• Try playing games using the sitting play style at first. Move on to more dynamic movements once you’re comfortable with seated gaming.
• Try to make sure your play-area is well-ventilated.
• Slowly build up your time using the VR headset. This will give you a chance to get used to the new sensations of VR. Set a timer to remind yourself to take breaks.
