Hi, I found a link which is tells about how we can avoid VR sickness.

Good suggestions for the player but as developers we should take responsibility for reducing it in our games.

A recent title I have played on VR is Rush; this is a Wingsuit simulator so has a lot of very fast movement around objects, especially downwards, yet I haven’t felt any sickness on it. They have a very minimal helmet outline as a fixed reference, and they have constant movement forward (speed can change a bit, but there’s no crazy or sudden accelerations), and they avoid all motion blur.

I think the constant movement forward here is probably the key.

Interestingly Sam you mentioned that teleporting doesn’t work very well in an FPS-style game - I just finished Half-Life:Alyx recently and while it’s certainly not your typical FPS, one movement option is teleport and after a while it felt very natural. The actual combat areas are much more challenging in many ways than if you were just using a screen/keyboard/mouse but it was certainly possible and enjoyable.
