Storing and Viewing Logistics:

• Store the kit and charge it’s contents in a lockable room off the Library
• Use a classes allotted library time to experience VR field trips
• Keep seated while wearing the goggles. There is no need for explorers to move around the room. This can cause unforeseen injury or damage to the equipment
• Keep the sessions to a maximum of 30 minutes to avoid eye fatigue and/or nausea
• Use the 20 second rule. Once attaching the goggles to your head keep still and stare straight ahead for 20 seconds before moving around within the expedition. This technique has proven effective in helping to control symptoms of dizziness/nausea
• Leverage the more experienced VR users/classes to teach the less- experienced about the setup instructions and the best practices
