Disagree—we had the input-to-view-update latency down to 16ms; in other words, a 60 FPS frame reflected the position and orientation of the user on the immediately previous frame. This is lower latency than achievable nowadays with consumer hardware. Subject mis-performance and discomfort was still trending downward at this very low level, and several people still reported discomfort and nausea, albeit at a slightly lower rate than, say, 100ms.

Valve was pretty firm on their requirement for 90 FPS, for example, because they insisted that anything lower left users feeling nauseous. Not to mention the rendering of virtual words is far better than what you could have offered in the 90s. Speaking from experience, even 90fps is too low. I get a lot more with my current setup, so consumer electronics are better than you think. VR has come a long way, and has a long way to go. These problems will be overcome as the tech gets better.
