This is what I've seen used at various shows to help with that (and eye herpes).

I already have a pack of 100 of these from Mogura VR Amazon Store that guests use when they are going to play games that you sweat allot in.

I got me some of these:

On a serious note, they were handing out these "VR ninja" masks at SVVR. Basically, paper toilet seat covers for your face.

At VRLA last year I made the mistake of trying Island 359 (or whatever that dinosaur game was called) after someone else had played for five or more minutes. When I put the Vive on, the face foam was soaking full of sweat. Ugggghhhhh...

What about these?

These might be a good idea for an event. No idea how they hold up though.

VR Covers for either Vive or Rift would be essential for a both hygiene and comfort.

Something you may not have considered is that frail people have frail skin and you are going to want to make sure that you are not putting too much pressure on that skin causing irritation or bruising/tearing. More importantly for people on blood thinners. Sure those of us who have been using both the Vive and the Rift don't have issues but we also don't have fragile skin. Incase someone pipes up with "My grandma/grandpa didn't have issues" Not every old person is the same.

Keep that in mind when choosing a headset and covers. You want maximum comfort and ease of putting on and taking off.

Foam

The Vive currently has softer foam with the Rift's being quite hard. Covers should resolve this for both headsets. Some third party sellers even offer softer foam.

Even the Gear VR foam was pretty rough on my dads skin.

And maybe even hygiene covers

Integrated Headphones

Don't underestimate integrated headhpones as this will make putting on and taking off the headset really easy. The Vive will have these soon so that will not be an issue in the longer term. The way both flip up allows them to still hear you giving instructions while also hearing the experience in VR.

Wireless Signals

The comment someone else made before about certain areas of hospitals not allowing wireless devices. Keep that in mind. Even ignorant doctors might freak out for those with pacemakers or other medical devices. Sure it will likely not affect them but you are not going to get anywhere arguing with a doctor who decides if you are allowed into their institution or not.

Both headseats use wireless comms unless you used the Rift with a Wired XBox Controller. The XBox controller might be a bit confusing for the elderly. The Rift Remote might be simpler however does use low power wireless comms. That said it looks like a simple remote so might past scrutiny from ill informed doctors.

Seated experiences

You will only need one lighthouse or Rift sensor for seated experiences so both headsets are on par for simplicity of setup. The Vive will need a very short setup config when you move the lighthouses and the Rift will not (for one sensor). It is an insignificant step on the Vive but worth pointing out if you are moving it every 15 minutes from bed to bed.

And as another poster said. Lets not turn this thread into a Rift/Vive debate as both headsets will work great. Keep that at the door this topic is about helping frail people not justifying your purchase. Obviously pointing out pros/cons for a hospice environment are encouraged of course.

That's what I ended up getting

Ninja mask for hygiene is your friend, I use them for demos all the time. Won't keep sweat out but helps with direct contact face oils. Also get comfortable in adjusting the lens distance and set them back for people with glasses so they don't damage the lenses.

Ah, dude.

I wear ChillIt headcovers, ninja masks 3x over, a Coolit towel dampened with cold water on my neck, all this even before I put on Vive. And two fans blowing on me and the AC on. I hate summer.

Because i'm getting annoyed at swapping/cleaning the two foams back and forth so often due to sweating like a pig/hooker in a church.

> disposable vr cover

He means these

You mentioned covers for sweaty games. Can you recommend any?

I'm especially interested to know if there are any disposable types. I've heard of people using some for VR demos but I can never track down somewhere to buy them.

Edit: Found it! These were the ones I was thinking of.

Amazon link for those who don't use Ebay:

In addition to the VRCovers (which I recommend the sport/fake leather cover), There are also disposable covers which should probably be mentioned. I've seen some generic all-purpose white covers on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Hygiene-VR-headset-Oculus-PlayStation/dp/B01DHKBVQQ?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

I think you're supposed to loop those around your ears then place the HMD on.

I also know HTC will be selling disposable covers for the Vive very shortly. You can already get them in the UK if you can stomach their insane shipping. Hopefully they'll be available state-side shortly (and sensible shipping options in the UK).

Yeah when I picked out my floor mat materials on Amazon, it said "Other people who purchased this also bought https://www.amazon.com/Hygiene-VR-headset-Oculus-PlayStation/dp/B01DHKBVQQ "
