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.

When movement does not match what you are seeing you are going to have problems.

Yeah, but both for a regular chair that rotates and this one that shouldn’t be the issue, since you’re actually turning. I think I initially got sick because of the "walking forward in game and swiveling around in real live".

I think this is for the games where you turn using a thumbstick or similar, and wouldn't otherwise rotate physically.
