I think you’re really understating the nausea and discomfort. Maybe this is a first step towards mass adoption, but it will not happen unless significant improvement is made to the user comfort, now matter how great some VR experiences are.
It's getting there iteratively. The headsets are getting lighter and more comfortable.
The nausea won't be going away though. There will always be a class of apps/games that cause nausea for many people, because it's caused by a decoupling of virtual movement from real movement, not from any technological shortcoming. Any game or app that does this will make some people want to upchuck
Maybe avoiding nausea from artificial locomotion is a reason Apple isn't focusing on games so much now.
Have you used any of the newer models?
No, just an oculus rift S that I used for about a week. It left me more disoriented than I've ever felt. I am not prone to motion sickness, love roller coasters, etc, but VR was too much. And I was _really_ set on loving it.
