Luckily, there's a new solution coming out. A headset that sends
electrical signals from behind your ears, which affects your sense
of balance. One reason is to prevent motion sickness or
vertigo. Also it's intended for some VR aspects.

But if you're a person who gets motion sick from the movement, it'd
be possible to have some API that counters that effect in you :)
