How do you use your VR headset Corona-proof?

Especially in these times, it is crucial to pay extra attention to the hygienic practices you follow when playing with a virtual reality headset. Therefore, we are happy to provide you with a few tips to ensure you always have a hygienic solution for using your virtual reality headset!

Wash your hands! All staff members who allow people to try out devices at conferences VR-producten should carry hand gel/sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol. For themselves, but also to let users wash their hands before they start using the devices. When facilities allow, washing hands with soap and water for 20 seconds is preferred.

You read it in this blog even before this update; the standard foam material is not easy to clean and absorbs a lot of body moisture. Therefore, replace it with a rubber or leather variant. These can be thoroughly cleaned with cleaning wipes. You can do this with an alcohol-based cleaning wipe, but be careful not to accidentally wipe it over the lenses of your HMD.

This tip seems self-explanatory, but people sometimes forget to clean everything. Headsets are cleaned most often, but controllers are sometimes forgotten. This is risky because viruses can survive on surfaces for 4 to 5 days. Therefore, every time someone else uses a headset, controller, or other accessory, clean the equipment thoroughly with the aforementioned cleaning wipe. We also offer a disinfectant spray that prevents the transmission of bacteria and fungi.

Do you want to clean your VR-bril really well? Then place the VR-bril and any controllers in a UV steriliser, such as the UV Smart UV-C Steriliser . This device ensures that with the help of UV-licht, all bacteria and other dirt are removed from the headset. When the headset comes out of the device, you can be sure that you can use the headset with peace of mind!

Staff should be trained. They need to know how to handle situations if there are suspicions of a Coronavirus infection and follow the guidelines of local authorities. So, not only knowing how to maintain hygiene but also recognising signs such as a high temperature and shortness of breath. They can then assess whether it is a good idea for the visitor to engage in VR and whether there is an increased risk of infection.

We mentioned it earlier; large gatherings such as shows, fairs, and conferences are the most risky. As an organisation, always consider the health and safety of staff when deciding to attend and the measures to take if you choose to be present.
