Oculus with Nose?

[Phoenix]

Hi,

honestly, I don't know what I should give on this: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/03/virtual-noses-keep-real-world-vr-sickness-at-bay/

This is a study that shows that people get statistically significantly less motion sick in VR sims when the sim shows a virtual nose in the corner of the peripheral vision.

What do you think? Should the Elite: Dangerous Oculus support also include a virtual nose or not?

Could probably be achieved with an overlay.

Never had an issue with sickness, but the body position isn't stable enough to have a fixed nose anyway is it? My rift jumps regularly and presumably so too would my nose!
Just imagine the snot!

Honestly that would be reason for me to never get an Oculus Rift...

No nose for me, I certainly wouldn't want anything occupying my viewing area, probably end up going cross eyed looking at the flaming thing

No, due to weird things about my vision, an extra fake nose would be problematic.

I don't get motionsick, so I don't want a nose...... but if I did get motionsick I would try anything to help with the condition.
.
I also bet that most people who get motionsick will not have purchased an Oculus yet (because they've heard you can get motionsick), so your poll is unfortunately biased to the answer 'no nose' simply because you've posted it in a place where most people don't get motionsick.
.
I have no problem with other people having a nose in their view, as long as I don't have to have one in mine.

I'm pretty sure this is an early April fools gag.

Ha, the optigrab.

Can I have a nosebag?

This is me trying out the Occulus at an Eve: Valkyrie event last year. I had been drinking I'm afraid.

There's an IPD challenge!

Rockin' a fake nose is not for the faint of heart- even Tycho Brahe found it tricky.
