WESTHILL
VIRTUAL REALITY
Safety
The Play Space
When you are the person using the headset, let others know where the play space is.
If you are not using the headset, keep out of the play space and only enter if you have the person's permission.
When Playing
When you are the person using the headset, let others know that you might not be able to see or hear them.
Set an alarm or timer to make sure that you are not in VR for too long as it can be disorienting when you take the headset off.
Always use the wrist strap! If you don't you could hurt yourself or others or damage the controllers if you accidentally let go.
Title, rewriting and image needed and maybe split
Putting on the headset should be the player's choice. Not everyone wants to enter into VR and we will never pressure you.
Reasons why someone might not want to:
Not liking things on their face or head.
Not wanting to get overheated.
Uncertainty of happenings in the physical surroundings.
Motion sickness, claustrophobia, or cleanliness.
Not wanting to play a certain game.
Not feeling like it... or any other reason.
Ask before helping:
Being touched when not expecting it can be a jarring experience for people if the touch is not expected. If you need to touch the player for any reason, communicate the touch by saying, "Can I touch your left hand?" or "Can I touch your head?"
Diversity
Virtual reality is not accessible for those with larger hair styles (e.g. buns, afros, braids, etc.). Try wrapping your hair into two points instead of one.
Accessibility
Although VR is trying to be more welcoming to those with accessibility issues, VR may still be restrictive to those with some differences:
Low or no vision or hearing
Large glasses
Social and developmental disorders and anxieties
Dexterity ability differences and neurological differences
Sensitivity to lights, loud noises, and sudden movements
And other physical and mental differences or preferences
