When authoring a Spawn Asset Resource, we suggest fading the scene out and in to mitigate the motion sickness that can result. In this example, we are spawning some workshop tools the Motive Lab equipment and objects in the environment and will fade the scene out prior to spawning and then fade the scene back in after.
