I have a friend at a game company that is about to start on their first serious offering in VR. He says one guy at the office has already officially declined to work on it (he didn't quit, he just put in a request to be on a different project and the company said sure.) The coworker's explanation was that there have already been many reports from people who have used the headsets that, after only a few hours with it on their face, they have genuine difficulty re-integrating back into the real world. Like, they can't quite walk right, or coordinate tasks with their hands, and they have the specific psychological sensation that this world is not real.
Obviously some people are going to be less susceptible than others, but I think these things are going to fuck people up, big time.
