The issue I have with your comment is this. You're asserting that the experience you had with nausea and VR is the experience everyone has or will have with nausea and VR.
Some people can't read a book in the car without getting motion sickness. Some people can read hundreds. Some can read a few pages.
Some people can read a book but not play a video game. Some people have the opposite problem.
There's no way this was "fake" maybe staged, but this person was clearly in the driver's seat driving down a public 4-lane highway. Staged video or not, that's dangerous.
If you can find one person who has used pass-through while walking around for like 15 minutes and hasn't gotten sick, you've found one more person than me. I've never heard anyone mention pass-thru that didn't immediately follow up that it made them extremely sick.
I'm not a person prone to motion sickness. I'm on boats all the time. I drive hundreds of miles at a stretch without a problem. I started feeling queasy in pass-thru within about 5 minutes. But I stuck with it and within 20 minutes I was on the verge of vomiting. This is not a subtle thing or something that only affects those with a weak constitution.
So I don't know. Maybe there are folks out there who are completely unaffected by it.
Then there is the claim someone made that a user experience video showed that the headset just shut down at high speeds and couldn't even be used on a train. I can't verify that quickly with Google.
I'm not sure where your line is between "fake" and "staged" but if they are only putting the headset on for the purpose of the video and they don't actually drive around that way, I'm calling that fake. Because they aren't actually using the headset except to draw attention to the fact that they are wearing the headset. People aren't actually doing this. They created a fake controversy.
