Health and safety warnings
•
Just as with the symptoms people can experience after they
disembark a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual reality exposure
can persist and become more apparent hours after use. These
post-use symptoms can include the symptoms above, as well as
excessive drowsiness and decreased ability to multi-task. These
symptoms may put you at an increased risk of injury when
engaging in normal activities in the real world.
•
Do not drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually
or physically demanding activities that have potentially
serious consequences (i.e., activities in which experiencing any
symptoms could lead to death, personal injury, or damage to
property), or other activities that require unimpaired balance
and hand-eye coordination (such as playing sports or riding a
bicycle, etc.) until you have fully recovered from any symptoms.
•
Do not use the Gear VR until all symptoms have completely
subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly
configured the Gear VR before resuming use.
•
Be mindful of the type of content that you were using prior to
the onset of any symptoms because you may be more prone to
symptoms based upon the content being used.
•
See a doctor if you have serious and/or persistent symptoms.
