  @NatalyaD@disabled.social @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Humans use half a dozen or so visual clues to identify distance. Focal depth, relative movement, binocular separation, and so on. Different individuals weight these differently. VR headsets are very good at some of them but not at others. If you’re one of the, roughly, 20% of people who make strong use of some of the signals that the headsets can’t recreate, they make you motion sick. It’s really hard to see a product when, roughly, one in five people who tries it in a showroom experiences intense nausea. Augmented reality is much better because most of the things in the scene are real and few people have problems with the occasional not-quite-right thing in their vision (some do, but I think the number is under 1%).
