Motion Comfort & Safety Guide

 This is a collection i’ve made for those who are new to VR, or just curious. When I first got into VR, most of the people I saw on YouTube and read about on the internet were not affected by Motion Discomfort… so they would really never mention it. Since not everyone is affected by it and it’s triggered differently for some, it’s rarely mentioned. I wanted to share what I’ve learned about Motion Discomfort and Safety in VR. I hope you find this informational.
