HEALTH & SAFETY

General Precautions:

Consult your doctor before using the headset if you are pregnant, elderly, have pre-existing binocular vision ab normalities or psychiatric disorders, or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition.
A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an unimpaired sense of motion and balance. 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.
Use only in a safe environment. The headset produces an immersive virtual reality experience that distracts you from and completely blocks your view of your actual surroundings. Always be aware of your surroundings before use and while using the headset. Use caution to avoid injury.
Use of the headset may cause loss of balance.
Never wear the headset in situations that require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.
Do not use the headset while in a moving vehicle such as a car, bus, or train, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.
Take at least a 10 to 15 minute break every 30 minutes, even if you don’t think you need it. Each person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort. You should decide what works best for you.
Headset should not be used by children without adult supervision.

Seizures:

If you have ever had, or currently live with, symptoms of epilepsy such as severe dizziness, blackouts, seizures or loss of awareness, you should see a doctor before using this product. The content viewed through the headset may include flashing images and repetitive sequences, which could cause seizures, even in those who have never experienced seizures in the past.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms. Children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
