Funniest thing you've seen in (or out of) VR?

[[HJ]-RedRaven]

I gave my five-year old daughter a go with my Rift on Saturday. Wife wasn't looking (she does NOT approve lol).

"Daddy can I have a look around?"
"OK, sure." I plonked it on her head, no IPD adjustment etc.

She spent a few seconds standing on my left looking around my Python cockpit. Up, down, all around.
Said "look at the other chair" and pointed at it (hitting me in the face with an outstretched finger), "Daddy you have no head!" etc

"What else can you see?"
"Lots of stars. Wow, the sun!"
"What else?"
"A door!" Before I could move, she launches herself off directly behind me, heading for the Python's bridge door. I'm momentarily clotheslined by the Rift cord. She actually took the step UP towards the door and then walked headlong into the brick study wall, bounced off, and from her new position flat on her back on the floor, said "Oh, what are those pipes in the roof for?"
I howled. She burst out laughing (and I quietly thanked my lucky stars she didn't bang her head on my seat wheels!) Minor scratch on the front of the Rift now

Immersion.

Nowhere near as charming as your story - but I've experienced a vastly overweight gentleman liberally coat himself (and the floor and the desk etc) in previously-consumed beer.

I'm just glad it wasn't my headset

Did you not see that video of girlfriend in VR zombie game and trying to run from room? Seems to be a few of these.

On a more interesting note of doors, has anyone else noted during beta tests what sounds like doors on Star Trek opening?
Maybe something coming up in future.

Too hard to pick, so one of my classic favorites - Jimmy Durante literally kicks the bucket in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. [big grin]

Ugh sorry I HATE being that guy and I point it out only because many don't know but children under 10ish shouldn't really use VR headsets (yours was very quick, nothing to worry about, lengthy time is where the risk is).

It's mostly just companies being careful, there isn't anything concrete right now BUT there IS evidence to suggest among kids that "near work" causes the eye to lengthen and causes nearsightedness.

Again, I don't want to be THAT guy but it is worth letting people know as many don't know.

Seeing how in VR you focus on infinity, I'm not sure that applies. It's not like working in a factory in China assembling i-phones. :x

Seriously though, this is clearly not a problem for me - my eyes are old, hard, and won't be changing shape anytime soon w/o a laser. [knocked out]
