Why even basic accessories can make virtual reality seem real
I’m sitting in a chair made by a startup called BRAINFIZZVR that vibrates. It’s subtle, but it’s enough to convince my body to join my mind in the virtual space station.
Stompz, a startup that makes motion sensors you strap to your feet. ... Just face your body in one direction and lift your legs up and down, and you move forward in virtual reality. Mismatched real and virtual motion can be a recipe for nausea, but I didn’t find that to be the case with Stompz. There wasn’t any vertigo either.
