Get the Cognitive dissonance mug.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.

Get the LOGICAL TRANSCENDENTAL DISSONANCE mug.Cognitive dissonance is the psychological discomfort felt when holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes, or when one's behavior contradicts these beliefs. This mental tension creates a desire to reduce the inconsistency, which people achieve by changing their beliefs or behaviors, adding new justifications, or ignoring the conflicting information.
