    Technically it doesn’t “make” people motion sick, they are motion sick either way. But VR offers a very accessible way to train away your motion sickness. Since you can actually stop early enough to reinforce that your brain doesn’t need to protect you. A car ride or boat is much harder to stop at a moments notice.

    If you keep reinforcing that you don’t need motion sickness, your brain stops doing it to you. It thinks it’s helping.

    Similarly, the medication for car ride or boat motion sickness works for VR too. So they can help you be able to spend more time in each session while training it away.
