Health warnings
Pre-existing health conditions
Consult your doctor before using the product if you have any pre-existing medical conditions that may prevent you from
having a safe VR experience. Such conditions include heart-and blood pressure-related ailments, and psychiatric disorders
such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress. Pregnant or elderly individuals should also consult a physician before using the
product.
Do not use the product if you are sick, tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicants, or if you are feeling
generally unwell. Use under these conditions may exacerbate any symptoms you are already experiencing.
Seizures
This product produces visual effects which include flashing lights. A small percentage of individuals may experience
seizures, epileptic seizures, fainting, or severe dizziness when exposed to flashing lights or to certain light patterns,
including people who have no history of these conditions. If you have a previous history of epilepsy, seizures, loss of
awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, consult your doctor before using this product. Do not use
the product if you are tired.
If you are supervising or watching someone else using the product, immediately stop them and consult a doctor if they
experience any of the following:
•
Convulsions
•
Involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching
•
Fainting or loss of awareness
•
Disorientation

Altered vision
Motion sickness
VR products can cause motion sickness for some users. If you or anybody else using the product feel dizzy or become
nauseous while playing, stop using the product and rest. Avoid operating heavy machinery, driving, or taking part in
strenuous activities while symptoms persist.
Repetitive strain injuries and eyestrain
Follow these guidelines to avoid problems such as skin irritation, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or eyestrain:
Take regular breaks. Stretch your arms and legs and move about during this break to ensure proper circulation. The
required length and frequency of breaks may vary for individuals. Avoid playing for too long. Over-exertion and
fatigue increases the risk of injury.
If your limbs, body, or eyes become sore or tired, or if you experience burning, numbness, stiffness, or tingling during
use, stop and rest for a few hours before trying again.
Make sure your skin stays clean and dry when using the product. Stop using the product if you experience any itching,
swelling, eczema, or irritation of the skin.
If any of the above conditions or other conditions persist after use, stop using the product and consult your doctor.
