Fun fact about wiping the headset down —- there’s a study at Yale to determine whether the Oculus mask can be sufficiently sanitized for safe use in pediatric cancer wings (a high bar) because of it’s form factor and immersive experience. Turns out it absolutely cannot. Sanitizing that mask is practically impossible.

Is this with or without a silicon cover on the foam face guard? Silicon has worked really well for me from a cleanliness perspective.
Yeah I highly doubt you could sanitize to medical needs levels but the casual user should be fine.
