Some researchers did a study several years ago and found that adding a virtual nose decreased motion sickness significantly. However, I don't think I've seen any developers try this. I wonder if it'd help.

Have they discovered a link between people with big noses and less motion sickness? Imo these are the more important questions that will drive humanity forward

You can always see your own nose BTW, your brain just usually excludes it from what you actively notice.

Yes although I’m hypothesising large nose peoples brains will be doing this with a larger area hence the greater effects against motion sickness. It could lead to novel treatments for motion sickness like wearing a big nose while riding on a bus.
