It literally fries your brain. I did this. It's good in portions. But more than a couple hours, your brain doesn't know how to turn it off. I remember having dreams of VR 2 days after of not using it. Took a 2 week detox and returned to normal. I see good tools with VR but also a lot of losers on VR chat sitting home trying to make friends for their already depressed lives.

The concept of this video is really good. I am very bad at keeping my focus on something but u managed to peek my interest every second. The way this is edited is also extremely impressive you should be very proud over this piece of art!

I'm planning to do this for 10 days but in a singular game. Any tips?

Pow you spend 900hrs in vrchat and time to time whole weekend at once and afther that you see this video. Bro more time you will spend in vr more chill it will be for you switching between irl and vr. Allso you just have headset itself. Imagine spending in headset with headphones, full body tracking, eye tracking, face tracking, haptic suit (btw this is my setup :D). Then switching between irl and vr is harder. But onestly i would happily move completly to vr if it would be possible.

Six years in the future.And I'm here watching it again when after I originally watched it six years ago. Well, at least this challenge will be a lot easier today than it was six years ago, especially with headsets like the Meta Quest 3. The Meta Quest 3 provides a good quality full-color pass-through that allows you to even use your phone.As a person who practically spends an entire week multiple weeks in VR at a time, I can say there's a few things you can do to pretty much achieve this challenge today. One thing I would suggest is giving yourself an hour to two hours per day without the headset on to take care of things like showering and stuff, eating and stuff, because you still need to use your eyes, and also your VR headset, whatever headset you use, wouldn't like being in the shower. So at the very least, doing this challenge realistically would be 23 hours out of the day for 7 days a week. But it's very much achievable. Once you get used to it, sleeping in VR is pretty easy. I always sleep with my partner in VR. And yeah, just fun coming back to this video and watching it six years later. Just knowing the amount of VR technology there is in the world today. That and also AI has became a very big thing too, which probably wasn't even thought of as a thing in 2019. Only a few niche use cases here and there.

without human contact anyone and everyone would eventually go crazy, VR will slowly destroy the human within humanity…

This has been my favorite video on the platform. I remember watching this for the first time 4 years ago, and have probably watched it 5x since. Still so creepy/cool every time.

i went out side once … the graphics were horrible and the game play yikes! 1/10 would not recommend.
Seriously though, the current level of technology prevents and really hinders VR from being anything more then a gimmicky escapism tool. Most VR games are inherently bad and the graphics are extremely low end to a point where its like 1999 and tomb raider just got upgraded from 8bit. The only games that are any good aren't VR games but rather those that have VR Support simply turned on because literally its a camera perspective that very much all it takes to make any game title have VR support.

There's only two things that need to happen to make this a real reality for attempting. They need to shrink the VR headset to something like wearing a pair visor sunglasses like from Star Trek, or maybe like a pair of safety goggles that you wear so you don't get stuck in your eye. It's too bulky at the moment, and I'm pretty sure that isn't very good or feels good for your head.
Imagine if actions are controlling a robot, and your experiencing what the robot is doing as if it's yourself.
So you could go to work, perform tasks, and you've never actually left your house but still being paid.
Now that sounds like something I'd be willing to attempt. And imagine not going to an actual Zoom call on your computer or phone, instead you are being in a room with virtual other co-workers or management. It sounds like a dream.
It could also be a nightmare if you couldn't escape it. I'm not talking like an incident from sword art online. I mean you go to take off the headset, and you realize you're still in the virtual world. Maybe more like the amazing digital circus circumstances.
