Interesting, anecdotally I would say all my more serious gaming friends hit this at some point. But it takes serious consecutive hours in game.
Something interesting about VR gaming is the very heightened sense of spatial involvement. If I play a game on the screen I remember it as if I played it on a screen. But if I play in VR my instinct when reflecting on it is that I was there, in the game world. It can feel silly to talk about with people who don't play VR, but all the ways in which you remember experiences in the real world are the same. When you talk about it you can't disconnect them without just adding "in VR" to the end of everything. It's never that your character did the thing, it was you, you were there.
I've had the opportunity to drive on race tracks that exist both in VR and in real life and the spatial relationship is 1:1. So your brain is blending the two experiences seamlessly as you drive around, and you apply all the same spatial cues from VR onto the real world.
- patapong 1y agoI also think VR takes this to the next level. In VR, for example, you can often move slightly through walls, since they are not there, so you can cut corners a bit. After long sessions on my meta quest, I sometimes get the idea that I can do this in real life as well, with predictable results.
