User Trapped in VR for Seven Days

Last week, it was announced that a user called disrupty2k38 on Twitch would attempt spending an entire week in virtual reality during the period of time from February 20th to 27th.

The experiment is so ambitious that VR Pill himself posted a link to Disrupt’s Twitch channel on Discord and said, “Guess this one's staying up for a week.” According to the project’s website, the subject believes that “Virtual & Augmented Reality will replace smartphones by 2038.” Apparently, there are several conditions that must be followed:

• the subject may take 30 seconds to switch to a different headset for eating, sleeping, fitness, and showering;
• the subject’s living space has no windows, he will attempt to maintain his circadian rhythm via simulated day/night cycles;
• the subject must transcend before continuing.

On the third day, he said in a tweet, “My mood seems to be altering dependent on what I've put in the headset,” and mentioned that he felt contentment while using social apps. If you feel interested, go to a world called “1 Week in VR Live”.
