Yes, virtual reality (VR) does blur the boundary between reality and illusion. Through strong "presence"—including place illusion (feeling you're in the virtual environment) and plausibility illusion (events seem real)—users often respond realistically, even knowing it's simulated. Studies show this can lead to psychological effects like false memories, depersonalization, dissociation, or confusion between virtual and real experiences. While beneficial for therapy and training, prolonged immersion risks addiction, altered self-perception, and difficulty distinguishing worlds. Moderation is key to avoid negative impacts.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12167502/
