I figured it was more

  if (areEyesDetectingMotion != isBodyDetectingMotion) vomit()
If it was just eyes and ears it doesn't seem like VR motion sickness would be such a thing.

I don’t follow. Are you under the misapprehension that ears was referring to auditory perception, rather than vestibular sense of motion?
Yes! I managed to miss the whole vestibular system mention and focused on the code.
I suppose you could design an experiment that mucked with proprioception but not the vestibular system. Count me out as a test subject.
There's a company that supposedly created a device that mucks with your vestibular system to combat vertigo.

This site has been up for several years though with no product being released, so I'm starting to question if it actually worked.
