Rent a VR Headset

FAQ

• Rental

  • Why should you use VR in education?

    VR makes learning more interactive and immersive. Instead of only reading or watching, students can actually experience subjects, which often improves engagement, understanding, and memory.

  • Which learning goals does VR support?

    VR fits well with learning goals related to discovery, collaboration, problem-solving, and technological literacy. It stimulates curiosity and active learning in almost every subject.

  • How can teachers use VR in their lessons?

    The VR headsets are easy to use during regular lessons, project weeks, or themed activities. Teachers can use VR as an introduction, deeper exploration, or reflection moment within a topic. No technical experience is required.

  • Does VR fit with existing school subjects?

    Yes. There are educational VR experiences for geography, biology, history, art, engineering, and physics. Students can, for example, explore volcanoes up close, visit ancient civilizations, or experience space missions.

  • Is VR only suitable for older students?

    No, VR is suitable from around 7 years old. Younger students mainly learn through discovery and experience, while older students can explore more advanced topics such as science, technology, or history.

• Booking

  • How does renting a VR set from you work?

    You reserve a VR set through the website or by email. We confirm the rental period and prepare everything you need: headset, controllers, and chargers. On the agreed day, you pick up the set at VRcafe in Haarlem.

  • What do I need to use a VR set?

    Not much — just a bit of free space and a power outlet. The headsets are wireless and ready to use. A manual is included in the case, and our hosts will briefly explain everything when you pick it up.

  • How long can I rent for?

    You can rent for a day, a weekend, or a week. Want to keep the set longer? Let us know in time, and we will check if an extension is possible.

  • How do I reserve multiple sets at once?

    For business or educational purposes, you can reserve multiple sets at once. Please contact us so we can coordinate availability and the rental period with you.

  • Do I need to pay a deposit?

    A deposit usually applies for consumers. For business or educational rentals, we arrange this administratively in advance.

    Approximately 1.5 × 1.5 meters is enough for most VR experiences. Make sure the floor is free of obstacles and that you have enough room to move.
