Can VR crack motion sickness?

After reading about Alaska Airlines testing virtual reality in different flights from Boston, I have to admit that one of the first thoughts I had was about feeling motion sick… something I get on flights without the help of virtual reality tech. People can experience cybersickness, which involves nausea and discomfort that can last for hours after participating in VR applications, which have become prevalent in gaming, skills training and clinical rehabilitation. But (ironically), using VR technology, researchers may now predict who are more likely to feel motion sickness by observing how the individuals sway in response to a moving visual field. The researchers, from the University of Waterloo, believe that this knowledge will help them to develop counteractions to cybersickness. What are your thoughts on using VR for concepts like this? Do you think they will be successful?
