Staying safe and healthy

Before you put on your headset

  • Pay attention to your surroundings, many injuries can be prevented by stretching out your arms slowly at first to see what your reach is.

  • If you spend a long amount of time take short breaks to get up, drink something, stretch, whatever.

  • Set a timer. You don’t have to get off just because the timer goes off but you will be more aware of how much time has passed.

  • Check your safety settings, be ready to go into safe mode if there is ever an overstimulating situation.

While wearing your headset

  • Just talk to people. There are exceptions but most people in the metaverse are very friendly.

  • Make friends, connect with people and learn how to communicate and meet up.

  • Respect your body. If you feel slightly nauseous stop playing. Do not push yourself. You will develop your VR legs quicker if you take breaks when you feel any problems.

  • Report glitches and disruptive people. The metaverse is young and they creators need our feedback in order to address our concerns.
