Even if you aren't the kind of person who gets motion sick on a boat or airplane, some VR games may make you feel dizzy or nauseous, ruining what should be a fun experience. These tips can help:

Once you have the basics out of the way, you can start digging into your games' settings. "The best way to avoid sickness is to use the control schemes that work better for each particular type of experience," explains Suarez. "In general, standard video game [thumb stick] controls are the worst of them all, especially when trying to turn your view. It’s more natural to just turn your head.

Suarez also says that keeping a haptic link to your real-world environment may help. "Some people do this by having a clearly distinctive “playing area” on the floor—for example, a thick rug—which will make it very easy to feel with your feet if you are standing in the right place or not." While headsets usually include a virtual "guardian," the more real-world feel of the rug might keep you from feeling too detached from the real world.

Finally, start slowly and don't force yourself if you start to feel sick. While Priesol notes that repeated exposure may lessen the effects over time, taking breaks is key. Suarez recommends listening to your body and acting accordingly: "Start slowly and move to more demanding experiences only after you feel comfortable with the simpler ones.

Hopefully, VR developers will continue to provide as many options to accommodate people prone to motion sickness. Suarez says games that correctly frame the experience and give virtual "anchors"—like a mask overlay for firefighter simulations, or a cockpit around vehicle simulators—can trick your brain more convincingly and making the game world feel real.
