But isn't simulation sickness[1] the fundamental limitation in the usage of VR for longer duration?

What good a VR desktop be if it can be only used 15-30 mins at a time.

That's only an issue if you're moving around in VR, particularly with artificial motion.

Sitting in one spot is generally fine for most people, as is so-called "roomscale" vr where it maps 1:1 to the area you're in.

I am able to be productive in VR Desktop for far longer than 15-30 min at a time (sitting stationary with mouse + keyboard).

Good to know. But when you stop using it, do you do it because you feel sick or for normal non-VR related reasons? i.e. is simulation sickness not a factor at all?
