As someone who has used similar tech, I can vouch for the fact that the immersion really is on a completely different level. Vertigo can be especially unsettling. In my demo there was a large hole in the floor and I found myself physically unable to walk over it, despite knowing that it wasn't real.
Edit: on reflection, the sensation was remarkably similar to how it feels when dreaming. Signals from the real world can intrude on your experience (e.g. running into physical objects can cause pain in dreams), but it doesn't break the feeling of immersion. There's that strange mental transition point in a dream where you get dunked under water but realize that you can still breathe; the same thing happens in VR.

- bsaul 13y agoI had the same impression after reading the post, when he talks about the brain having difficulties knowing if the memory was from solething that really happend or not. I often wondered whether you could truely resent someone after having dreamed of him doing something horrible for example.
