So, next we set up our U-boat game. And this sold me. We've all been playing subsims for years, and the ocean and sky portrayed in the games are fun to look at and we like to imagine we are out to sea aboard a sub. Well, with VR, you are really "there". All around you are huge waves, some higher that the deck. The boat has scale, it feels like you are standing on it. And without any way to resist, your body immediately tries to compensate for the "swaying" deck, the motion of the waves. You know you are in a room miles from the coast, but the VR is so compelling your body says, "Nuh uh, I know what I am doing and this is necessary for the place you've taken us to".

Well (damn!) i'm not doing VR with a pacemaker at age 65...too many variables; and i'm already deaf! Those depth-charge attacks could cause seizures for '1 in 4,000' people! The 'true cost' may B a little iffy statistically: 117266 captains /4000 =30
