Minimize unnecessary head movements

Maintain an upright posture

Note
The Galaxy XR is designed for optimal performance in seated or standing positions. Lying down may cause focus issues, slipping, damage to the fit dial, or the fabric back band to lose tension and become less secure. For the best experience, ensure the device is used in a stable position.
