I had my first experience with VR yesterday, maybe I'm differenent but I actually found it kind of boring, at first it was scary and exciting, but after about 10 minutes I just got sick of killing zombies and flying through the air. The fact it was a simulation was just too obvious for me. This can obviously change as the technology get's better but that's just how I felt. It was no doubt a cool / new experience but it felt like a gimimck.
I did question reality a little bit on the way home etc, but that would surely be normal? I do remember feeling great taking off the goggles and thinking to myself how good it is to actually be alive and walking on the earth. I've heard others say the real world felt boring to them, but I felt the opposite.
If I felt dread about anything, it was seeing my friends son running around the room while his playmate sat there watching him for hours on end and vice-versa. I felt a little sad that's how some kids are now spending holiday time together. I guess they're probably having fun but it did seem a little anti-social and unhealthy. Infact, I thought about it a lot today.
