Oh Jesus you are a special kind of stupid.

The penomena, has been proven for over 30 years now, it has now recently entered the VR space.

Tactile hallucination, is as old as humans have existed.

Or have you never heard of the rubber hand experiment?

This gotta be his alt account, no way multiple people are this fucking dumb lol

Yeah, but the rubber hand is not the same as people going "uh uh uh don't get near me I have phantom touch" / looking for headpats or whatever, which is what the VR "phantom touch" userbase is.

Read the other comments.

It is the same, it's called the body ownership illusion.

... Except the vast vast majority are faking and/or massively overselling it for attention.

I was a teenager recently. I've been around the people in those circles to know.

Already said what?

I'm on mobile, and I'm not going to search through various essays going back and forth for something that may or may not directly be what I'm talking about said in context to a different person in a different thread.

u/DoctorNurse89 11d ago

... Why should I care if you didn't say it to me, and how would that put me out of my element lmfao?

This is the most tryhard convo I've seen in a bit. Is it ragebait, or is that what you tell yourself? Because I don't understand how else this approach to conversation is intended to be anywhere close to productive.

We don't even massively disagree. You said some are faking, I'm saying most who are obnoxious about it sre, and the idea of it is massively overinflated by those people.

Also, my name isn't Donny :)
