Women, as mentioned previously, are more likely than men to get VR sick. Asian people are more likely than other ethnicities to experience motion sickness in general.

~~It doesn't make sense. Also, I can't see any scientific evidence or sources that underpins this article mentioned. It's kinda racist, in a sense.~~

This proved to be a fact. My apologies.

You've got to get used to using new technologies. When iPhone was first introduced, people confused that there's no button to control things in the screen. The same thing is happening here.

I get sick playing 1st person shooters. Like thief back in the day. Not even in a headset....literally sitting there. So it's not about getting used to technologies.

You will get used to it, if you do that several times, but I understand that 1st person shooter cause dizziness sometimes.
