Health & Safety

Oceanvelle is a calm, stationary ocean experience. Please read this before you begin.

Your space

Clear a safe area around you. Move furniture, pets and fragile things out of reach. Stay aware of your real surroundings, and remove the headset if you are unsure where you are.

Sit if you can

We recommend sitting. If you stand, keep your feet steady and avoid turning quickly. Oceanvelle never moves you through the scene. You turn in small steps.

Rest often

Pause every so often, even if you feel fine. Look at something far away, drink some water and stretch.

Stop if you feel unwell

Take off the headset and rest if you notice dizziness, nausea, eye strain, headache, sweating, disorientation or any discomfort. Do not use it again until you feel completely better.

Light sensitivity

A small number of people experience seizures or blackouts from flashing lights or patterns. If you or anyone in your family has a history of this, ask your doctor before using VR. Stop at once if you feel unusual.

Who should check first

If you are pregnant, are elderly, or have a heart, balance, vision or other medical condition, ask your doctor before using VR. Please do not use it when tired, unwell, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

Age

Oceanvelle is for ages 13 and over. Younger children should not use it.

Not medical

Oceanvelle is not a medical device. It offers no medical advice, diagnosis or care. If you have health concerns, please talk to a qualified professional.
