Most VR goggles, have a forehead sensor inside the goggles. If it doesn’t detect a forehead or a face then the goggles may shut down to preserve the battery. Pro tip: If you want to keep your VR goggles from going to sleep, you can put a piece of black tape over the forehead sensor to keep them powered on at all times until you choose to shut them down by pressing and holding the power button until the lights go out.  It tricks the goggles into thinking there’s a forehead in front of the sensor. If your goggles continue to keep shutting down, some forums suggest removing the eyeglass spacer (if you installed one) as it might be covering the face detection sensor inside the headset. Also, check to make sure that the face detection sensor is clean and free of any fabric covering it. In addition under “power” in settings inside the headset, you can adjust the “auto sleep” setting to longer than the default 15 seconds. Pro tip: If you want to keep your VR goggles from going to sleep, you can put a piece of black tape over the forehead sensor to keep them powered on at all times.
