- Upgrade with a cover We asked Millis what else he'd recommend in order to make VR comfortable for everyone and the topic of hygiene came up – which is extremely important right now if you intend to pass the VR headset between friends and family members you're otherwise distancing from.
"We recommend buying a face cover for your headset as soon as possible, like a VR Cover, but other brands are also available," Millis says. "It's comfier than the foam, and it's cleaner too. You can get fabric ones to make it more comfortable or easy-wipe ones which also stop the face cover from absorbing sweat, meaning you can just wipe it down with an anti-bac wipe and then let others (in your household) play too.”
- Create an escape hatch Sorry to suck all the fun out of VR before you've even got started, but it's worth considering what you'll do if a family member needs to get past you (you don't want to hit them if they're walking by just as you're deploying a laser gun), a delivery comes to the door or there's an emergency and you're too immersed in an X-wing cockpit to notice.
I know you want to get on and play, but having a quick chat with whoever you live with or setting some boundaries for yourself will make you feel more relaxed and have a better time in the long run (promise).
