Safe introduction of the trainee to VR

To ensure the user’s comfort and safety in a virtual reality environment, several key principles must be followed:

1 User preparation

Introducing the participant to VR technology and its functioning.

Discussion of the principles of operation of the goggles, controllers and handtracking

Information about the safety boundary, i.e. a virtual grid defining a safe area of movement.

2 Environmental conditions

Training should take place in a space free of obstacles and with adequate lighting.

Remember that VR goggles directly exposed to UV light may cause the application to malfunction.

It is recommended to use VR in rooms with a stable base and good ventilation.

It is worth limiting elements that may cause disorientation, e.g. sudden noises or flashing lights.

4 Setting the safety boundary
After switching on the goggles, the Trainer must set the safety boundary, i.e. the virtual limitation of the movement area.

After crossing this boundary, the system will automatically switch to Pass Through view, allowing the user to reorient themselves in the real environment.

5 First steps in VR
Initial sessions should be short (5-10 minutes) and gradually extended depending on the user’s well-being.

The trainer should constantly monitor the participant’s reaction and, if necessary, help them master the basic control functions.

It is advisable to start with simple interactive exercises before moving on to more advanced simulations.

6 Breaks and comfort of use
Regular breaks during the VR session are recommended to avoid visual fatigue and sensory overload.

If the user experiences discomfort (e.g. dizziness, nausea), they should immediately remove the goggles and rest.

It is important to adjust the straps and settings of the goggles to the individual needs of the user to ensure comfort and stability of the device.

Safely introducing the user to VR significantly increases the comfort and effectiveness of training, minimizing the risk of negative experiences and health problems.

7 Hygiene rules for VR goggles
VR goggles should be disinfected after each use, especially the face mask and lenses.

It is recommended to use special disinfectant fluids or wet wipes designed for electronics to clean the face mask.

Caution! Do not apply or leave sharp preparations on the lenses, as this may cause them to become cloudy and permanently damage them.

It is best to clean the lenses with dedicated microfiber cloths to avoid scratching them.
It is recommended to take regular breaks during the VR session to avoid eye fatigue and sensory overload.

If the user experiences discomfort (e.g. dizziness, nausea), they should immediately remove the goggles and rest.

It is important to adjust the straps and settings of the goggles to the individual needs of the user to ensure the comfort and stability of the device.
