VR nausea (Virtual Reality Nausea)

VR nausea, also known as cybersickness, occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals between visual input from the virtual environment and the body's physical sensations. For example, your eyes may see movement in VR, but your inner ear and body remain still, causing confusion in the brain's balancing systems. This mismatch can lead to symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, and discomfort. Factors influencing VR nausea include rapid motion, poor graphics quality, long exposure, and individual sensitivity. Developers aim to minimize these effects through smoother visuals, better tracking, and user comfort adjustments.
