This discomfort in the use of virtual reality can be one of the keys in turning this technology into a mass market, this could even beat making its prices more accessible.
As Luckey explained, his solution is a combination of "hardware and software" that he will offer as "open access design this year." As he explains, he does not know if there are other people working on a solution for this type of problems
Luckey's forecasts are that in the next five years a "universal solution for the discordance of the oculovestibular reflex in virtual reality" can be offered, which is considered the main cause of dizziness among users.
