I think it is something to do with damaging eye development at younger ages - looking at a screen that close for long periods.
2-3 years old with no updates, and only 2 places to go.. This is basically a one-time play and don't expect any updates for new locations.
You can also download the YouTube app and there are VR videos on it that explore places around the world and many other type videos for free.

The quest is a standalone system, meaning that the processor (and everything else you need to run the games) is built into the headset. Basically that means that the question has its own console/platform - no PC required.

  • Requires a minimum playspace of 6.5 ft x 6.5 ft.
  • Very positive reviews, with the exception of a common complaint that the experience is too short (2 expeditions).

Quote from dagadu :
FYI: Any VR is not recommended under 13 years old.

I have a Quest 1 and Quest 2 that are hugely popular with our friends' kids who come and visit. They're all well under 13. Our kids are 7 and 9 and they've been playing for well over a year now. Not often, but they play, and mostly semi/unsupervised. I'm not sure the reasons for 13 being the recommended age. Oculus Guardian boundary works great. The kids are very capable of using the controllers. If they start feeling nauseous, they stop immediately because it's not pleasant.

I can understand some of that, but I don't know how much worse it is vs staring at a tablet or phone, which kids tend to do a lot more. Found a good article summarizes some potential concerns here: https://www.scienceabc.com/innova...rtableness.

In the end, it's about making sure the kid's view is comfortable, limiting time spent in VR, and keep an eye on him/her.

AFAIK, the under 13 thing is because Facebook/Meta account currently requires you to be 13
