Stay Comfortable
Some people may experience discomfort such as nausea, motion sickness, dizziness, disorientation,
headache, fatigue, eye strain, or dry eyes when using mixed or virtual reality, particularly as they adjust
to using it. Typically, motion sickness and related symptoms occur when there is a mismatch between
what you see and what your body perceives. If you are prone to motion sickness in other situations, are
afraid of heights, get migraine headaches, have an inner ear disorder, or other health conditions, you
may be at increased risk of discomfort.
Certain Situations can Increase Your Risk of Discomfort.
For example:
• Being a new user - symptoms tend to decrease as your vision system adapts.
• Display not calibrated, or headset not oriented correctly on your head. Make sure HoloLens
is properly calibrated and that it is properly aligned by using the Calibration application.
• Certain types of content, particularly games or movies that make you feel as if you are
moving through space or looking down from high, or interactions that involve tracking
moving objects.
• Using HoloLens for extended periods without a break.
• Using HoloLens in a completely dark environment that keeps you from seeing visual cues
with your peripheral vision.
Consider Keeping Your First Sessions Brief
Start slowly and look around to get a feel for how the virtual objects and the outside world
interact. For most people discomfort should decrease as you get more practice over your first
few sessions.
Take Periodic
Take breaks periodically and stop and rest if you experience any discomfort. The timing and length of
breaks may depend on the individual user and what you are doing with HoloLens.
If You Experience Discomfort
If you experience discomfort, stop using HoloLens and rest until you feel better. Sitting still in a
well-lit environment can help speed recovery from disorientation. If you feel disoriented, avoid
activities that require balance, coordination, or other capabilities until you recover. Be sure the
display is properly calibrated. Take note of the type of content you were viewing and other
aspects of the situation in which the discomfort occurred so you can adjust or ease into the
situation next time. People differ in the time they take to adapt. Consider taking more frequent
or longer breaks.
If symptoms are severe or persist, consult your doctor. Viewing 3D or Mixed Reality is not
known to harm vision development or cause binocular vision disorders. If you are not able to
