Valve is working on BCI technology that will solve motion sickness issues, and increase the immersion further (eventually to the sci-fi / Ready Player One level)

If a person gets motions sickness when on a real boat, how is a VR headset supposed to cancel that?

I’m not talking about the “bug” that some people experience where it makes them sick, just using the headset…I’m talking about immersion.

Either way, I’m excited for the next steps in that article.

By directly suppressing the issue inside your brain. You could wear a similar BCI without the display part on a boat and use it to cancel out the sickness.

Basically the problem has to do with ethics and safety when having a direct communication with the brain.

I think you are reading into it too much, they are talking about the artificial sickness caused by the disassociation of a headset; not actual motion sickness from real life motion.
