    I love when articles use “may” to cover the lack of story lol. I “may” get pizza for dinner, but I also likely won’t. Anything’s possible

    Unless we move toward a society where everyone is wearing a VR headset 24/7, I don’t think we need to worry about most of the issues mentioned in the article… Still worth a read, but a bit exaggerated

      The article talked about that directly, no? People wearing headsets all day at work and then having to head home in a weird “my legs still think I’m on a boat” state. I’m curious how long-term use impacts driving considering it can affect depth perception and the like

        I’m more referring to the idea of erasing images of homeless people or pride flags, which the article does mention. I know it’s intended as food for thought, and I see the angle, but who is taking a stroll downtown with a headset on?

    BS.

    According to him, people drive their Hondas into a supermarket after playing VR.

    Adam Rogers is a senior correspondent at Business Insider.

    Guessing he’s not a researcher. He has no idea what he’s writing. Just cherry-picking scientific articles to push his weird ideas. Might be a flat-earther or antivaxxer.

    And Business Insider employs him as a senior correspondent. Fucking hell…

      That part of the article was a hypothetical about someone driving while wearing a passthrough AR headset. It was not talking about VR sickness. There was no claim in the article that VR causes car collisions.
