• Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can be intense. Frightening, violent or anxiety provoking content can cause your body to react as if it were real. Carefully choose your content if you have a history of discomfort or physical symptoms when experiencing these situations.

• A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an unimpaired sense of motion. Do not use the holoride service, holoride retrofit device, or a virtual reality headset when you are: Tired; need sleep; under the influence of alcohol or drugs; hung-over; have digestive problems; under emotional stress or anxiety; or when suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.

• We recommend seeing a doctor before using the holoride service, holoride retrofit device, or a virtual reality headset if you are pregnant or elderly, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or psychiatric disorders, or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition.

2.3 Warning: Medical Advisory

Seizures

Some people may experience dizziness, seizures, eye fatigue, motion sickness, epilepsy, fainting, severe dizziness, other symptoms caused by flashes and images, or muscle, joint, neck, or head pain. This may occur while experiencing virtual reality, even if the user has never had a seizure or blackout before or has no history of seizures or epilepsy. Anyone who experiences any of these symptoms should discontinue use of the holoride service and any virtual reality headset and see a doctor. If you previously had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, you should consult a doctor before using the holoride service or a virtual reality headset.

Repetitive Stress Injury

Using a virtual reality headset with game controllers can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt. If any part of your body becomes tired or sore while using the headset or its components, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before using it again. If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after use, stop use and see a doctor.

Interferences with Medical Devices

The holoride retrofit device as well as virtual reality headsets and game controllers contain magnets or components that emit radio waves, which could affect the operation of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and defibrillators. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use these devices without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device. Maintain a safe distance between these devices and your medical devices, and stop using these devices if you observe a persistent interference with your medical device.

2.4 Warning: Age Requirement/Children

The holoride technology should not be used by children under the age of 13, including because the virtual reality headset is not sized for children and incorrect sizing can lead to discomfort, personal injury or bodily harm to the child or others, property damage, or other harm or damage. Younger children also are in a critical period of visual development. Adults should make sure children (age 13 and older) use the holoride service or a virtual reality headset in accordance with these health and safety warnings. Adults should monitor children (age 13 and older) who are using or have used the headset for any of the symptoms described in these health and safety warnings and should limit the time children spend using the holoride service or a virtual reality headset and ensure they take breaks during use. Prolonged use should be avoided, as this could negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multitasking ability. Adults should monitor children closely during and after use of the holoride service or a virtual reality headset for any decrease in these abilities.

2.5 Warning: General Precautions

To reduce the risk of injury or discomfort you should always follow these instructions and observe these precautions while using the holoride service, a virtual reality headset or game controllers:

• Use only in a safe environment: The holoride service and a virtual reality headset produce an immersive virtual reality experience that distracts you from and completely blocks your view of your actual surroundings.

• Only use the holoride service or a virtual reality headset and controllers in the rear seat of the vehicle.

• Only use the holoride service or a virtual reality headset when you are able to fully extend your arms without touching the seat in front of you. Serious bodily injury and property damage may result from striking vehicle seats, other objects, or other persons in the vehicle.

  • Take special care to ensure that you maintain a safe distance from other vehicle passengers and objects that you may impact when using—or immediately after using—the holoride service or a virtual reality headset and game controllers.

  • Do not extend your arms over your head.

  • Remain seated with your seatbelt properly fastened during your game and content experience.

• Be sure to connect your virtual reality headset to your seatbelt before using the holoride service or virtual reality headset.

• If you are using the holoride retrofit device, ensure that it is properly and securely installed prior to use. See installation instructions at www.holoride.com/user-guide

• Make sure your virtual reality headset is secured comfortably on your head and that you see a single, clear image.

• Always be aware of your surroundings before beginning use and while using the holoride service or a virtual reality headset or game controllers. Use caution to avoid injury.

• Remember that while using the holoride service, a virtual reality headset and game controllers you may be unaware that people and pets may enter your immediate area.

• Do not handle sharp or otherwise dangerous objects while using the holoride service or a virtual reality headset.

• Never use the holoride service or wear a virtual reality headset in situations that require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.

• Ease into the use of the holoride service and a virtual reality headset to allow your body to adjust. Use for only a few minutes at a time at first, and only increase the amount of time using the holoride service and a virtual reality headset gradually as you grow accustomed to virtual reality.

• Take at least a 10 to 15-minute break every 30 minutes, even if you do not think you need it. Each person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort. You should decide what works best for you.

• Listening to sound at high volumes can cause irreparable damage to your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Due to the immersive nature of the virtual reality experience, do not use the holoride service or a virtual reality headset with the sound at a high volume so that you can maintain awareness of your surroundings and reduce the risk of hearing damage.

2.6 Warning: Discomfort

Immediately discontinue using the holoride service and virtual reality headset if any of the following symptoms are experienced:

• seizures; loss of awareness; eye strain; eye or muscle twitching; involuntary movements; altered, blurred, or double vision or other visual abnormalities; dizziness; disorientation; impaired hand-eye coordination; panic or anxiety attack; excessive sweating; increased salivation; nausea; lightheadedness; discomfort or pain in the head or eyes; drowsiness; fatigue; or any symptoms similar to motion sickness. Just as with the symptoms people can experience after they disembark a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual reality exposure can persist and become more apparent hours after use. These post-use symptoms can include the symptoms above, as well as excessive drowsiness and decreased ability to multitask. These symptoms may put you at an increased risk of injury when engaging in normal activities in the real world.

• Do not drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually or physically demanding activities that have potentially serious consequences (i.e., activities in which experiencing any symptoms could lead to death, personal injury, or damage to property), or other activities that require unimpaired balance and hand-eye coordination (such as playing sports or riding a bicycle, etc.) until you have fully recovered from any symptoms.

• Do not use the holoride service or a virtual reality headset or game controllers until all symptoms have completely subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly configured the headset before resuming use.

• Be mindful of the type of content that you were using prior to the onset of any symptoms because you may be more prone to symptoms based upon the content being used.

• See a doctor if you have serious and/or persistent symptoms.
