5 Handle VR questions

During the interview, you might face some VR-specific questions that test your knowledge, skills, and attitude. To answer them confidently and convincingly, you should be well-prepared with the STAR method. This stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Result, and helps to structure your answer in a clear and concise way. Examples of VR questions include: what are the benefits and challenges of VR for different industries or domains; how to design an immersive, engaging, and accessible VR experience; how to test and evaluate a VR product or service; what are the ethical or social implications of VR; or how to deal with motion sickness, privacy, security issues related to VR. When answering these questions, be honest and humble while also showing your knowledge and skills in a real or hypothetical scenario. Avoid giving vague or generic answers.
