Can VR be unhealthy?

Yes i think so!
After the last PiTool Update (260) my IPD Offset was broken and i did not notice it directly. I know there was something odd, but i played Beatsaber for about 20 Minutes.
After taking off the Pimax HMD, i was SERIOUSLY cross-eyed, i could not focus on text and i had double Vision, which was extreme nauseating.

I was about to say the same thing (regarding the two meter point), but then thats in “normal” VR headsets and not a Chinese made headset where the developers totally disregarded any form of ocular comfort in the quest to provide a marketing figure of 200 degrees FOV.

My 5K+, what little use I managed to eke out of it, always left me with eye strain after 10 minutes of use, and within a month I had to go to the opticians to get a new prescription, prior to that my eyes hadn’t changed in 5 years.

I had no “ocular discomfort” in the 8k, which of cause doesn’t mean that no one else had. however I feel that the claim of pimax disregarding it is pretty strong when it is more probable they just didn’t get it entirely right for everyone.
