Move carefully while you explore the virtual world.
Fast or abrupt motion may cause a collision or
loss of balance.
•
Use of the headset and Oculus controllers may
result in a loss of balance. If your balance feels
affected, remove your headset and take a break
until normal balance returns.
•
Remember that the objects you see in the virtual
environment do not exist in the real world, so don’t
sit or stand on them or use them for support.
•
Remain seated unless your game or content
experience requires standing or moving around
your play space. If you are using the headset while
seated, make sure you are seated on a secure
surface and stable platform.
•
Use of the headset with glasses may increase
the risk of facial injury if you fall or hit your face.
•
While using the headset with controllers, you may
extend your arms fully out to the side or over
your head, so make sure those areas are clear of
objects or potential hazards.
•
Make sure your play space has a level, firm, and
even surface without loose carpeting or rugs,
uneven surfaces, or similar hazards. Remove any
tripping hazards from the play space before using
the headset. Take care that the cable connecting
your headset to a computer does not become a
choking or tripping hazard.
•
Remember that while using the headset you may
be unaware that people and pets may enter your
play space. Secure your play space while in use,
and if you sense something or someone has
entered your play space, remove your headset
and pause your VR experience to make sure your
play space is still safe.
•
Your view of your surroundings is completely
blocked while you are using the headset, so do
not hold or handle things that are dangerous, may
injure you, or may be damaged.
•
The rings on your controllers extend away from
your hands. Use caution when moving your hands
and arms so you do not strike yourself with the
controllers.
Prohibited Uses
•
The headset is designed for use indoors. Use
of the headset outdoors creates additional and
uncontrolled hazards, like uneven and slippery
surfaces and unexpected obstacles, vehicles
(traffic), persons or pets. Also, the Guardian system
(see below) may not work properly outdoors.
