Health and Safety Warnings (Excerpt)
Find the full version on cybershoes.io/warnings
Read and follow these Health and Safety Warnings and instructions.
When you let other people play on your Cybershoes make sure to warn
them, let them read these warnings and always supervise them as they
are new to the system and cannot assess the danger properly.
Obvious and less obvious dangers:
Besides the obvious danger (very slippery sole of the Cybershoes),
there are less obvious dangers present as well, e.g.: It is possible to fall
over with the chair, respectively to fall off the chair. The use of VR can
heavily impact sensations or strongly stress the brain. This may lead to
very dangerous situations – especially conjunct with Cybershoes. Read
and follow all further Health and Safety Warnings and instructions as
well. Use Cybershoes at your own risk.
Walking, Standing:
Don’t walk with the shoes around, don’t stand up. The Cybershoes are
very slippery and the risk to stumble or slip or fall is very high. Only wear
them while being seated. Make sure there are no dangerous objects
around you, meaning when you fall you do not fall onto a sharp edge.
Clear all space around you. It is possible to lose balance.
Seated use:
Depending on the size of the mobile stand, it is possible to fall over with
the chair, especially while being active in VR. It is also possible to fall
off the chair. Do not completely forget yourself and your situation while
using Cybershoes. Clear all space around you. When you fall, make
sure you fall onto a soft surface.
3rd party bar stools:
We have tested bar stools with a mid-sized stand having a diameter of
at least 41cm (16”) at various conventions and trade shows. They are
relatively safe. Out of 4000 users, 3 fell over with the chair. Each time it
was a tall and extremely active person.
We recommend to use bar stools with a stand having a diameter of
at least 55 cm (21½”). Please note that using a bar stool with a stand
having a diameter of at least 55 cm (21½”) still imposes risks, but these
risks are smaller as compared to using a bar stool with a stand having a
diameter of less than 55 cm (21½”).
You may also use bar stools with a smaller diameter as long as you are
aware of the risks and adapt your movements to the lowered stability
of the bar stool.
Some bar stools come with a very small stand, for
example, with a diameter of 38cm (15”). Do not use them.
The barstools that we recommend on our website have a mid-sized
stand with a diameter in the range of 41-45 cm (16”-17¾”).
We cannot be held responsible for using third party bar stools and
resulting injuries and damages. Before usage, check if the diameter of
the stand is 41cm (16”) or more. When following our suggestion on how
to modify the bar stool to work better with Cybershoes, you do it at your
own risk.
Cybershoes Gaming Station bar stool aka Cyberchair:
The bar stool included in the Cybershoes Gaming Station has been op
-
timized and tested for the use with Cybershoes but may not necessarily
provide more safety than third party bar stools.
Cybershoes Arcade Edition and Cybershoes Business Edition:
The diameter of the steel base is 55cm (21½”). This diameter matches
the effective diameter of regular office chairs. This diameter further redu
-
ces but does not eliminate the risk of overturning the chair. Overturning
is very unlikely, and the carpet adds stability as well. The fact that we
did not experience the case of falling over with the chair in extensive
user tests when using a chair with a steel base of 55 cm (21½”) and
more does not exclude the possibility that this case may happen. In any
case, it is still possible to fall off the chair.
Addiction:
Keep in mind playing Cybershoes with VR can be very addictive. Take
breaks, be responsible for yourself and others. This device is not for
children.
Do not use Cybershoes or a bar stool that is damaged or has parts that
are loose.
