• Remain seated unless your game or content
experience requires standing or moving around
your play space. If you are using the headset while
seated, make sure you are seated on a secure
surface and stable platform.

the headset.
• Remember that while using the headset you may be
unaware that people and pets may enter your play

away from your hands. Use caution when moving
your hands and arms so you do not strike yourself
with the Oculus Touch controllers.
