Thanks for your continuing coverage of VR hygiene products, Kevin.

I've tried the phone setups. Haven't gotten sick or died yet.

I once got an acne breakout just from having my eyeglasses fitted by someone who apparently had gotten complacent about hygiene. And that was in spite of me washing my face & glasses after I got home.

It's not exactly an urgent public health crisis, but the risks are certainly high enough to be worth mitigating. A lot of nasty things can be spread through indirect hair & skin contact: measles & chicken pox, scabies, MRSA, lice, and I'm sure many others. It just makes sense to take precautions.

I'll probably be giving an internal demo of some VR & possibly AR tech, at my job. I will certainly make the demo as hygienic as possible. Even though I doubt anyone there will have any nasty communicable diseases, some people just wouldn't try it, otherwise.
