I do qa for VR headsets and have never gotten used to them. I'm at like three years of use as my job and still get nauseous

did you grow up playing a lot of videogames? I have a theory that getting used to it while young has a big impact on how it'll effect you later. My grandma can't even look at Minecraft without getting sick and I can play VR for hours with nothing other than a bit of "woah no delay" for a few minutes

I grew up on video games and have been getting high so slime rancher doesn’t make me sick

Curious if you started with 'intense' experiences with artificial locomotion? IIRC if you have bad experiences while getting used to VR, your brain will associate the headset with nausea and it can be a vicious cycle.

I do think I read that some people just can’t handle VR. No idea why. Hopefully you take brakes often and don’t get too sick.
