A Swedish fiber provider's short experiment in which volunteers wear Oculus Rift headsets that add lag to their view of real life. They try to do everyday tasks like making pancakes.
Cited as a funny illustration of how lag wrecks hand-eye coordination.

I thought so but what about the camera position not being same as your eyes, would you be able to drink from a cup of coffee and coordinate? Or have a similar experience to the living with lag video, this time no because time lag, but eye hand not coordinating. ▶ this video
I came across this (which is a commercial so exaggerates the lag) -- but still quite hilarious (Swedish audio): ▶ this video
I agree. Here's a clever promo showing people trying to live with a Rift showing them a lagged version of reality. I laugh so hard when he tries to make a pancake. ▶ this video
