VR On A Train?

Using VR headsets on train is "not advisable, as it would make riders less aware of what's going on around them."

Virtual reality may be the best that has yet to happen to the world of gaming but using it while commuting may not be a great idea.

 

It comes after a man was filmed playing a virtual reality video game while riding the train.

 

Neil Lindquist, the one who took the video during his regular morning commute to work in Boston, said: "There was a guy sitting there on his VR headset and as the ride went along he was becoming a little bit more animated,"

 

"Initially, he was pretty quiet but about 10 minutes in he was having much more of a reaction to the game."

 

"At first, I was trying to figure out if it was a joke or not because we were getting pretty close to April Fools. But it wasn't.

 

"So after a couple of people started Snapchatting, I joined in. Luckily, I caught him at one of his animated moments, which seems to have been pretty popular on the internet so far."

 

Reacting to the video, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, said that this sort of activity was "not advisable, as it would make riders less aware of what's going on around them."
