Man spends 25 hours in VR for Guiness World Record - General

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZau6PiLoJc[/media] apparently the rules were that he couldn't take off the headset or let go of the controllers for any reason, and he also had to play one game the entire time. can't help but feel it would've been smoother sailing if he could switch games, but still interesting

That number is going to bloat so fucking much in the coming years.

I think it would be easier if he actually played a game, and not some paint thing and being stuck in the abyss of bloody nothing.

For this kind of record, the last thing I would have worn would be a suit

I realize there's probably gonna be an abundance of shitty horror movies centered around VR. None of which will compare to the real terror of this video.

I'm surprised at how sick it made him, damn. Watching a standard-length movie in a theater makes the world feel a little weird afterwards, so I can't even imagine what coming out of 25 hours of VR is like. I wonder if there's an actual risk of causing a dissociation from reality within your mind if you stay in a VR world for too long. [QUOTE=The bird Man;50306196]I think it would be easier if he actually played a game, and not some paint thing and being stuck in the abyss of bloody nothing.[/QUOTE] Makes it a lot more impressive, though. Imagine floating in a dark abyss for 25 waking hours. I wonder if they saved any of his 'art'. Everything from the last half would be the work of a true madman.

Hmmm... I sat in my car doing little more than holding the steering wheel for 26 hours straight when I set my distance record. This doesn't seem like it'd be much harder.

I'd think that WR is the fast track to blindness.

Holy shit, imagine making yourself a VR bed and then actually going to sleep just to wake up in VR again

[QUOTE=Fapplejack;50311234]I'd think that WR is the fast track to blindness.[/QUOTE] thats like saying looking at any light is the fast track to blindness. the intensity of light the screen produces is nothing compared to the levels of light you experience when you go outside on a sunny day

If I had a vr headset I could beat this today What a wimpy wr

This record would be a lot more interesting if there were actual good VR games that has a whole world to explore

[QUOTE=darth-veger;50312028]This record would be a lot more interesting if there were actual good VR games that has a whole world to explore[/QUOTE] tbh though the fact that he spent all the time in a blank world of his own art for so long is more impressive.

[QUOTE=matt000024;50312062]tbh though the fact that he spent all the time in a blank world of his own art for so long is more impressive.[/QUOTE] I would have painted a house or something to relief the dizziness :v:

I'm really more impressed by the fact that could deal with Tiltbrush for 25hours. Just 25hours with the Vive on doesn't seem that big of an achievement.

[QUOTE=darth-veger;50312109]I would have painted a house or something to relief the dizziness :v:[/QUOTE] I would put the controllers to the wall and literally paint the room I'm in in VR so I wouldn't bang against the walls when I eventually forget how big the room is.

Give me a Rift and Elite Dangerous, Assetto Corsa or ETS2 and I'll beat the living bejesus out of that record. I'll sleep with that son of a bitch on, and then power on to another 25 hours. If you let me switch games via virtual desktop, I'll stay a whole week in there. Gotta have a toilet solution though...

Of course, nobody has really done a study on this before.

[QUOTE=_Kent_;50313920]I think that the main problem is that your eyes are focusing at a couple inches away, continuously for 25 hours.

It's the same as with 3D glasses, the 3D effect is right on the lenses but your eyes focus normally beyond the lenses since that's where they're "tricked" into believing the actual 3D effect is positioned. It's all about optical illusions.

[QUOTE=_Kent_;50313920]I think that the main problem is that your eyes are focusing at a couple inches away, continuously for 25 hours. Of course, nobody has really done a study on this before.[/QUOTE] The lenses inside it refract light so things appear as far away as they normally would so your eyes aren't focused really close.

For an easy example of this, just get a mirror, put it up to your face and try to focus on stuff reflecting on the mirror behind you, you'll see that your eyes focus on what's being reflected and not the mirror itself, with VR it's pretty much the same except instead of a mirror it's a screen.

[QUOTE=haloguy234;50311083]He merely adopted the virtual reality. I was born in it. Molded by it.[/QUOTE] Now THERE's an experiment worthy of Josef Mengele, just waiting to happen. Putting an infant in a VR sim and feeding them a carefully constructed world, never letting the headset come off until they're older, at which point the real world is finally revealed to them. Hell, it'd be like something H.R Giger would have painted.
