The coverage gap most often missed
The gap most often missed by VR and immersive centers is a participant exclusion. Policies written for arcades or entertainment venues may exclude injuries to people taking part in an activity, and VR players are moving blind. Emergency-room visits for VR injuries rose about tenfold from 2017 to 2021. Confirm players are covered, list simulators separately, and pad walls in every play area.
