Zhang Daxian covered his mouth, his face turned pale, and his eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and discomfort. It turned out that Zhang Daxian was "3D dizzy"!

After persisting for a while, Zhang Daxian finally couldn't help it and vomited during the live broadcast.

This unexpected situation made fans feel distressed, and they left messages in the barrage to express their concern for his health. Zhang Daxian also quickly paused the live broadcast.

In this regard, some netizens said

I also have 3D sickness

Some people also say,

I've never heard of 3D sickness before.

So, why do we get 3D dizzy?

Can I still play games if I feel 3D dizziness?

Why do I feel 3D dizziness when playing games?

3D vertigo is somewhat similar to motion sickness.

The cause of motion sickness is the vestibular organs in the human ear. The main function of these organs is to sense changes in balance and movement. When we are in a car, we cannot avoid the shaking and bumping as well as the sudden stop caused by the brakes. Some people's vestibular organs are more sensitive, and this stimulation will exceed the tolerance range of the vestibular organs. At this time, the vestibular organs will transmit a lot of chaotic signals to the brain, and the brain will instruct the body to produce dizziness, forcing the body to stop moving to ensure safety.

3D vertigo is also called electronic motion sickness, which is a self-protection measure of the human body. When we play 3D games or watch 3D movies, the optic nerve senses large-scale and high-frequency movements. If the game images are not so realistic, the nerve center will automatically identify the falseness of the movement and inhibit the nerve impulses transmitted by the vision. Its formation is related to sensory mismatch, but the situation is slightly different from motion sickness and seasickness.

When playing 3D games, the images seen by the eyes come from the electronic screen. The images on the screen are constantly moving, so the signal sent by the eyes to the brain is "we are moving". But the signal captured by the vestibular system in the ear is that our body is sitting on the sofa motionless. However, because the images are realistic, the nerve center believes it to be true. At the same time, other motion receptors (such as the vestibular apparatus of the ear) do not feel any movement. This situation is very contradictory to the nerve center. Therefore, the nerve center strongly sends out dizziness commands, hoping that the human body can stop and get rid of this situation. The information transmitted by the eyes and the vestibular system is contradictory, resulting in a mismatch of sensory organs, causing symptoms similar to motion sickness and seasickness. If it is more serious, it will cause nausea and vomiting.

So, if your friend vomits while playing a game, it doesn’t mean that the game is not fun, he may have electronic motion sickness.

How to relieve motion sickness

Different players have different adaptations to different games. Generally speaking, players can adjust the frame rate, turn on or off motion blur, adjust the field of view, change the lens sensitivity, or artificially create some scenes to temporarily "detach" the brain from the game environment. For example, standing farther away from the screen, looking around frequently while playing, and not staring too intently at the game screen, etc., all of which can help relieve dizziness and nausea. In more serious cases, you should stop playing the game and take a proper rest.

Another strategy is to relieve the tension caused by sensory conflict: As we just mentioned, the brain often "feels" that there is something wrong with the body, which starts to make you feel nauseous and uncomfortable; accordingly, if you can provide a comfortable sensory environment, it can not only divert attention, but the symptoms of dizziness will also be alleviated due to the relatively comfortable situation.

Specifically, you can relieve electronic motion sickness by listening to soothing music (hearing), looking into the distance (vision), turning on a fan to blow a breeze (touch), preparing some pleasant smells (taste), etc.

Because the sensory conflict process involves the transmission of many nerve signals, or nausea caused by histamine secretion, anticholinergic and antihistamine drugs can often effectively reduce motion sickness, and of course, can also avoid 3D sickness. However, it should be noted that if you want to take medicine, it is recommended to consult a doctor before taking it.

However, as you may know, motion sickness pills can cause drowsiness. If you have symptoms of electronic motion sickness, you should take a rest instead of forcing yourself to take motion sickness pills and play games. After all, for ordinary people like us, playing games is for entertainment and relaxation.

To be honest, this game is really good, as it can make the anchor vomit. "Black Myth: Wukong" is a dark horse in our Chinese gaming circle. It shocked the entire gaming circle as soon as the trailer came out. Its picture quality is comparable to top foreign 3A masterpieces, and the operation design is also very unique. Coupled with the addition of traditional Chinese cultural elements, it can be said to be quite attractive.
