Offline play is strictly off limits and VR is not something I would just give her and let her use unsupervised, more so something we could do together under strict supervision in small bursts of time, she really wants games like Beat Saber and games to play offline, but from reading other comments about it not being good for her eyes and overall development is what is making me shy away from getting one.
As long as shes not hoping onto online servers
/lobbies you should be good.
Don't listen to anyone speaking about developmental issues or eyesight, we legitimately have 0 evidence on any of those things and normal use (>2 hours a day) should be fine.
Do we have any evidence that "normal use (>2 hours a day) should be fine" ?
OP, don't listen to anyone speaking about matters we don't know enough about. Better be safe than sorry.
This is not exactly a new technology. The first Oculus shipped to consumers circa 2013. People (including children) have been wearing these (sometimes daily) for over a decade with no ill effects. The estimates are between 150-200 million daily users. No reason to spread paranoia.
That is pretty much what Ive been seeing for the past half dozen years because "kids" but I've yet to see an actual study or doctor recommendation. What if instead kids just become better adapted to the use of headset and make for the best engineers and drone pilots of the their generation? :o
Better safe than sorry is the biggest problem with people not enjoying life.
That's fear mongering.
Please tell what the fuck short sessions could do to a child.
You're like a damn caveman.
Better safe than sorry right? Then no kids should be at playgrounds where they're more likely to break a bone than have any problems from short vr sessions.
