That's an over exaggeration. It's an issue, but it's also safe and comfortable enough. Like with riding a stationary, I just use a towel from time to time. There are other accessories that help too. You should try it before forming such a strong opinion.



You sound like someone who may be in better shape and / or doesn’t sweat a lot.

You definitely wouldn’t want to use an exercise bike after me if you saw what it looked like when I was done, before I wiped it down.


I sweat a lot. All of it in the upper body including my face. My shirt is drenched and hard to take off post VR workout, even with a towel hanging from my neck. A VR workout is still doable with heavy sweating; you just have to try it several times before dismissing it.


I could very easily be mistaken for having jumped into a lake after I get off the exercise bike. Thoroughly drenched.


Thanks for the feedback. To be clear I was saying I couldn't imagine it being "safe" for the Oculus's internal components, not unsafe for myself.

If the Oculus has a level of water resistance to it that means it can take workout sessions from heavy sweaters that is a pleasant surprise!
