When you turn your head, the vestibular system in your ears helps your brain to determine where it is in space, what direction its pointing at, what angle, etc.

Your eyes need to exactly match what your brain is expecting to see thanks to info from the vestibular system. If instead it gets a mismatch, your brain thinks it is poisoned and prompts your stomach to eject the poison and make you throw up.

The mismatch might be caused by speed. Your computer may be too slow to update the Vive fast enough. Try experimenting with settings to get the best speed you can.

Good luck!
Hey,
It's not a speed thing, my computer is plenty fast. With sitting down games like racing or flying I get sick *instantly*. On games like Accounting, or The Lab or any shit like where you are moving normally it's perfectly fine. The only thing that bothers me about those is kind of "loss of sense of self" so to speak. If I play for an hour or two and then take it off, I get worried i will walk into an invisible wall when i'm walking through the house or suddenly feel like I need to teleport instead of walk. I have issues with anxiety/panic attacks and I think the VR experience kind of triggers them.
