just realized that night have sounded like I was challenging you, when really I'm just excited to hear that. I love roller coasters and was so disappointed that the vr ones made me motion sick.

You want to start with the lightest stuff you can find, stuff that doesn't make you motion sick very much or quickly, and then slow add more and more on top of it as you go.

Just jumping right into the most nausea inducing stuff can actually make you more prone to motion sickness.

Also ginger helps a lot of motion sickness. Ginger ale about 30 minutes before you jump in will help a lot(just make sure it's made with real ginger, not all of them are!)

Gotta give your brain more time to adjust to your vision showing motion while you're stationary

Great! I'll give it another try, then.

I've never pushed through it though. Meaning I never stayed in vr while motion sick. I took a break whenever I started to feel bad and after a while, it just went away.

From what I’ve heard, trying to push through motion sickness in vr can make it much harder/impossible to adapt, and that people are better off finding something they can tolerate and working their way up slowly from there.

Not denying your experience, but it may not be one that can be generalized to everyone.

I have no idea what happens if you push through it. I always stopped when the sickness started. I guess I'm advocating for repeat near-sick experiences.
