Coming into contact with fellow local users could cause injury, collision,
or property damage. Select your shared spaces carefully and follow all
in-app instructions and warnings in setting up and using your activity space(s).
• Each local user should check to make sure activity space(s) are set up to allow safe
interactions without coming into contact with each other.
• Avoid crowding a shared activity space. Having more local users and furniture increases risk
of injury.
• Use caution leaving the same shared boundaries as another user because you may not see the
physical person (or their avatar) when they leave the app.
Misunderstanding that a virtual object is physical or vice versa can lead
to injury (for example, attempting to lean on a virtual table with no
physical table to support or attempting to walk through a virtual couch overlaying a physical
couch). Use Passthrough, stop use of your Meta Quest or remove your headset if you cannot
tell which objects are virtual and which are physical.
Discomfort and Other Physical Symptoms
Stop using your Meta Quest if you feel discomfort or other physical
symptoms during or after use. Don’t resume until you have fully
recovered from discomfort or other symptoms. If you experience ongoing symptoms while or
after using your Meta Quest, avoid visually or physically demanding activities, or other activities
that require unimpaired balance and hand-eye coordination until you have fully recovered.
If discomfort, physical symptoms, or other after-effects continue for a prolonged period or are
serious after you stop use, consult a doctor and don’t resume using your Meta Quest until they
say it’s okay.

use include:
• Discomfort or pain, particularly in the head, eyes, shoulders, neck, back or chest
• Seizures, loss of awareness, or involuntary movements
• Motion sickness ( Motion Sickness), dizziness, disorientation, impaired balance or
impaired hand-eye coordination; unusual sweating; increased salivation; nausea; feeling faint
or lightheaded
• Eye strain, eye or muscle twitching, altered, blurred, or double vision or other visual abnormalities
• Shortness of breath or heart palpitations
