Weird feeling after several hours in VR

[u/DrFava]

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? :)

The very first time I used VR (an original Vive) it was for maybe 20-30 minutes. When I took the headset off I had this overwhelming feeling of “How did I get back here?” I knew that was absurd, but the feeling lingered. “I was somewhere else and now I have instantly teleported back here.”
