" summary

Explains concrete test failures: prototypes in Unity + Oculus Rift show nausea once frame rate dips below about 46 FPS; recommends automated frame‑rate logs, synthetic motion tests, and a motion sickness rating plus heart‑rate and gaze recording. Lists what to test end‑to‑end: headset tracking jitter, controller latency, strap ergonomics, cloud asset sync, and standalone battery/thermal limits, with examples of tools and a simple survey that found a nontrivial portion of users report symptoms after minutes.
