It’s an indication that the dangers of virtual reality goggles should not be ignored, and one should be very careful before attempting to play while wearing them.
There are other risks, such as virtual reality sickness that are often experienced by VR users. People can get a form of motion sickness, feeling nausea, headaches, and even vomiting. Experts think that the brain becomes confused by the apparent movement but because the inner ear doesn’t feel any movement, there is confusion.
