I'm wondering if the rendering is just getting so good that it is fooling part of your brain and giving the seasick feeling.
Turing on a light to the side of the screen helps somewhat. That seems to minimize the immersion.
It is because you are getting accustomed to seeing it go by at a constant speed and are concentrating on it so hard.
One summer job I had was on an assembly line where I would assemble a wiring harness on a jig. The jig would move along, I would work on it while moving sideways doing my job, and when I finished I moved back to the next jig in line. If you were still looking at the jig when the line was turned off it suddenly looked like the jig was moving backwards for a couple seconds.
It is just your brain screwing with you.

Yeah it may be that the graphics look better and more realistic, making your mind believe that it's actually you running around, but your vestibular system tells you you're not moving and actually just sitting on the couch. This difference may explain nausea?
