5. Safety Notice
5.1. Be careful of the real world
Whenever you use your Quest you’ll set up a Guardian boundary that marks the edges of
your play area. This boundary ensures you don’t bump into anything and have a safe area to
play in. That being said, it is very easy to forget that you’re blindfolded to the real world. If
you’re playing at home, for example, it is a good idea to warn other people that you’ll be
going into VR before you go in and that they know your play area boundaries too. Also be
careful of pets — if you have a particularly affectionate animal and plan to play a pretty
active VR game, it might be a good idea to keep them in a separate room until you’re done
playing.
5.2. Take Breaks
It may help to take regular breaks as often as every 20 minutes. Many games on Quest tend
to be fairly comfortable, but some games can simulate movement in ways which might lead
some people to feel queasy. If you do start to feel queasy, though, you should stop
immediately. Over time with regular use, some people may become more adjusted to being
in VR but others may not, so always pay attention to what your body is telling you and don’t
try to “push through” any feelings of discomfort. If you do feel uncomfortable it can help to
take a break, drink some water, eat something, get good sleep and try VR again when you
are ready.
5.3. Keep Lenses Away from Direct Sunlight
Sunlight can cause permanent damage to the lenses, therefore please keep the headset
away from windows and don’t use it outside.
