We recommend consulting a physician before using the
Gear VR if you are pregnant, elderly, have pre-existing
binocular vision abnormalities or psychiatric disorders,
or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical
condition.
Seizures
Some people (about 1 in 4,000) may have severe dizziness,
seizures, epileptic seizures or blackouts triggered by light
flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they are watching
TV, playing video games or experiencing virtual reality, even
if they have never had a seizure or blackout before or have no
history of seizures or epilepsy. Such seizures are more common
in children and young people under the age of 20. Anyone who
has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked
to an epileptic condition should consult a physician before
using the Gear VR.
