saintmichaeld on 10 Apr 14This is more of a story than an article (I chose to not include it), if anything. Probably just some cheap click bait. anyways, let's get reading... There seems to be a direct link to nausea, and gender differences. Females have different depth perception and react differently to visual images. There are also sex hormones in the eye, so while you age, your ability to grasp and complete simple depth based tasks diminishes a bit, because hormones are constantly being released which interferes. Getting back to VR, oculus rift's technology which try to create a 3D visual, calculate where your eyes are at in order to show you how the scene should look from that position. Thereofre, if your eyes are faulty, there could be complications. Women are more likely to have complications in their eyes, so the author of this article makes a loosely based assumption saying oculus rift is sexist. I'm not sure why oculus rift would want to eliminate having a wider target audience, and hurt any specific gender groups. But, the title of this article is a question, and the author did end up answering it. Yeah, the answer was obviously No. I could of figured that out in a few seconds. Instead, the author chose to elaborate on this in the most complicated way possible.
