If the camera is moving in the 360\u00b0 video (e.g. mounted on a moving wheelchair or another person's helmet), your eyes see the movement, but your inner ear (balance) senses that you are standing still. The brain evaluates this discrepancy as annoyance and induces nausea.<\/p>\n<p>V <b>Real-time VR (6DOF)<\/b> the camera only moves when you move. When you take a step, the scene shifts.
