This Week in Tech discussed an article about why Virtual Reality may face some major hurdles to wide acceptance - mainly because it makes a lot of people sick!

I sympathize. I taught aerobatics and was never much bothered by nausea. Link Trainers and other simulators never bothered me. But playing certain video games gets me felling woozy in fairly short order*. And I got Google Cardboard for my birthday. Quite impressive for what it is, but after "walking around" some cities with it for about 10 minutes, I got quite nauseated - did not throw up but took me about an hour to get back to normal. Not very eager to try it again!
Curious about other's reactions to some of these new devices, and how widespread the problem is.
*A racing game called "Cro-Mag Rally" was especially bad in that regard.
