Safety
Always place the headset and controllers on the computer table, never on the ground.
Be aware of cables during use.
Make sure controllers are secured to your wrist during use.
If you have any questions regarding use of any equipment, ask at the VR Lab attendant on duty.
If you feel nausea or discomfort, take the headset off immediately and sit down.
Do not use the headset when you are: tired; need sleep; under the influence of alcohol or drugs; hung-over; have digestive problems; under emotional stress or anxiety; or when suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.
Consult your doctor before use if you have a pre-existing medical condition including, but not limited to, epilepsy, binocular vision abnormalities, psychiatric disorders, or heart conditions.
Like other gaming products that produce light flashing visual effects, the VR headset may trigger epileptic seizures, fainting or dizziness, even if you have no history of these conditions.
