Is this also why some of us will experience motion sickness while wearing VR headset? Also wonder if similar thing will happen with AR? It also seems like women are more likely to feel discomfort from this than men :/

This article https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frobt.2020.00004/full suggests that the main reason why women are more likely to feel discomfort / specifically motion sickness than men for VR headsets is due to a mismatch between the headset and the wearer's IPD (Inter Pupillary distance). The results say that most VR headsets actually don't have a large enough IPD adjustable range to accommodate the majority of women VR users. Really shows the importance of having a diverse range of testers for a product!!
