I hope I put this thread in the correct spot.
Anyways, going through doors and zones have been disorienting for me because the world suddenly freezes (like a picture) while it loads. It literally throws me off balance and I have to brace myself every time.
For going through doors, I would recommend some sort of fading out to black before the world freezes and then a loading screen so that you aren’t just floating in the black void wondering how long it will take to load the next area.
Similarly, I will be sliding along a pathway and suddenly my world will freeze because (I assume) I am switching zones. Either this transition has to be smoother or have some sort of archway/cave etc. to act like a “door” and then you can do the whole fading to black with a loading screen like I mentioned above. Unfortunately, this will make the world seem smaller and more broken up into chunks…less of an open world feel. I do not like this option, but if transitions can’t be smoother, then I would prefer this so that I don’t feel sick.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Thanks for all the comments. I am an oculus user and aware that we tend to have black voids for our loading screens. I’m more pointing out the issue with the abruptness of transitioning between zones. Sometimes I will be gliding along the path and my world will suddenly freeze, and then after a couple seconds/minutes it will unfreeze and I can continue. Same thing with doors, I start opening the door and everything will feel smooth up until a certain point where it freezes. If I look around, I might see a black void behind me.
