The year 2016, was the year that really virtual reality took off to become more than a mere entertainment device so that the most enthusiasts could enjoy both their games and special content in a different way than we were used to.
Throughout 2016, Facebook's Oculus Rift began to arrive on the market along with the HTV Vive, the latter being the model that has taken the cat to the water, despite being more expensive than the Facebook model. Sony also released the PlayStation VR for the PS4.
But as expected the immersion that in most cases this type of device causes us, They can cause that if we have not previously cleared the "game" area we suffer an accident, as is the case of a Russian. A Moscow resident, whose identity has not been disclosed, was found dead at his home and has been declared the first to be killed by virtual reality.
Actually, it's all much simpler, but the mania of the human being to create statistics there is no end to everything. Apparently the deceased, was enjoying his virtual reality device walking around the room until he tripped on a glass table, on which he fell, causing the fragments of the table various serious injuries that caused him to bleed to death.
We do not know what kind of game this person was playing, but what is clear is that he was enjoying himself as a dwarf, worth the expression, which did not allow him to worry about his surroundings, something that should be taken into account especially if the game in question offers us a form of interaction beyond what we can consider usual and that it requires more species than necessary.
Very sad
