It's the focal length of the lens. If it had a wider FOV I think it would feel more comfortable.

It's much better in 480p30 than 720p60. Shockingly so even. I'm not sure if that's a fundamental property of 60Hz or if something about how it was encoded.

I don't usually get motion sickness from first person games, but I got a headache just watching the video. Twice since I showed it to a coworker.

Wow, I just had the same issue, and I'm also rarely affected by this stuff..

I thought you were possibly just overly sensitive to those kinds of things, but after watching it, I began to feel the exact same way. I've never had a video cause severe motion sickness before.

I suspect the 60fps is a large contributor to this, at least for me.

Agreed, subtle, but instant queasiness. Not a pleasant video to watch.
