VRsisu

VRsisu is a term that combines "VR" (Virtual Reality) with "sisu," a Finnish concept. Sisu is often described as a stoic determination, tenacity, resilience, and courage in the face of adversity, particularly when confronting challenges that seem insurmountable. When applied to VR, VRsisu refers to the mental fortitude and perseverance required to overcome the challenges and discomforts sometimes associated with extended or intensive virtual reality experiences.

These challenges can include motion sickness, disorientation, eye strain, and the psychological adjustment to a new, immersive environment. VRsisu suggests that developing a mindset of patience and persistent effort can help users adapt and enjoy VR more fully. It involves pushing through initial negative sensations and gradually building tolerance and comfort.

The concept implies that mastering VR is not just a technical or physiological hurdle but also a mental one. Users who exhibit VRsisu are more likely to persist with VR training, gaming, or other applications, ultimately reaping the benefits of the technology. It encourages a proactive approach to managing VR-related discomfort, viewing it as a temporary obstacle rather than a permanent barrier. This mindset can be particularly relevant for professionals using VR for training or for individuals exploring new virtual worlds.
