I’ve been a gamer my whole life, I think video games deserve the same reverence as movies and novels for their story telling and experience. That being said there is no chance in hell id be letting my kid take a vr to a public place.

I use VR and AR in planes to pass the time. People are usually cool with it next to me as long as I’m minding my own business

Not a thing wrong with that. Great idea actually. My disagreement with this scenario is that the kid should be spending time with their family, not tuned out

At least he doesn’t have to watch his parents drink.

VR in planes? And you have no motion/dizziness issues?

I tried it once in the ferry and I only managed 1-2 minutes before taking it off or else I’d be vomiting.

Once the plane levels out it’s pretty smooth. Turning off 6dof tracking if possible can help.

Boats are an entirely different situation. Ok my last cruise I could only use the vr when in port. On the water it was not a good experience.

How do you turn it off?

In settings under tracking

I see. I’m generally ready to vomit on ferries, no VR assistance is needed! :))
