VR Comfort - Additional Settings

To make the VR experience more comfortable for users who are sensitive to light and motion, IMMERSE offers additional settings.

Updated this week

Our dedicated in-house team rigorously tests every update, scene, and interaction to prevent discomfort. They meticulously analyze visual flow, speed, and spatial consistency to ensure a seamless, comfortable experience. Your comfort is our priority, allowing you to fully immerse yourself without worry.

⚠️ Make sure you understand the basics before diving into these personalized settings.

Movement

If you’re prone to feeling ill in VR, you likely already know that teleporting to move in IMMERSE is a better bet than sliding. This is because teleporting better aligns with how our senses process movement when our physical body is stationary. But did you know there are additional controls to help prolong your time in IMMERSE and make your experience more comfortable?

To Access Movement Settings Menu While in a Scene:

  1. Press X on LEFT Controller

  2. Click > Settings

  3. Click > Movement

  4. Scroll down to view full menu

Rotation

To fully enjoy virtual reality and minimize motion sickness, try to keep your head still and use the right joystick to rotate your view. This can create a smoother and more comfortable experience! Choose from the options below:

Snap

Quarter-turn increments allow for instant body rotation without visual gliding. This option offers maximum comfort if you have heightened sensitivity.

Motion

To enhance immersion while preventing motion sickness, smoothly turn your body in eighth-turn increments. This method retains the crisp, "snap" movements that counteract visual gliding.

Smooth

Full rotational movement enhances the immersive experience, creating a truly dynamic and engaging visual journey. However it may be the least comfortable long term if you tend to experience motion sickness.

⚙️Adjusting Height

Adjust your avatar's height to match your real-life posture by clicking sitting or standing. If you transition from standing to sitting within a life scene, remember to click the "reset height" button that appears after selecting sitting.


Other Features

These additional settings are located in the Accessibility portion of your settings menu. Accessible in a scene by following the steps below, or from your Homeroom by clicking on the gear icon.

  1. Press X on LEFT Controller

  2. Click > Settings

  3. Click > Accessibility

Comfort Assistance

When moving, you can narrow your field of view with a “tunnel vision” effect. This reduces peripheral motion, which can make movement feel more comfortable and help delay motion sickness. Increasing the comfort assistance level will make the black vignette (shadow) more prominent, further decreasing your field of view.

Footstep Vibration (Haptic Feedback)

While in slide mode, activate this setting to enhance your immersive experience with haptic feedback. This feature adds vibration to your footsteps, delivered through your controllers. You can choose to feel feedback in both feet or favor one side over the other.
