In what sounds like either a stunning feat of stamina or a terrifying harbinger of future pastimes, two New York men set a Guinness World Record over Easter weekend for the longest virtual reality viewing marathon ever.
Twenty-six-year-old Alejandro Fragoso and Alex Christison, 37, watched virtual reality videos for 50 straight hours on their Oculus Rift headsets, Variety reports -- though the two men were allowed to take five-minute breaks every hour in order to eat, shower, and stretch. The event doubled as a publicity stunt for software company CyberLink.
While this marks the first such attempt, there is an existing record for the longest-ever Vr video game marathon (25 hours), and Fragoso also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest TV binge-viewing session at a whopping 94 hours.
