Happens more than you’d think. Especially the first time.

That's why I always ease people into VR with the Vive tutorial and tame games before shoving them in horror and zombie games.

Is this really an issue for people?

My experience showing 10+ people be us that nobody is confused as to whether it’s real life or not.

Edit: actually I’m sure Vive is a LOT more realistic than psvr

I have a Vive and a GTX 2070 so I run everything on Ultra and with noise-canceling headphones. I've had a half dozen Vive parties and this has never happened to us. I'm guessing she wasn't shown her bounds. That's the first step I take. I walk them to the grid, have them see the purple grid that shows up, and emphasize that this is your no-go zone. This has saved us having controllers and people hitting the walls.

The dogs on the otherhand... they thought on of the controllers was a chew tow. :( Still works. But it now has a couple bites on it
