You don’t have to look far to find reports of people who have used VR headsets and then felt ‘off’ after removing them. While motion sickness is surely the most well-known post-VR symptom, a subset of people say they have experienced feelings of being ‘stuck in VR’ after taking off their headsets. It’s tempting to brush off such reports as someone having seen The Matrix (1999) one too many times, but it turns out there is a clear scientific basis for the sensation.

    Being a PCVR user it does take a moment or two to sync up your senses when you start. Sometimes it also takes a moment to sync back to your real senses.

    There are also some people who can’t sync up and get motion sickness. Hating the technology.

    Article doesn’t surprise me. Old news.

      yea, it’s not about ‘vr feels like reality’ but more about ‘I have to ignore many of my senses to use it’

      it’s only logical it’d take some time to adjust back and forth

      the nerve to mention the matrix on such an article
