    this is an important signal: VR is leaving some people with a creepy feeling that the real world doesn't exist.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/12/post-vr-sadness/511232/?utm_source=twb …

        The movie Avatar also did something similar a few years ago

        Have similar studies been done with people who get deeply engrossed in literature? That's when I experience it.

        @gideonmann @TheAtlantic Only played VR once for one hour (amazing). Coming back *was* disturbing, senses were surely fooled!

        VR first sure leaves me feeling off after a long session. Anecdotal, but I can confirm as a VIVE owner.

        That reminds about "The Futurological Congress" by Stanislaw Lem, where questioning reality is the main theme
