Helpful Hints​

Absolutely! Here are some suggestions to elevate your VR wellness session:

• Sensory Enhancements: Use fragrant oils or lotions on your chest or neck to deepen the immersive feeling.

• Stargazing Mode: While in any immersion, lie down to admire the virtual sky, mimicking the serenity of the outdoors. Ensure your space is safe and free from obstructions.

• Comfort First: Drape a soft blanket on your seating or lying area. This added touch enhances your comfort and relaxation.

• Taste Delights: Enhance the multisensory experience by indulging in some chocolate, fruit, or a favorite snack.

• Elevated Viewing: For those seeking a heightened sensation and have a safe setup, consider using a hammock or hanging chair. This can simulate a weightless experience, enhancing your immersion. Please prioritize safety and attempt this with caution.

Customize your environment to your preferences but always ensure safety is a priority before embarking in the world of Exhale XR.

At Home​

• Ambiance Matters: Enhance your relaxation zone with calming aromas using diffusers, incense, or scented candles. Remember to always extinguish flames before entering VR.

• Dim the Lights: Ensure you've marked out your safe area and then lower the lighting for a cozier environment.

• Quietude is Key: Choose a spot away from frequent interruptions, allowing you to deeply immerse in your VR experience.

• Comfy Seating: Utilizing soft cushions, bean bags, or a plush recliner can elevate your relaxation during the VR experience.

• Temperature Control: Ensure the room is set at a comfortable temperature. Pairing your VR experience with a room that’s too hot or too cold can distract from the immersion.

• Tech-Ready: Have a designated charging spot or ensure your VR device is always charged, so you can hop into relaxation without delay.

• Session Schedule: If possible, try setting aside dedicated times during the week for your VR relaxation. This creates a routine, helping the mind prepare and anticipate relaxation.

​At the Office

• Scent Enhancements: In shared spaces, opt for personal fragrance application, like aromatic oils or lotions on your neck or wrist.

• Noise Control: If the office is noisy, quality headphones can help you focus on the VR experience. This is especially useful for mobile app users.

• Hygiene: Keep alcohol wipes and lens cloths handy for periodic headset cleaning. This ensures longevity, a clear view and sanitary devices.

• Safety First: Opt for a comfortable seat or secluded corner. It's essential to a quality session, to remain undisturbed during your session.

• Secure Valuables: Before entering VR, especially in public spaces, ensure your personal items are safe. Always be mindful when blocking out your senses in unfamiliar environments.

• Portable Comfort: Consider carrying a small cushion or neck pillow to make office chairs more comfortable for VR sessions.

• Break Time Sync: If possible, sync your VR relaxation sessions with regular breaks or lunchtime. This ensures you're taking actual breaks from work and returning refreshed.

• Friendly Notification: Inform close colleagues about your VR break, so they don't unintentionally disturb you or are alarmed seeing you with the headset.

• Storage: Have a safe storage spot for your VR headset to avoid potential damage when not in use.

For both settings, it's beneficial to have a brief pre-VR routine, such as deep breathing or light stretching, to prep your body and mind for the immersive relaxation experience. Additionally, before diving into any VR experience, ensure a safety check of your surroundings to avoid potential hazards.

Safety and comfort are key when diving into the world of virtual reality. Here are some best practices to consider:

1. Spatial Awareness: Before starting any VR session, ensure you have a clear and safe space free from obstacles. Familiarize yourself with the boundaries and remember they exist even when you're immersed in VR.

2. Time Limit: Consider taking breaks every so often to prevent fatigue and to reorient yourself in the real world.

3. Hydration: It's easy to lose track of time in VR. Remember to stay hydrated, especially if you're engaging in a longer session.

4. Children and Young Adults: Parental or guardian supervision is recommended for younger VR enthusiasts. Always refer to your device’s guidelines regarding age restrictions.

5. Sanitation: Regularly clean and sanitize your headset, especially if it's being shared. This prevents the buildup of dirt and ensures a comfortable experience for everyone.

6. Physical Comfort: Make sure you're in a comfortable position, whether sitting or standing, to reduce strain. If at any time you feel dizzy, nauseous, or uncomfortable, it's a good sign to take a break.

7. Stay Informed: Always refer to your VR headset manual for the most specific safety and cleaning sanitation practices.

Remember, VR is an exciting and immersive experience, but real-world safety should always be a priority. Enjoy your journey with Exhale XR | VR Wellness responsibly!
