I tried out my niece's Oculus (version: fuck if I know) Holy shit!!! it was like some sort of psychedelic trip. Out of body experience. I started out with the main focus of keeping my feet firmly planted in my start position. Despite that I found myself lost in some weird imaginary 3d world where my knees buckled twice. I was looking around at my virtual icon floating through wherever. It is pretty unsettling to be honest. By the time I finished my ten minute trial my feet were tired from keeping my balance and my mind was disheveled from trying to sort out the real and the imagined. I can see how even the most strident would falter to a given stimuli.
I have been spending some time up here in mainland (California) and I'll make a report once I am back home in the 96717.

I can also see how this could be some heroin too.

Re: Virtual Reality
Not as often as I would but she plays a couple times a week for maybe an hour or so at a time. (3 week sample size) She gets bored and ends up watching youtube in an immersive environment. I think she has some sort of inoculation because the 11 year old me would have been all over this. PacMan/Asteroids on steroids mixed with meth. As long as you don't get motion sickness.
I played again last night and just as weird. I wouldn't have one in the house. There is some show that I saw advertised, only because I am staying with people who watch TV, that integrates dancing and VR. The Matrix is coming and it is coming strong. (I'm too old. I hope that my kid is a Morpheus type but he may be a steak eater.)
