Do you have any negative side effects? My brother has sinked many hours into it and it seems to have become a huge issue for him socially in the “real” world.


I feel light headed and forget to fully touch my phone screen outside of VR (thinking just pointing at it will work, as it does in VR).

But only for an hour or two after taking off my headset.

Not sure what you mean about socially? I can't see how interacting with people in a virtual space would have any strange effects on how I interact with people in a physical space. I don't really see a difference between chatting in a group around a virtual table versus a physical table.
