Derealization and Virtual Reality
Researchers from Fernand-Seguin Research Center in Montréal, Québec, Canada found that being immersed in an VR environment increases the feelings of derealization and depersonalization and reduces the sense of presence in objective reality.[1] When compared to individuals with no prior dissociative symptoms, individuals with pre-existing symptoms of derealization and depersonalization showed greater increase in their dissociative symptoms after exposure to VR. However they did not show greater loss of presence in objective reality than individuals with no prior symptoms.[1]
