Good news is there are a lot of techniques for acquiring "VR legs" that don't require experiencing nausea. The most classic ones involve:
1. using a very strong vignette (like looking through binoculars) to preserve a fixed frame of reference, and then gradually adjusting the vignette to obscure a smaller and smaller % of the FOV.
2. when using a joystick to move the camera/character, only move forward and rotate to turn, marching in place any time you move forward (so you if you would normally strafe or move backwards, rotate first instead and then move forward).
3. use joystick movement for no longer than a couple of seconds and then stop and let your body calm, then move forward a couple seconds, repeat, stop any time you even begin to feel any nausea and take the device off and then come back after 20 minutes.
With these sorts of accommodations, a large percentage of people who get nauseous in VR can overcome it and end up with zero nausea as long as camera movement is fixed or its controlled my player input.
I trained myself on Skyrim VR with those comfort settings and I was totally fine after a couple of days (whereas before I couldn't use joystick movement for more than about 3 minutes before intense nausea kicked in).
