The problem for Meta is that there are use cases for VR - but they are niche (so far):
1. Practicing dangerous or expensive operations: I think Microsoft Flight Simulator is a good example of this but I'm sure there are industry applications that are similar. VR allows you to practice these without crashing the literal plane.
2. Replacing things that are currently impossible in the real world: I think Zwift is a good example of this. It allows you to ride your bike in a fun environment when there are snow drifts outside.
The problem for Meta is that none of these scenarios are in their wheelhouse or of high enough scale for them to be a business for them.

Dramamine almost cures it, but also puts you to sleep. I've heard eating ginger and having a fan blowing on your face helps, but I haven't tried it yet.
