Yes I found this with any use of a VR headset. I'm surprised not more is made of it - the neck is a very delicate structure, and surely any serious health and safety implications would cause all sorts of legal bother if nothing else.


You build up the muscles and it's not a big deal. I've never heard of anyone getting hurt, only some fatigue at first.
