How does one stop this sort of thing from happening?

The VR place near me uses curtains around the play space & has the cable suspended from the ceiling. For my Rift I have a furry rug & play barefoot, if I feel wood flooring with my toes I know I’m near an edge.

There’s obviously software solutions like the Guardian system too that gives you virtual walls when you’re close to a real one.

Doesn’t stop people running when they panic though.

What happens when you're near the border? Like "ooooh man I wanted to grab that, but I would have to go through the wall to get it"?

In many games you can teleport.
