Important Health and Safety Information
Seizures Induced by Light Stimulation (Photosensitive Epilepsy)
If you have an epileptic condition or have had seizures, consult your doctor before using this software. Some individuals are sensitive to flashing or flickering lights, geometric shapes, or patterns, may have an undetected epileptic condition, and may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to visual stimulation.
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and consult your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms during use:
• Eye soreness
• Altered vision
• Migraine
• Muscle twitching
• Convulsion or other involuntary movements
• Blackout
• Loss of awareness
• Confusion or disorientation
General Health and Comfort
Participants may experience discomfort during the virtual navigation exercises. Early signs can include taking deep breaths, closing or rubbing your eyes, or feeling unusually tired — even before you feel overtly unwell. Some participants also develop a headache.
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY if you experience any discomfort whatsoever, including but not limited to:
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Eye strain or discomfort
• Symptoms similar to motion sickness
• A general sense of not feeling well
• Discomfort or pain in any part of the body
Continuing use when symptoms are present will not make them better. Stop as soon as you notice any of the above. If symptoms persist after 24 hours, consult your healthcare professional.
Safe Use Guidelines
• Use in a well-lit environment and maintain a distance of at least 1 metre from your screen.
• Avoid prolonged use. We recommend taking a 15-minute break for every hour of use.
• Do not use the software when tired or in need of sleep.
• New eyewear: If you are adapting to new prescription glasses or bifocals, it is not advisable to use this software during the adaptation period, as this may contribute to visual discomfort.
• If any symptom persists after stopping use, seek medical attention.
