I bet the lag would be worse than the perspective. Even a few dozen milliseconds is noticeable by some people and you'd feel drunk or nauseated.

When I first started VR I would get sick, so I started to use it for 30 minutes at a time, then 1 hour, then more and more until I can handle 8 hours at a time (break at 4 hour mark). It just takes practice.
jesus christ what are you doing with vr for eight hours
mom, knock first!
My wife and I used to stream on twitch and we would stream 8 hours for 2 days a week.
We did VR for a few months, I setup half the living room with green screen and used LIV software and a camera to put us inside the games.
One of the times I was waving the controller and broke the ceiling light glass shade while live so that was exciting lol
Do not ever do this. VR for a person that doesn't tolerate it can lead to days of feeling sick, nausea etc. Some people aren't meant to play it. Listen to your body, when it tells you "I don't feel so well" just stop. Otherwise you'll lose a week of your life and be miserable, if not something worse.
I feel like after some time (and some throwing up) you'd maybe get used to it.
I bet the vast majority of people would get used to it. The human brain is wondrously plastic.
If vision flipping goggles can be adapted to I bet this could too.
I'm just one of those people who notice the lag so I'd be puking the whole time I was adapting.
Some years ago I got so drunk that had a 1-2 seconds visual delay, I vividly remember not being able to stop my friends from stealing my chips because I literally tried stopping them way too late. It was really funny tbh, damn.
In any case, I never felt nauseated, my brain got accustomed to having a delay naturally.
I think the "adapted" state would feel like living with a chronic illness. You'll still constantly feel nauseous and be puking, but you'd force yourself through doing basic life activities anyway
I get the getting used to lag part. But getting used to the whole world being upside down sounds insane.
If you think about it, the perception of what is "right side up" is arbitrary. It's like that cliche discussion of qualia and what if what I see as red is different from what you see as red.
Okay, that's a fair point.

Takes a few days but it's totally possible.
Fucking hell
There are diary entries of John Carmack about this. And a lecture on youtube
I've played enough racing games to say that the worse part about this is going to be when you have to go back to normality.
By 7pm he was able to dodge roll through traffic.
Once you figure out the iframes it's actually pretty easy.
Are there videos of this?
Did this with a car once. It was a controlled enviroment, had one guy on an e-bike with the camera at the top of a poll and then I drove around the track with the headset on. Probably would've worked better if we'd gotten the tires aligned beforehand but it did work.
