I had an interesting VR experience, I bought the Oculus during lockdown when I had some time off work. I played a lot of hours over a few days to complete the Walking Dead Game. What I felt was most curious, was afterwards I now have visual memories of being in the apocalyptic town fighting zombies. Almost like, a fake memory of it. I think because VR is total visual immersion, there could be some memory link unlike that which can be found from film or monitor based games.

That was my experience with the Tuscany demo from the DK1 days - my brain craved the missing sensations, such as the change in temperature from sunlight falling on my face, or the texture of the worn stone pillars, the humidity on various surfaces. But then thinking back on it later, I didn't remember the screen door effect, or many of the things that didn't work - the visual memory was as though I'd actually been in that place.
