Hygiene with VR glasses at public events

Hygiene at VR

Risks from unhygienic VR glasses

Unhygienic VR glasses can pose a risk to users' health. For example, bacteria and viruses can colonize the glasses and be transmitted to another user. This can lead to infections of the eyes, skin or even the respiratory tract.

Hygiene measures for VR glasses

  • Regular cleaning and disinfection

    The glasses should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. This can be done with a mild cleaning agent and a cloth, for example. Alternatively, special VR glasses cleaners can also be used.

  • Cleaning before each use

    The glasses should be cleaned by another user before they are worn. This can be done, for example, by the user themselves or by an employee of the event.

  • Only healthy users

    The glasses should only be worn by healthy people. People with acute infections should be discouraged from using the glasses. However, as we are probably not doctors, in most cases it will be difficult to diagnose such illnesses quickly.

 

Disposable face masks

Disposable face masks are another option for improving hygiene when wearing VR glasses at public events. These masks are placed on the face before the goggles are worn, protecting the goggles from skin contact and saliva. The masks can simply be disposed of after wearing, minimizing the risk of transmitting bacteria and viruses.

 

Cleanbox

Another option for cleaning VR glasses is to use a cleanbox. A cleanbox is a device that cleans the glasses with UV light and air pressure. The cleanbox is particularly effective at removing bacteria and viruses. The cleanbox should be cleaned regularly to prevent the transmission of germs.

Additional face pieces

In addition to the measures mentioned above, there is also the option of purchasing additional face pieces for the respective VR glasses. These face pieces can then be replaced during the event if they become heavily soiled. 

Washable face masks

It is also advisable to choose VR goggles that can be easily washed off the face mask piece. This is because some foam rubber face pieces can soak up sweat and dirt and be extremely unhygienic. When cleaning face masks, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. The mask should then be allowed to dry thoroughly before being used again. Washable face pieces for all common goggles can be obtained from Vr Cover.

Further tips on hygiene with VR glasses

  • The glasses should be stored in a dry and clean place after wearing.
  • The glasses should not come into contact with other objects, such as bags or clothing.
  • The glasses should not be touched by hand unless absolutely necessary.

Conclusion

The hygiene of VR glasses at public events is an important issue in order to protect the health of users. Compliance with the above measures can significantly reduce the risk of infection.
