Problem
Shared virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets can harbor and transmit harmful pathogens due to their close contact with users' faces and heads. Traditional cleaning methods, such as antibacterial wipes, are often ineffective on complex surfaces, time-consuming, and prone to human error, leading to inconsistent disinfection.
Solution
Cleanbox Technology provides UVC LED disinfection systems designed to rapidly and safely sanitize VR/AR headsets and other frequently touched devices. The patented UVC LED technology achieves a 99.999% disinfection rate in as little as one minute, eliminating the need for chemical agents and manual cleaning. Unlike traditional UVC bulb systems, Cleanbox UVC LED systems are guaranteed not to damage fabrics, plastics, lenses, or electronics. The systems offer customizable solutions that can disinfect between 50-400 headsets per hour, providing a scalable and cost-effective hygiene solution.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations that utilize shared VR/AR headsets and other frequently touched devices, including those in the commercial, educational, healthcare, manufacturing, government, and entertainment sectors.
