Does anybody actually get motion sickness in apps where there's no motion? I've never seen an instance of that. If it does happen to some people I'd be very cu

  I’ve gotten motion sickness just looking at static images from Google Earth. I used to work at Facebook and saw some talks on this. As I understand it, the problem is basically one of latency; the time between when your head moves and when the image updates should be < 7 ms or something like that.

    If getting the response times below 7ms is all that's required to fix that problem for the small minority of people who have it then that still seems pretty doable. You would need a 144hz display though. Are you sure you weren't experiencing other problems though, like stuttering or dropped frames? I've noticed Google Earth can have performance issues sometimes depending on how detailed the 3d imagery is in the area you're viewing.

You would need a 144hz display though. It's not just the frame rate. When your eyes and inner ear don't agree on the perception of movement you can end up with motion sickness. It's very easy in VR for your eyes to see movement counter to what's being perceived by your inner ear.

  You should try the original Oculus Rift dev kit. It didn’t do any head (other than rotation) tracking, and it’s extremely disorienting to move your head and have the view be static.

    I'd count that as motion. Instead of the world remaining static when you move your head, it moves with you.
