Is there any way to fix motion sickness from VR?

I hope there will be eventually , my theory is that the more realistic your brain believes the virtual reality is , the less you're victim to motion sickness , so hopefully it'll cure itself with improved tech

its also not a problem for many I believe , me and my friends never had any motion sickness regardless of game from the very start

No, the issue is in the motion mostly. Even in real life if you moved floating like that without actually walking the brain would be confused too. There are solutions like multidirectional treadmills but that's too expensive and wouldn't fit in an apartment. Or teleporting instead of moving like many games do, but that's not an elegant solution.

I have not tried VR in recent times but I am prone to vertigo due to a head injury years back and I’ve always been sensitive to things like car sickness. I do not know if that means I’ll have VR motion sickness or if there’s no relation.

Same I have never had motion sickness, though I feel like Im going to land on my ass if the movment or walking in game is done poorly. It really can be hard to stand up striaght.
