playing a 3d shooter for 5 minutes before he gets motion sick.. weird

Hi!
Same with me and my wife. I used to play Unreal/Half-Life very often,
sometimes during the whole day (I'm a student, you know ;) ). I also race
whole gp-distances in my lan-league without any problem.
But when my wife watches me doing this, she gets sick within minutes. Weird
thing is: If she's on the wheel and controls the car herself, she doesn't
get sick at all. Seems to be the theory that if you can grab sth or control
the motion yourself, your brain doesn't mind.
We once were in the local IMAX theater where they showed a 3D-movie. You had
to wear those polarizing glasses and the effect was very good. My wife had
to watch 3/4 of the movie without the glasses, though ;).
Regards
Crash
My 2 cents.

Well throwing up wise, Motocross Madness 2 with the on-bike view.
I actually ride MX bikes, and it made me a little queasy. :-)

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

Same here, Don, and not just for the motion.
Something about running around shooting people just doesn't tickle my fancy.

I'm almost sure its the *** around of the frame of reference in most people
who feel dizzy; for him, it's the up and down.

I noticed further down in the thread, you said that you don't play
them often. I've loved FPS's, starting way back with Wolf 3D, and
never really had a problem with them, right up to current games.
I recently started playing network games with a buddy that never
played computer games until recently. We started right up with Quake 2
and Half Life, and it would mess him up so bad that he would literally
stagger when he stood up. He'd get nauseous, and walk around almost
like he was drunk for a good minute after standing.
This feeling passed permanently after a few long sessions of various
FPS games.
I think jumping right into a current FPS with head bob, etc can mess
anyone up for the first couple hours of play, but it will be overcome.
If you really like FPS's, try playing one that lets you toggle the
head bob, and play it off and on as much as you can stand. You'll
eventually overcome the motion sickness.
