My hands go slightly numb looking at my virtual paws. I haven't felt my virtual paws instead yet, but I think I can if I focus.
Big bellies are a similar feeling, where if I rub against it I feel like I could feel it in turn.
I tried reaching out to a mirror while using a physical wall as a solid equivalent. This didn't really do anything because of how I need to hold the Vive controllers.
The sense of being in a space and being in the virtual body still astounds me.
Floating slightly above ground caused by incorrect height settings in VRChat~.
Some avatars' arms stop moving earlier than mine when I make outward stretching motions. Not sure if down to the avatar, some weird scale setting thing, or my body's own quirks.
Shortly after VR my sense of perspective is all wonky. My vision feels sort of flat when looking at screens, and my hands feel like my "real" hands are elsewhere.
The headset (Vive Pro) isn't that heavy when worn properly, but I still get pretty sore and tired after some 5-minute-with-10-min-rest sessions.
I have not yet broken down crying about the joy of the experience. I'm somewhat surprised.
@Taylor Fatigue is normal, and you are likely to get more VR endurance with use.
VRChat avatars with unrealistic body proportions often have arms that reach maximum extension before yours do, or always have bent arms because they’re longer than yours. VRChat hides a little bit of this but can’t do a lot - it doesn’t want to mess up the models too much.
I’m glad you’re having good experiences with it so far!
