Are there age or health restrictions for using the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise?

The use of the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise is generally safe for most users. However, certain age and health precautions should be considered to ensure an optimal and secure experience.

Age restrictions

  • Recommended age: Virtual reality headsets, including the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise, are generally not recommended for children under the age of 13. Since their visual system is still developing, early use could potentially affect vision or lead to other complications.
  • Supervision: For teenagers aged 13 to 18, it is recommended that an adult supervises the use of the headset to ensure proper usage and limit immersion time.

Health considerations

Before using the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise, take the following points into account:

  • Vision problems: Individuals with severe visual impairments, such as strabismus or uncorrected vision, may experience difficulties using the headset. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Photosensitive epilepsy: People with a history of photosensitive epilepsy should be particularly cautious, as exposure to flashing images or certain light patterns in virtual reality may trigger seizures.
  • Balance disorders: Those suffering from dizziness, balance disorders, or inner ear conditions may experience worsening symptoms when using virtual reality.
  • Pregnancy: Pregnant women may be more prone to nausea and dizziness. It is therefore recommended to limit or avoid the use of the headset during pregnancy.

General recommendations

  • Usage time: Limit continuous sessions to 30 minutes, followed by 10 to 15-minute breaks to reduce eye and mental fatigue.
  • Safe environment: Ensure that the headset is used in a clear space, free of obstacles, to avoid falls or collisions.
  • Seated vs. standing: For beginners, it is advisable to start with seated experiences before progressing to applications requiring standing or movement.
  • Hydration: Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged use without breaks, as this can lead to increased fatigue.

While the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise provides an enriching immersive experience, it is essential to adhere to the recommended age limits and consider individual health factors. If you have any doubts or specific medical conditions, consult a healthcare professional before using the headset.
