According to @ai_darpa on Twitter, a user wore the Apple Vision Pro headset for 50 hours straight as a challenge, reporting that by the end, reliving old memories felt disconnected, as if experiencing someone else's life. This case highlights the profound psychological effects of prolonged VR immersion on one's sense of reality and identity. For the AI industry, such findings underscore the need for careful design of immersive experiences to safeguard user well-being. Businesses developing extended-reality (XR) solutions should consider integrating safety protocols and AI-driven monitoring to mitigate risks of dissociation and identity confusion, especially as VR adoption increases for enterprise training, therapy, and entertainment applications (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 18, 2025).
