Do you have a use of your Virtual Reality headset that involves various trips? Whether for simple trips, rentals, events or trade shows, it is necessary to be able to transport your VR equipment in a practical and safe way. VR headsets are fragile and valuable devices, which is why you need to be able to ensure their integrity wherever you want to use them. Our team gives you 7 tips so that you can take your VR headset with you anywhere with a light mind.

1)    Choose a secure transport accessory

 When traveling, your helmet can get roughed up among your luggage. It is therefore necessary to ensure that it is safe. To do this, you can rely on accessories such as a suitcase or a reinforced storage bag. Some of these transport accessories are specially designed to accommodate a Virtual Reality headset. Often, their interior parts allow a secure and solid hold of the material through spaces in pre-cut foam or even pockets in fitted fabrics

 

2)    Easy to transport: promote efficiency.

There are certain facilities that can help you handle your VR equipment more easily once it has been stored, such as wheels on a suitcase, an extendable handle or even a shoulder strap. If your storage accessory does not have one, we invite you to add them yourself (straps, shoulder straps, fasteners, etc.).

 

3)    Unity: Keep your helmet with its accessories

Keeping all of your VR equipment together (namely the headset, its controllers, cables, base stations and all other related accessories) helps prevent the loss of an element and saves time during the installation. Place your equipment before use. It is therefore preferable to transport and store your helmet in the same space as the accessories necessary for its operation.

4)    See twice: plan for breakdowns and losses

Anticipate losses or malfunctions so you don't find yourself caught off guard. Some items of your hardware may be duplicated such as trackers, batteries, controllers, and cabling. An extra battery can save you time in extended sessions, an extra cable can prevent another from malfunctioning, etc.

 

5)    Protect your VR headset

Damaging your equipment when you are away from home can be problematic, even more when the equipment itself is the reason for the trip. So the protection is not limited to transport and it’s extends to the storage and use. To do this, you can count on a protective cover or shell for your helmet and even its controllers. Save your equipment from shocks, dust, scratches and all kinds of marks thanks to silicone, fabric, imitation leather and other suitable materials protections.

6)    Health precautions: maintain hygiene

Depending on the places you go, the health situation can be more or less delicate. It is therefore essential to take the necessary precautions by using at least the products dedicated to clean and hygienic protection of your VR headset. For example, you can add cleaning spray and self-adhesive hygienic protections to your luggage.

7)    Location: Make sure you have the prerequisites for a good setup

Whatever places you want to go, it is necessary to keep yourself informed of the elements necessary for the smooth running of the VR sessions such as a good internet connection (in cases where it is required), compatible sockets for devices which must be plugged in and finally a suitable space for use (surface, lighting, size, cleanliness).
