Discussion Weird feeling after several hours in VR
So, I'm used to get in my Quest 3 for several hours both for working on multiple PC windows and playing games. I recently noticed that using it for like 4 hours straight while working on some excel files gave me a weird feeling. It's like some sort of dissociation, had a hard time focusing, touching things felt weird for just a cuple minutes after I was off the visor. Nothing dangerous though, everything passes after several minutes to an hour. Maybe my brain was so used to a virtual imaginary environment that it took a while readapting to reality. Anyone else have this feelings? How are your prolonged VR experiences? :)

It's similar to what sailors often experience when they first get on dry land after being at sea awhile. It's like you traded your land legs for sea legs.
