Virtual Reality (VR) is an amazing way to play games—it’s fun, exciting, and totally immersive. But as a parent, you might wonder: “How long should my kids spend in VR?” We all want to keep things balanced, and with the right approach, VR can be a healthy and even active part of your kid’s screen time. A recent BBC article talks about this, and guess what? INCISIV’s VR games were featured! Let’s break it all down.

Why the Time Spent in VR Matters

Most experts suggest keeping VR sessions short—about 20-30 minutes at a time, especially for kids. Why? It’s not just about avoiding eye strain or motion sickness (though that’s important). It’s also about making sure your kids are having fun without overdoing it. Short bursts keep things fresh and exciting.

The type of VR activity is just as important as the length of time. Unlike regular video games, VR can actually get kids moving, which is a huge win in my book.

Making Screen Time More Active with VR

That BBC NI article had a great point—VR isn’t just sitting around. It can actually turn screen time into active, physical play. And that’s where INCISIV’s games, DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer, really shine. These games are built for quick, fun sessions that get kids up and moving.

Here’s why they’re awesome:

  • DodgeCraft: Imagine your kids dodging obstacles and jumping around to avoid getting hit. It’s fast, fun, and a sneaky way to get them exercising without even realizing it (available on Meta Quest).

  • CleanSheet Soccer: Your child becomes a goalkeeper, diving and jumping to stop shots. It’s all about focus, coordination, and movement. Plus, who doesn’t want to make a game-winning save? (Available on PSVR2 and Meta Quest)

Both games are perfect for short, active play—exactly what VR time should be.

Tips for Keeping VR Healthy and Fun

If you’re new to VR or just trying to find a good balance, here are some tips I’ve found helpful:

  1. Stick to Short Sessions: Keep it to 20-30 minutes at a time, and make sure there’s a break in between.
  2. Pick Active Games: Look for games that get kids moving, like DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer. It’s a win-win—fun and fitness together.
  3. Create a Safe Space: Make sure there’s enough room for your kids to move around without bumping into things (or each other!).
  4. Pay Attention: If your kids say they feel dizzy or tired, it’s time to take a break.
