That's right. The cause of motion sickness is when vestibular input (sense of physical movement) does not match visual input. If I am standing and moving naturally in a VR world I can stay there for hours without feeling nauseous. FPS or flight sims cause VR sickness.
VR sickness is the inverse of car sickness.
- VR FPS game: Visually moving while physically static.
- Car passenger in back seat: Physically moving while visually static (car interior).
