BIMx making me ill

[sarahric]

I'm exporting and checking a BIMx model on my desktop with a large monitor and it gives me motion sickness moving around the model. It would be less so if I the program did not operate in full screen. Can the window be minimised/resized?

Hi,

BIM Explorer runs in full screen mode only, but we have already registered this request to our database.

Best regards,

Just to give you a bit of a hope until this feature is implemented:
I remember the first time I had a similar experience. It was with one of the first First Person Shooter games on pc. It was called Wolfenstein. There you are running around killing Nazis in World War II or something, and the camera shows what you are seeing. After playing for a while I got this horrible motion sickness. But the funny thing is that after a while one gets used to it and it just goes away. You just get used to things and spaces shifting so fast that it does not make you sick anymore. I don't know how much time but it definitely went away and didn"t bother me any more.

Thanks for the tip laszlonagy.
I am a little prone to motion sickness. I have played a few first person shooter games, more on playstation, where the reaction time would be a bit slower . I'm going to turn down the sensitivity on my mouse for a bit and maybe I'll get to use a laptop instead, but it would be good if I didn't have to do this, and make and view the model all on my pc.

Does sitting further away from your screen help?

try to change the FOV. The more wide angle camera the more it makes you sick. Use more natural FOV comparable to the 50mm on the 35 mm camera. Around 60 degrees. It should work better on the widescreen.
