Use Gemini's voice commands to navigate rather than rapid hand gestures when starting out - fast hand-eye coordination in mixed reality can trigger motion symptoms in new users. Take frequent breaks during your first week.

FAQ
Why does Samsung Galaxy XR make me feel sick?
VR sickness (cybersickness) is the opposite of traditional motion sickness - your eyes see motion but your body is still. Same sensory mismatch, opposite direction. On Samsung Galaxy XR, the primary triggers are: fully immersive environments and rapid hand tracking gestures during transitions.
Does VR sickness go away with practice?
Yes - most users develop 'VR legs' (tolerance) within 2-4 weeks of regular use. Start with short sessions of 15-20 minutes and gradually increase. Don't push through severe symptoms; that worsens tolerance development.
