It's especially a problem if you live in a hot and humid climate like I do. No matter what I did I could not prevent the lenses from fogging over and I tried everything from antifog sprays for ski masks to stuffing paper towels into the sides of the headset. The steamy, foggy, bad-smelling experience contributes as much to the nausea, or at least it exacerbates it in my experience.

Perhaps it needs active ventilation.

  Forgot to mention that I tried that as well with a USB fan. Something like this one: http://n4.sdlcdn.com/imgs/b/u/4/198x232/Persona-Portable-Mini-USB-Fan-SDL411733852-1-2d34f.jpg http://n4.sdlcdn.com/imgs/b/u/4/198x232/Persona-Portable-Min... But yes, an in-built fan (if it weren't too noisy) should help a lot.

    You might want to look up fans for paintball helmets. From memory, most of them run off battery, but you could probably have them to use 5v USB. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=paintball+fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s?k=paintball+fan Biggest advantage being that they're specifically designed to move air down through a set of goggles.

  I'm not sure how you'd maintain a breeze across the eye area that wasn't noticeable and distracting, though.

AC is cheaper than headset, dont see a problem here

The audience who buys $500+ VR glasses at the moment often has a climate controlled room. VR works fine for some casual game concepts and maybe racing games were you sit and just move your head while steer with the gamepad. But I never saw an action, action-adventure, roleplaying or strategy triple-A game in VR. I am still waiting until the first triple-A VR game comes out in one of these very popular game categories - until then, I have my doubts and it could end as abrupt as Kinect 2 or 3D TVs.
