Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the LowCostAT team! 🎄 Wishing you a safe and restful break.

Extend your therapy sessions and improve headset comfort with this Universal VR Back Strap. Designed to securely hold a mobile power bank (not included) onto the rear of your VR headset strap, this accessory serves a dual purpose: it significantly extends battery life for longer sessions and acts as an ergonomic counter-weight to reduce neck strain. It is a simple yet vital piece of low cost assistive technology for any NDIS participant using VR for rehabilitation or therapy.
Standard VR headsets can be front-heavy and have limited battery life. This strap addresses these barriers by:
Improving Ergonomics (Counter-Balancing): By securing a power bank to the back of the head strap, this accessory shifts the center of gravity backwards. This counter-balances the front-heavy visor, relieving pressure on the cheeks and reducing neck strain, which is critical for participants with neck weakness, chronic pain, or fatigue.
Enabling Extended Therapy: Many therapeutic applications (e.g., social skills groups, exposure therapy, or pain management distraction) require sessions longer than the standard 2-hour battery life. This holder allows for continuous power, preventing interruptions that can break focus or cause distress.
Enhancing Safety & Mobility: Unlike keeping a battery in a pocket with a long trailing cable (which is a snag/trip hazard), this strap keeps the power source and short cable contained on the headset itself. This allows for safe, untethered movement during physical rehab exercises.
Universal Compatibility: The flexible design fits almost any VR headset strap (including Quest 2, Quest 3, and 3S) and accommodates various sizes of mobile power banks.
Secure & Adjustable Fit: Features a strong, adjustable sticky strap (hook and loop) that grips the power bank firmly, ensuring it doesn't slip or wobble during active movements.
Skin-Friendly Neoprene: Crafted from soft, eco-friendly neoprene. It is breathable, lightweight, and gentle against the back of the head or neck, ensuring comfort during extended wear.
Cable Management: Includes pre-existing holes to route charging cables neatly, keeping them out of the user's face and arms.
Cost-Effective Solution: Allows you to use any standard power bank you already own to upgrade your VR setup, avoiding the need for expensive proprietary battery straps.
