Finally a cure for seasickness? Has anyone tried these VR goggles?

They use VR goggles and some special software to simulate the horizon I think. Apparently it also has a program that can gradually train your brain to become less seasick even without the VR goggles.

Has anyone tried them?

I suppose they save having to go to all the trouble of looking at the actual horizon.

Think I'd rather eat a pack of ginger biscuits. Cheaper too!

Really do not like VR headsets, they make me feel really disorientated and I've never been able to get the images to coincide to give one image, it's to do with my eyes not the headsets.

Be ok until you twat yourself on the head by walking into something on the boat

I heard a Royal Navy admiral being interviewed on the radio many moons ago. He was asked what was the best cure for seasickness. His reply: " Stand under a tree."

Doesn’t sound like a cure. You feel seasick, you put them on for ten minutes and feel better, you take them off. Repeat.

Interesting idea though - perhaps better done as augmented reality, showing a virtual horizon on a pair of specs? . At a pinch one of those self-levelling rotary lasers shining a horizon around the cabin would probably help.
I can imagine it working if you're stuck in a stinking, hot engine room or galley in rough weather.

When I have done long trips I have used Scopoderm patches - used to be via the doctor but you can get them online. They contain hyoscine, I think the same ingredient as Kwells, but you stick them behind your ear and they do a slow but constant release over 72 hours. Brilliant things. Need to put them on a few hours before going to sea to allow the dose in your system to build up.
A game changer in my book. And no tree needed.
