Re: User succumbs to a seizure in virtual reality while other players can only watch
#2VRChat was released last year and has been picking up momentum all over the place. If you have not had the chance to see what it's like, it's worth at least checking out as an observer.
The worlds and experiences are reminiscent of Stephenson's Snow Crash or Cline's Ready Player One in so many ways. It's eery, fascinating, and altogether odd.
Add on top of this that spectators, sometimes in the thousands, watch these virtual experiences live on Twitch.tv, and you have a very "we're in the future" feeling.
You can check out plenty of live streams of people experiencing this on Twitch.tv now:

#3The person in that super color flashing psychedelic wendy's costume is a real asshole. That is probably what caused his episode. Then, when he's all seized up with the headset on, she's sitting in front of him and doing all kinds of crazy moves.

Photosensitive epilepsy is a real thing, but this is just speculation.

I wonder why Second Life hasn’t been more aggressive capitalizing on VR. It seems like they were perfectly positioned for it.

I don't see any mallace in the video.
They have no idea what is happening to the guy truly, and we don't know what set it off.
If you have proof, or more info please cite.
Noone knows what set this person off, it could be not related to visuals.
Yes, that person is dancing in front, but as soon as someone says to move away any flashing LED costumes, that person moved.
If that person was an asshole truly, they wouldn't have moved when asked to do so

It is speculation, but it's not uncommon. I remember about, oh 10 years ago or so, someone attacked an epilepsy forum with a flashing image - the forum had images set to display inline and voila - headaches, and various other ailments beset the community. I don't think there were any seizures proper, per se, from that episode.
