Users Experience 'Virtual Reality Hangover' After Removing Headsets

Some VR users experience a temporary sensation of being 'stuck in VR' after removing their headsets, caused by discrepancies in proprioception and the brain's adaptation to virtual environments. This phenomenon, known as 'proprioceptive-disconnect,' is linked to the imperfections of VR tracking and latency, and generally fades within a few hours. Studies suggest these effects can also influence memory and physical perception, highlighting the need for further research into VR's long-term impacts.
