Roto VR Explorer Is A 360° Chair That Moves When You Turn In-Game (www.uploadvr.com)

Marking the first chair to join the 'Made For Meta' accessory program, Roto VR Explorer is a VR chair with a leather seat, back supports, adjustable seat height, and a footrest for comfort when rotating 360°. The chair moves when you turn direction in-game using “Look & Turn” technology, an approach Roto VR believes can help solve motion sickness issues with locomotion and 360º viewing.

Not entirely sure if this helps with motion sickness or makes it worse. When I first started playing VR I was too exhausted to keep standing and used a rotating chair for a bit, which pretty much instantly made me sick.

That was basically the only time I got sick, I don’t have an issue with loopings, flying, etc. Could just be that I wasn’t as used to it yet though.

I looked into getting a sim rig for vr since i get motion sick from driving/flying games, and saw several people saying that unless both the rig movement and headset tracking are extremely precise it will make motion sickness worse in vr. I guess something similar would be true for rotating chairs

It definitely looks like an interesting idea, but yeah it could be really bad. Perhaps it does work though, in that case it‘s mix of sitting and physically turning. I guess we’ll see
