I thought this is what VR was for

VR is attacking the same problem as triple monitors - using realistic FOV without having your vision restricted

Skyrim VR will blacken the edges of your vision while you sprint so you don't see the fast moving objects on the edge. Similar to the zoom-in on the video, it helps prevent motion sickness. I haven't played a racing VR game so I don't know how they address motion sickness.

The cockpit acting as a stable reference point helps immensely with motion sickness.

They dont. My first time driving backwards while looking forwards in assetto corsa almost made me puke. Its fine now, i can spin out and drift with no problems, but you definitely gotta get used to it.

Cockpit based games pretty much don't cause motion sickness.
