I'm picking up good vibrations................

prevents motion sickness by sending subtle vibrations through the inner ear to the brain.
Wonder if it could help with tinnitus?

this is NOT a slam on the military!

But it is singularly interesting that the private sector — gaming/entertainment, no less — has solved a problem that has affected millions of service people across decades.

I am willing to wager hard dollars that the military and government has dedicated millions of dollars and thousands of man hours across innumerable Task Forces (or wherever the military calls its initiatives) trying to “fix” this.

But it was a bunch of VR users (I am one and you could not pry my headset off of me with a crowbar) who suffered discomfort enough to return a product for a refund to create this breakthrough.

I love innovation in its purest form.

I have cured cramps at night. Sleep with a bar of soap under your bedsheet. Try it, you will be surprised.

I tried that bit with limited success.

Of course, it was a hot blond instead of a bar of soap and it wasn’t my leg cramping up so some of that may be my fault.

Funny you mention that.

I was thinking, I used to be able to ride any amusement park ride. Then, I started getting motion sickness. Even when watching vids on Youtube that move around too much.

I wondered if it might have started when my tinnitus started.

I thought the same thing!..................

Several years ago a visiting missionary played a video he took while walking through a marketplace for our Awana kids. I had to close my eyes after the first few minutes, but it was too late. The bouncing camera left me sick for over an hour.

When I was a kid my favorite rides were the octopus, the scrambler and the tilt a whirl. Those days are long gone.

The only movie that ever made me nauseous from screen movement was an hour of a bobbing raft in Alfred Hitchcock's “Lifeboat”.

When travelling by car, you be the driver and you won’t get sick.

Don’t eat a bunch of junk food before riding carnival rides. Walk around a lot between rides.

I’ve never gotten motion sickness on land, but got woozy on a deep sea fishing boat once..................

Stick to the middle of ships. Boats, stick to the sides so you can upchuck overboard.

Please put me on the tinnitus ping list thanks

[Chickensoup]

whoops I am already on it

[Red Badger]

Or don’t eat a heavy breakfast before you go fishing!.................

Astronauts have a big problem with motion sickness. This could help get the new space force off the ground. ‘Course, let’s not lie, there are a lot of other problems (loss of bone mass, vision problems, mental problems, etc.), but this might solve one of them at least.

[Red Badger]

One problem at a time!..............
