DK2 "Presence" fades over time for Developers?

The irony of developing for VR is that it starts to lose its effectiveness. You're just too close to the problem. It's even worse if you are engineering VR. I spend a lot of time in headsets and am personally unable to experience immersion any longer - even with the latest prototypes like Crescent Bay.

Thanks for sharing that brantlew. It did not occur to me to think about the product engineers and how much more pronounced the problem can be for them! I have few years of experience in the video game industry myself and I remember not playing most games I worked on as I could not "experience" the game as a player would, kind of like a magician not being entertained by his own tricks!

I am curious, did you ever take break or a vacation for few weeks from work that resulted in getting back some of that immersion at least temporarily?
