The other option, which I’ve taken to is memorizing where in the room the cup is and cautiously extending your arms to break your guardian boundary and grab your water while replacing it carefully, sliding it on the table. This is still a jarring and not-relaxing way to relax during a break–but at least you don’t have to readjust the headset.

This instantly made me imagine a VR game where you can have some kind of a "magical transdimensional window" that you can place within the game's world that shows you the camera feed inside. It could grow or activate on demand and maybe even fit into the game's lore, and you could go through it to find yourself in the physical world. Or you could even literally punch a hole through the boundary and have it heal itself after a short timeout with a nice animation, leaving some mark to let you know where your glass of water is. No need to go full AR to solve issues like that.
