I've been wondering if inertial engines could be placed on either side of a VR helmet, to combat motion sickness. When your VR avatar would be moving forward, the inertial engines would both pull backwards, hopefully tricking your inner ear. This could be extended to make all motion feel more natural.
Can you further explain your “interial engine”? My understanding of physics says that it would only be able to actuate once then slowly “reset”, ruining the illusion if you’re moving in any steady state mannor
Gyroscopes are used in satellites to change orientation. It should be possible to use one on either side of the head to simulate basic balanced inertia.
