Technologies for motion-compensated virtual reality include a virtual reality compute device of a vehicle. The virtual reality compute device is configured to render a virtual reality content to an occupant of the vehicle and determine a motion of the vehicle based at least on sensor data generated by one or more vehicle motion sensors of the vehicle. Based on the determined motion of the vehicle, the virtual reality compute device modifies the rendered virtual reality media. In some embodiments, the virtual reality compute device may utilize other sensors associated with the vehicle and/or a user-worn virtual reality device to predict the motion of the vehicle in order to determine an expected motion of the vehicle that is expected to be sensed in the future.
