Why Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora can trigger motion sickness
Ubisoft's UX designer says first person was chosen for immersion, that motion sickness is common in first-person games, and that moving around as an agile Na'vi could have been a challenge. The team tested with players and addressed triggers it found. What is left is yours to tune: motion blur, camera transitions, field of view, sensitivity and the perspective. The sources opened do not list a head bob or camera shake setting.
- First-person movement as an agile Na'vi, which Ubisoft names as a possible challenge
- Motion blur, which can be turned off
- Camera transition animations in menus, which can be made faster
