Hello, my name is Arnel. I'm a game host.
Why does the headset feel strange?
A VR headset has a small screen inside, close to your eyes. Lenses make the picture look big, so the game seems to be all around you.
Straps hold the headset snugly, so it might feel heavy or tight. When you turn your head, the picture moves too. Sometimes your eyes see motion while your body stays still. That might make you feel dizzy. You can tell a staff member or your grown-up how you feel.
When the game ends, you lift the headset off, sometimes with a staff member's help.
Thanks for watching!
