Post-VR Dissonance is a feeling users that are new to Virtual Reality devices often experience after using the console. Some feelings include feeling like you're remotely controlling yourself, a need to touch something to feel grounded, and possibly symptoms of Motion Sickness. After a few days the dissonance disappears and using VR and regular life become second nature. It is recommended to not use VR applications that use Joystick movement, high intensity games, or very long experiences in VR when one is new to the platform, as these can possibly worsen the effects of Post-VR Dissonance.
Clyde played a high intensity VR game the first day he used his headset, and felt Post-VR Dissonance because of it.
