Do you ever get headaches, eye strain, momentary loss of balance, momentary blurred or double vision, nausea?
Nope, nothing. I have never gotten motion sickness though in my entire life. That only weird thing is that after a long period of play time. Real life can look a bit weird like my brain has to adjust. It looks the same as like I've had a small amount of weed that's almost worn off but its gone in 5 minutes.
I'm interested in these side effects. Could you by any chance be more specific in describing how real life looks weird? Flashing lights, deformed/deforming shapes, loss of depth perception, loss os spatial awareness, objects feeling larger or smaller than they really are, still seeing glimpses of elements from of the game even when not using the headset?
I experience something similar, but it's nothing extreme, harmful, or anything like that. It just takes a short while to adjust back to it.
Do you ever run on a treadmill? Do you remember the first few times you got on a treadmill, and immediately after you got off of the treadmill things were a little weird; like your body was performing an action that should propel you forward, but you were not moving forward, so when you get off the treadmill it sort of looks like the world is moving forward?
Maybe a better analogy would be like going to see a long movie in a movie theatre. You're sitting in the dark for a long, watching a lot of movement and focused on a fixed area, then all of a sudden the movie is over and the lights are on and you stand up and need to leave; takes a few seconds to sort of get your bearings because you've been stationary, but at the same time witnessing a lot of action, movement, and scenery on a screen.
It's sort of like that. You're in a game doing all these movements, and sometimes you might be in a cavernous area or something, but then when you take the headset off you are in your room and it's like "Woh, I'm not in some huge outdoor area, I'm in my room".
