A person's ability to detect visual cues may help predict the severity of motion sickness symptoms. These findings suggest a number of strategies to mitigate motion sickness in VR.
Motion Sickness | Travel Sickness - Causes, Symptoms, Prevention & Treatment
Motions sickness occurs due to the physiological imbalance between the eyes and inner ear when you travel. It triggers unpleasant feeling of nausea, vomiting, dizziness.

‘Understanding the sources of motion sickness, especially while using technology, not only has the potential to alleviate discomfort, but also to make VR technology a more widely accessible resource for education, job training, healthcare and entertainment, they added.

"As we tested sensitivity to sensory cues, a robust relationship emerged. It was clear that the greater an individual's sensitivity to motion parallax cues, the more severe the motion sickness symptoms," said researcher Bas Rokers from New York University, Abu Dhabi. "It is our hope that these findings will help lead to the more widespread use of powerful virtual reality (VR) technologies by removing barriers that prevent many people from taking advantage of its potential," Rokers added.
For the study, the team used VR headsets to simulate visual cues and present videos that induced moderate levels of motion sickness.

Virtual Reality-Based Mobile App can Treat Fear of Heights
Repeated use of a smartphone-based virtual reality exposure therapy can greatly improve the behaviour and subjective state of well-being of individuals in height situations. About 5% of the general population experiences fear of heights.
