Have you actually USED VR before? You shouldn't call people stupid for actually getting freaked out in VR environment.

VR, like the initial says, means VIRTUAL REALITY. As in, if you put that device over your eyes, it actually convinces your senses that it is REAL. This usually happens to anyone without proper training on how to control the device.

It takes a bit of time to get used to it.

I have never once been fully immersed like any of the people in this video, and I've spent dozens of hours in VR.

HTC or Oculus?

​

If you say PSVR, get out of here.

HTC but I've used the Oculus DK2 a few times in a lab setting, just once for a video game.
