Man spends a day in VR - sets Guinness World Record

There is now an official Guinness World Record for the most time spent in virtual reality while playing a game. Filmmaker Derek Westerman now holds the record, having spent 25 hours in VR.

He strapped on the HTC Vive and spent his time playing Tilt Brush, a VR painting app. You can see glimpses of his masterpieces in the video below.

The experience wasn't all smooth sailing though. Westerman had to pee into a bucket at one point, while still wearing the headset, which is a feat in itself. And he also suffered from a touch of vertigo at one point and called upon the bucket again, this time to vomit.
