Beyond that darkness and silence, deafening silence interrupted on Lee by the sound of leaves crunching under your footsteps.

But what's that?

You hear a rustling to your left your eyes immediately shoot to that direction.

The hairs on the back of your neck stand up more rustling on Lee.

Now, to your right and closer your heart beats faster.

You're breathing, quickens your shoulders, curl up to protect your neck, your back hunches to do the same for your internal organs.

You look like a scared, popping blame your animal instincts.

They're in control right now, and they've kicked on to protect your most vulnerable areas.

Then, out of nowhere, the creature jumps out and grabs you.

You let out a blood curdling scream and rip off your V R headset.

You've been in the comfort of your home this entire time, yet the experience was so real your body reacts to every stimulus lighting, sounds, movement.

When you done those bulky goggles, you're stepping not only into a different reality.

You step into a virtual body, and that body in that environment can really trick your own down here in the real world.

But let's back up.

Nobody dives headfirst into V R.

Horror games are not for beginners, Let me tell you, any newbie at anything goes in baby steps, right?

So let's start small.

We'll grab a chair so you don't have to stand while playing.

That alone can be dizzying, especially when the game hasn't given you a virtual body.

You don't see your feet below you, and it can feel like you're floating pretty cool, but quite disorienting, looking down and not seeing what's holding you up.

And we tell you, try one that not only gives you Miller feet but also send you falling through a hole.

Your body's immediate reaction is to crouch down and reach for the floor below You.

Yeah, you're standing on the ground in the real world, you should be able to feel it on your feet, but it just doesn't register for your brain.

So for now, take a seat.

Ah, there, that's better.

How about a fun little carnival roller coaster game?

Here we go.

The second you put that headset on your body, the rial one gets bombarded with sensory information your pupils dilate toe, let in the light colors, shapes and landscapes based on what they're sensing in this virtual world, they send a message to your brain.

I'm strapped into a roller coaster.

I see my lap below me.

My arm's on either side.

The track stretches before me.

Now the fun part.

Let's had movement.

Your eyes.

See the coaster car jut forward, and the landscape starts moving to.

In the real world, your body jolts back a bit like the inertia you feel when you're in an actual car or any moving object that's just taken off from a standstill.

But you're not moving.

You're sitting in a chair in front of the TV.

Your brain doesn't care, and more importantly, neither does your inner ear.

It gets the visual information from your eyes were moving and reacts accordingly.

Keep your balance.

Hence why your body instinctually jolted back on Lee to pull itself forward again.

The roller coaster starts to climb the first hill.

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You're filled with anticipation.

With each clicking, you look to the side, you see that you're getting higher because the horizon is getting lower.

Then you'll look down.

Oops.

Big mistake.

Oh, that's dizzy.

And you physically feel it to you almost fall over the side of your chair when you're that high up with no railing to brace yourself against.

Your first reaction is I want down now if you got friends or family over there, probably cracking up at the side of you.

But don't worry.

Their turn will come and their bodies will react no differently.

Oh, boy, we're almost at the top, and over you go sitting there in your chair.

Your body leans back.

It thinks it's being pushed by the coaster car going downhill at incredibly fast speeds.

Well, more like your upper body is trying to stay where it was back there, but the car is pulling your lower body forward.

Turns out Newton's first law works in the virtual world and, well, who'd have known before?

You can even get a grip on what's going on.

You come to the first dip.

My guts just jumped into my throat as your body slouches down.

Yep, sitting on that chair with no movement of physically act on your insides, your brain creates the feeling for you based solely on the visual information it's getting from those goggles.

Ah, the mind is a powerful thing, but don't worry.

You'll get used to the sensation.

And before you know it, that carnival roller coaster game just doesn't do it for you anymore.

What once felt so dizzying that you thought you lose your lunch right there on the spot is now meth.

Have you noticed that when you play V R, let me know down in the comments along with some of your favorite game recommendations?

I need a new challenge anyway.

If you're all too familiar with the feeling of losing that exhilaration, then you know what it means.

Timeto level up.

Ditch the chair, stand up and let's slice, um, flying fruit.

You see a sword in each hand, you turn your wrists.

Observe your fruit slicing tools.

Give them a few practice swings.

Get ready.

Here comes a key way swing and a miss.

You saw the fruit perfectly well, but your brain didn't quite react fast enough to tell your arm to bring the sword up to that exact spot at the right time.

This means your hand eye coordination could use some training.

You don't get too much practice in the real world.

Sure, you might swatted a fly when it lands on your knee or catch something your cat just tried to knock off the table unless you play some ball sport.

In any case, I imagine you get plenty of practice, but it's not sports alone.

Video games are also known to beef up your hand eye coordination, but in V R.

That's 10 fold.

You're not simply pushing a button to make your character died, something the opponent threw at you.

In virtual reality, you're moving your body, swinging your arms, ducking, leaning, looking to either side and reacting accordingly.

Like that creature in the woods on Lee, You didn't react quite enough on that one.

With time, you'll notice your reactions getting faster and more accurate.

Even within 1/2 hour, you're slicing more and more fruit with precision and ninja like speed.

Progress and leveling up seem to go quicker in this world, but the next day that's when you feel it.

Oh, my arms might back my thighs.

You got quite the workout yesterday.

Better be careful and warm up next time.

If you're no fitness guru playing V are regularly can mean using muscles you've completely forgotten about or didn't even know you had.

I know not all V.

Our games are the same.

There are calm ones that let you draw giant works of art in the room.

You can peacefully improve your artistic skills.

Get better at controlling your hand movements to create all those details.

The musical ones can have you feeling rhythms and beats when not too long ago, you had the grace of an elephant on roller skates.

No matter what kind of V R games you're into, there's one thing they all have in common.

The eye strain.

You'll probably start feeling that after five or 10 minutes, if you're new to this world, remember your pupils dilating with the changes of line your eyes, judging in all directions to hone in on that fruit, zombie baseball or whatever it might be all that can really tire your eyes out.

But strangely enough, like your muscles coordination and balance your eyes.

Also adjust to the workload.

You find yourself going much longer than 15 minutes without even noticing.

Careful, your game tells you to take breaks for a reason.

By the way, your pupils don't only dilate the let in more light.

Different emotions can change their size to fear, anger, joy.

And that's not only in V R, though the light and emotion thing are related.

If you're terrified, your pupils will get bigger toe, let in more light.

This will make your vision sharper so that you can notice the slightest danger and react to it faster.

On that note, you think you're ready to try that horror game again?

Hey, if you learn something new today, then give the video alike and share with a friend.

And here are some other cool videos I think you'll enjoy.

Just click to the left or right I don't care.

And remember, stay on the bright side of life.
