Apart from choosing the right hardware, both VR headset, a superfast PC, you need to take certain precautions which will help you fix this problem. However, do remember that if you are constantly involved in wrong hardware, the sickness will show up again.
Take breaks when in VR: Many VR games have situations where you don’t need to take any action. It could be a break, a cutscene or anything similar. You can close your eyes during these scenarios. That way, your eyes, and your inner year will come into sync.
Keep Breathing: It’s not a big deal to miss some breathing when playing a game. I played few intense Xbox Games, and after finishing, I would take a long deep breath. Usually, the body chooses to take a shallow breath when you are in a rush, and you need to take care of this in VR as well, as you do in a workout. Deep breathing is important here.
Sit & Play: Many VR games don’t need you to stand, and play. All they need is hand movement or minimal body movement. Play those games while sitting in a comfortable, and safe chair. Make sure to choose your chair correctly. You don’t want to pick up a plastic chair which gets out of balance easily. Instead see if you can get on a sofa, and make sure the floor doesn’t hurt much. You will have no idea of the real world when in VR.
Change View distance or FOV: Don’t play the VR games up close. Keep the view at a distance. VR headsets do allow you to change this view distance of FOV and find distance which is comfortable for you. Move around a bit, and see if your body response is positive, if not further adjust till you find it.
A cool comfortable environment: When gaming in VR, set it up at a place which comforts you. An AC room is preferred so when your body gets high, the external cool temperature can take care of it. You do not want to play in an environment which makes you sweat, and heats you up.
Take regular breaks: VR is addictive, just like any gaming, and you need to take regular breaks just like in gaming. Anything which is pro-longed draws too much energy from body and mind. You need to come back the real world to find your balance. A small break, pause games, a longer break after an intense session of the game helps.
Focus on a point: When playing intensive games, you need to look here, and there. This causes dizziness. Say, for example, a roller coaster VR game can do that. The best way to beat the dizziness is to focus on point for few seconds or even a minute. Maybe look down at your leg or shoes if the scenes are constantly changing around you. This will reduce the dizziness.
Get your body ready for VR: If you are new to VR, then don’t jump into a game of high intensity. Start slow, and give your body some time to adjust to it. Download some free VR games which helps you, and your body understands whats going around in VR. You will still need to follow everything I had said above.
Ask the experts: This applies to almost everything in life, any life, virtual or real. There is this super Reddit thread where a consumer fixed his VR sickness by adding overlay in his view. Those opaque/semi-transparent borders reduced his nausea and headache. More on this on ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Lastly, if nothing helps, seek a Doctor. Don’t be scared, and it’s mostly in a worst-case scenario. You may have to take precautions for few days, but things will be alright.
I hope this is helpful.
