Ask HN: Do you feel motion sickness by working on a computer fast enough?

I often feel like vomiting while sitting in front of my computer. I work quite rapidly with my keyboard and mouse.

    I would get that with FPS games. The fix was to increase the field of view setting, and turn off head bob if the game had that setting.

    Now if you're getting it on the desktop, that's unusual.

    Is there any motion when you use the desktop? maybe an animated background? Maybe lots of scrolling?

    Is your screen very wide and you're sitting very close?
