Risks associated with freedom of movement

With built-in VR technology, your headset tracks your head movements and hand gestures which can transform your physical surroundings into a virtual world. With its wireless design, the device offers users freedom to move without fear of being tangled from all the wires.


Please ensure that the play environment is as safe as possible to prevent injury.

Use Only in a Safe Environment:

the headset generates an immersive virtual reality experience that may distract you from your actual surroundings. It is important to select a suitable space for the play area before you start using the device.

Setting Up Your Safe Play Area

  • Observe your surroundings and choose a suitable play area before starting to use the device.

  • The play area needs to be at least 3 meters in length and width.

  • You are responsible for ensuring your play area is well-maintained and safe at all times.

  • The device is specifically designed for indoor use.

  • Clear any obstacles before using the device. Ensure that the play area is spacious enough to prevent collision with other people, objects, furniture, ceiling fans, or other items. Please also make sure to avoid areas which may cause you to lose balance during playing such as stairs, open doorways, or windows. Failure to do so may cause property damage or serious injury.

  • While using the headset, you may be unaware of other people (particularly children) or pets entering your play area. You may set a warning sign or barrier to prevent them from entering the area.
    While with headset on, avoid facing blank walls, transparent glass, and strong lights closely, which may cause issues with the tracking system.

  • Disclaimer: Please use the headset with cautions. XRSPACE will not be liable for injuries or any loss of life/health/property to yourself or others while using the headset.

Interaction of the Real World and the Virtual Environment

  • When using the device for the first time, it is recommended to use it for only a few minutes first to allow your body to adapt to virtual reality. Then gradually increase the usage time.

  • Always take a regular break, at least a 10 to 15 minute-break every 30 minutes, even if you don’t feel that you need it. If you feel any discomfort, take more frequent and longer breaks if necessary. Decide what break schedule works best for you.

  • While exploring the virtual world, avoid fast or abrupt motions, which may cause collisions or loss of balance.

  • If you experience loss of balance when using the headset, remove your headset and take a break until normal sense of balance returns.

  • During playing, do not sit on the objects that appear in the virtual environment or use them for support. Those objects do not exist in the real world.

  • Some VR applications and games may require you to stand or move around your play area. Otherwise, please remain seated on a flat and stable platform to ensure your safety.

  • To prevent facial injury during sessions, take extra care not to fall or hit your face if using the headset with glasses on.

  • Using the headset will require more space as you may extend your arms fully out to the sides and/or over your head. For safety, please ensure that the play area and the area overhead are free from hazards such as furniture, boxes, ceiling fan, or other similar items.

  • The play area should have a level and even surface. Make sure to first remove any tripping hazards, such as loose carpets and rugs, from the play area before you start using the device.

  • While inside the virtual world, if you feel someone or something entering the play area, pause the experience and remove the headset to check your surroundings. Ensure that the play area is safe before resuming.

  • To avoid injury, do not handle sharp or dangerous objects while using the device.

  • Be careful not to strike yourself with the controller when moving and/or extending your arms during the game.


Prohibited Uses

  • The device is intended for indoor use. The device may not function correctly and you may be exposed to uncontrolled hazards if used outdoors.

  • To prevent unexpected accidents, do not use the device while jogging, riding your bike, or driving your car.

  • Do not use the device in a moving vehicle as this may cause motion sickness and/or other unpleasant symptoms.

Guardian System 1.0

  • The Guardian system is a virtual boundary system designed to protect you while using the headset in a limited play area. In VR, you may need to move around. The system will alert you when you are getting closer to the boundaries to avoid collisions with objects or other obstacles in your surroundings, preventing tripping hazards and/or personal injuries.

  • Please clear a safe range of motion as the play area. The length and width of the play area should be at least greater than 3 meters, and there should be no obstacles in the play area. For your safety, when you are too close to the boundary of the play area, the system will trigger a grid of virtual walls to warn you. When you cross the border, the system will automatically switch to the pass-through mode. Please return to the originally set security range to ensure your safety. If you need to recalibrate a new safe range of motion, you can press the "function button" on the head-mounted display once.

  • The Guardian system will only alert you when close to the boundaries of your play area. If your movement carries you beyond the defined area, the system will not be able to alert you of the possible danger. Ensure that there are no hazardous areas (such as stairwells, windows, etc.) and clear the obstacles before using the device. Please also note that the system may not work properly in areas with mirrors or glass.

  • Please make sure that the above of the play area is clear from potential hazards such as light fixtures and ceiling fans.

  • The Guardian system cannot identify the items in your play area. Before using the device, please make sure to clear obstacles such as furniture, lamps, and also take steps to prevent other people or pets from entering the play area.

  • Be cautious about boundary alerts and always follow the tips or guidelines shown on the screen.

  • Always inspect the headset for any damage before each use. If the Guardian system is not working properly, please contact XRSPACE Support.


The Pass-Through Camera


  • The pass-through camera uses the front-facing optical sensors embedded on your headset to display real world surroundings within the headset. Compatible with the Guardian system, the pass-through camera will switch from virtual to real world view automatically when you venture beyond the Guardian system boundaries.

  • When viewing through the pass-through camera, you may notice visual latency due to different field-of-view between the camera and your eyes (without using the device). Prolonged viewing of the physical world through the pass-through camera may cause depth perception and motion sickness problems.

  • The pass-through camera exists only for safety purpose, please do not use this feature for other non-intended purposes.

  • Make sure to follow the precautions below when using the pass-through camera.


    • For your safety, when using the pass-through feature, always move slowly and cautiously.

    • Avoid using the pass-through camera to navigate the real world, except for short distance, such as moving to your original play area. Always use the pass-through camera in environments that are safe and familiar to you.

    • Avoid taking sloped surfaces and stairs while using your headset’s pass-through camera.

    • Always remove your headset for any real world situation that requires use of coordination or your full attention.

    • Take off your headset immediately and return to your play area if the pass-through camera view fades out.

    • Avoid prolonged use of the pass-through feature, the view of the physical world may be deranged otherwise.

    • Avoid blocking the camera to prevent loss of tracking.
