If the customer’s Wi-Fi network and the corresponding Internet connection are not fast enough, it is possible that the video from the VR glasses is not shown and the VR glasses might react to the commands of the remote control with a delay. The trouble-free function of the remote control is exclusively dependent on the customer’s Wi-Fi network and Internet. Magic Horizons GmbH has no influence on this.
  • Note 2: The “Photonengine” service from the company Exit Games is used for the technical remote control of the VR glasses and the option of speaking to the users in the VR glasses via a virtual microphone.
