6. Me, tiny bit but it passed quickly. But I don't tend to get dizzy that easy ...

I can, for example, read for about 1/2 hour when riding in a car.

I've thrown it on 3 other people so far. 2 did fine, 1 got dizzy ... but he says he gets dizzy/car/seasick really easy.

I would not try to make that Star Wars game your first VR experience. I'd get used to it for awhile doing the workouts. I haven't played it but I would guess a game where you're flying would be the sort that would be most likely to cause dizziness.

Easiest games to handle at first are the kind where you can 'warp' from place to place ... meaning you put a target on the ground, press a button, and zap to that spot. Or if you don't really have to move at all, there's games you play seated where everything's just in front of you ... like imagine a chess game in VR. There's more fun stuff than that (like the game Moss) but that's the general idea.

Games where moving one of your joysticks propels you around like it would in 2D game tend to be more prone to making people dizzy, I think it's because your body doesn't 'feel' you moving, but it LOOKS like you are. That can be tougher to get used to.

But as you use it you'll adapt and get less prone to getting dizzy even if you start out that way. That's how it is for most people anyway.
