Introduction
Before using VR hardware, consult the Oculus Health and Safety Warnings at
www.oculus.com/legal/health-and-safety-warnings ↗.
When you participate in VR simulations, your instructor will likely have the equipment and play space
set up, but please become familiar with how to fit your headset properly (Headset Fit) as well as how to
use the controllers (Using the Oculus Controllers). If you like to learn more about managing the VR
play space, see Managing the VR Play Space.
Headset Fit
The headset is the user’s window into the VR world, and it is vital to the VR experience that the headset
is worn snugly with the display in focus. See the following Oculus Support pages and videos on
headset fit:

Overview

1. Usage Features
2. Maintenance Features

This manual describes the Simulation Learning System with Virtual Reality (SLS VR), a system designed to facilitate immersive learning experiences through virtual reality. The core of this system relies on VR hardware, specifically Oculus headsets and controllers, to create a simulated environment where users can interact with virtual patients and scenarios.

The primary function of the SLS VR system is to provide a realistic and interactive platform for training and education, particularly in fields that benefit from hands-on experience without real-world risks. Users wear a VR headset, which serves as their "window into the VR world," and use handheld controllers to manipulate objects and perform actions within the virtual environment. This setup allows for a high degree of immersion, enabling users to practice procedures, make decisions, and observe consequences in a safe, controlled setting.

Usage Features:

The SLS VR system is designed for ease of use, with a focus on intuitive interaction within the virtual environment. Before beginning a simulation, users are advised to consult the Oculus Health and Safety Warnings to ensure a safe experience. The instructor typically handles the initial setup of the equipment and play space, but users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with key aspects of the hardware, including headset fit and controller usage.

Headset Fit: Proper headset fit is crucial for an optimal VR experience. The manual emphasizes that the headset must be worn snugly and the display kept in focus to ensure clarity and comfort. The system supports various Oculus Quest models, and specific guidance is provided for each:

• Oculus Quest 1 Headset Fit: Users can refer to the Oculus Support page and a dedicated video for instructions on fitting the original straps of the Quest 1 headset.
• Oculus Quest 2 Headset Fit: Similar resources are available for the Quest 2, including an Oculus Support page and a video demonstrating how to fit the original straps.
• Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap with Battery: For users with this accessory, an Oculus Support page and a video guide are provided to ensure correct fitting of the Elite Strap.

The manual highlights that issues like blurriness or discomfort in VR are often related to improper headset fit, reinforcing the importance of adjusting the headset until it feels comfortable and the display is clear.

Using the Oculus Controllers: The Oculus controllers are the primary interface for interacting with the virtual world. The manual includes a detailed diagram mapping the buttons on both the left and right controllers, along with a legend explaining each component:

• Thumbsticks (#1): Used for navigation and specific actions like drawing or pushing medication in a vial.
• Menu button (left controller - #2): Provides access to the SimX pop-up menu window.
• Oculus button (right controller - #3): A short press pauses the simulation or exits the SimX app. A long press (3 seconds) recenters the virtual environment to the current headset position. This button can also be pressed to show the main Oculus menu if it is hidden.
• Battery covers (#4): Indicate the location of the battery compartments.
• Grip buttons (#5): Used for various interactions within the VR environment.
• Triggers (#6): Squeezed to pick up tools or grab objects, such as medication bottles or tablets.

Within the SimX VR application, these controllers enable a wide range of interactions. Users can signal to each other, point to objects, perform physical exam maneuvers on a virtual patient, use a stethoscope, pick up a virtual tablet that houses the Electronic Health Record (EHR), and navigate through VR menus.

The manual details specific button pushes required for certain actions:

• Trigger (#6): Squeeze to pick up tools or grab objects like medication bottles or tablets.
• X/Y (left) and A/B (right) Buttons: Press to point, draw medication from a vial, or depress a syringe plunger when holding a syringe.
• Menu Button (left controller - #2): Press to access the SimX pop-up menu window.
• Oculus Button (right controller - #3): A short press pauses the simulation or exits the SimX app. A long press (3 seconds) recenters the virtual environment.
• Thumbsticks (#1): Used to draw or push medication back into a medication vial.

The system also allows for natural hand movements for many actions, such as swiping tablet pages, checking pulses, and examining the abdomen. If a user accidentally presses the Menu or Oculus buttons during a simulation, simply pressing the button again will exit the unintended menu.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual primarily focuses on usage, it implicitly addresses maintenance through its emphasis on proper setup and fit. Ensuring the headset is worn correctly and the display is in focus contributes to the longevity and optimal performance of the device by preventing user discomfort or potential misuse that could lead to damage. The guidance on headset fit, including references to Oculus Support pages and videos, serves as a form of user-level maintenance, empowering individuals to correctly configure their equipment for each session.

The document does not delve into technical maintenance or troubleshooting beyond user-adjustable settings like headset fit. For more detailed guidance on the Oculus Quest hardware, users are directed to consult their instructor or review the Oculus Support Center, indicating that advanced maintenance or troubleshooting would typically be handled by support personnel or through official Oculus resources. The system is designed to be robust for its intended educational use, with the primary "maintenance" for the end-user being adherence to proper setup and usage guidelines. The focus is on ensuring a functional and comfortable experience during simulations, rather than on hardware repair or complex system upkeep.
