Extreme Danger Zone!

Beware space debris.

Your program doesn't require movement OR doesn't communicate that requirement before student admission

VR is likely not the right choice

Using a VR headset most often not only requires vision, but also movement such as:

The use of both hands (alternative options exist, but are rare)
Upper body movement (alternative options are more common for this)
A strong neck and shoulders

Some, but not all, VR programs require the ability to walk.

It doesn't matter if your field requires these if you don't have such movements as a requirement of admission. Using VR in your courses would leave you prone to lawsuits without that clearly communicated to students before they enter your academic program.

Proceed, with Caution

Don't plan to very carefully check VR software to ensure it includes alternative movement options within it for physically disabled students?

Then consider this a "kill point" for your plan to use VR.
