Motion and VR - Were doing it all wrong!

Note the first video - These guys have got VR and motion all sorted out - were obviously doing it all wrong.

Too much pitch!
They should send us their profile settings

I sometimes wonder if I'd get more out of VR if I didnt understand the technology behind it.

(Like those people running out of a cinema at the first "oncoming" video of a steam train)

It is so funny to watch people experience VR for the first time. That simply shows how immersive it is. It is also true that we don't even realise it while in VR. I was flying a chopper in DCS in VR some time ago, when I put my oculus rift off, my mum asked me my neck wasn't painfull. Apparentely I was making many head moves while flying

how to set the parameters to make the user feel less dizzy in VR?

I don't believe there is an easy answer for that question. Dizziness comes from a difference between your internal ear, and what you see in the VR headset. You brain believes it is moving, but you body isn't. The goal of a motion platform is to reproduce as much as possible all moves you could feel IRL. The more DOF, the better I think. I personnaly started a 6DOF of freedom project for that purpose. Then, it is all a matter of settings indeed to make your seat move you way you would move IRL. You can get close to real moves with a 6DOF motion platform. But keep in mind that it is very hard to "simulate" acceleration (don't expect to get 9G for instance
But then again, to answer you question, the parameters depends on a lot of variable (including your own motion platform hardware) so there is no simple answer.
Oh and by the way, there is something essential to feel less dizzy: Make sure your simulator / game always run with decent FPS in order to have a smooth feeling.

I've found as long as you keep the velocity constant and acceleration 0 you have a bit of flexibility to how you can move the user.
I talked to the founder of Big Robot (who is focused on VR locomotion) and his insights were spot on.
