Flashing lights and rapid visual effects may trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitivity or epilepsy. Mitigation is taken to reduce the risk of flashing and triggering imagery within the immersive room; however, it cannot be ruled out.
If unsure, it is recommended that users with a history of epilepsy or photosensitivity consult with a doctor before engaging in immersive experiences.

Even though content is designed and sourced carefully, it is possible that some users will find specific content intense or disorienting.
If a user feels overwhelmed or disorientated within the immersive room, communicate to immediately end the immersive experience.
We encourage users to be mindful of their own health and limitations, and they have the option to opt out of activities if they feel unwell or unsure.
It is strongly advised that users notify a staff member of any conditions (e.g., epilepsy, vertigo, or photosensitivity) or levels of anxiety that might affect their experience, so that proper precautions can be taken.
Ensure users know whom to approach if they need help or need to exit the experience quickly due to health concerns.
In instances when props are used within the space, users are recommended to move around with caution to avoid trip hazards such as cabling and smaller props.
UWTSD Immersive Rooms are supported by the Digital Experience and Engagement Team.
