Virtual reality was not invented only for entertainment. Australian Jack McNee decided to test how long he could remain under the power of illusions and set a new world record.
British journalist Georgie Barratt had a similar experience before him, but it only lasted for 11 hours.
Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records have confirmed the longest stay in virtual reality.
The Australian did not return to our mortal world for more than a day.
All this time, the man was entertained in the world of cartoon characters, movie heroes and computer games.
According to the stated conditions, the Australian was entitled to several short technical breaks.
But in order to eat and fulfill other needs, it was forbidden to take the helmet off his head. Assistants helped him with everything.
It is especially worth noting that sleeping was also not allowed until the end of the experiment.
As a result, the Australian set a world record, spending 36 hours, 2 minutes and 16 seconds in virtual reality.
All this time, a video broadcast was conducted, during which donations were collected.
The funds raised were donated to the treatment of sick children.
