this is NOT a slam on the military!
But it is singularly interesting that the private sector — gaming/entertainment, no less — has solved a problem that has affected millions of service people across decades.
I am willing to wager hard dollars that the military and government has dedicated millions of dollars and thousands of man hours across innumerable Task Forces (or wherever the military calls its initiatives) trying to “fix” this.
But it was a bunch of VR users (I am one and you could not pry my headset off of me with a crowbar) who suffered discomfort enough to return a product for a refund to create this breakthrough.
I love innovation in its purest form.
I have cured cramps at night. Sleep with a bar of soap under your bedsheet. Try it, you will be surprised.
Yeah...and two bicycle mechanics invented the airplane. Go figure.
Using my VR, there was an initial motion problem but after a half hour or so, the feeling of dizziness was gone.
What I dislike about VR is the low resolution of the images that makes you feel like you need to be wearing glasses for nearsightedness, but aren’t. Another problem is that when wearing my glasses with the headset on, it pushed my glasses back towards my eyes, resulting in a buildup of oil on the glasses lens from being brushed by my eyelashes. I have to stop periodically to cleaned the blurring smear off. IMO, VR is not ready for prime-time.
