Choose Your Play Area
The chosen play area must have enough space to ensure that when you extend your arms while holding the controllers, you will not touch walls, ceilings, or surrounding objects. Make sure there are no steps or windows within the play area, and remove all obstacles, including pets!
Standing-scale or seated positions require less space.
POSITION OF BASE STATION
Please keep the distance is more than 1.5m between the headset and base station when you are playing the game, or the tracking will be lost. Please also ensure that the height of the base station is about 2m.
For accurate tracking, make sure that any locator is within 7 meters (23 feet) of the head mounted device and control handle. Make sure that there are no physical obstacles (such as protruding shelves, mirrors, etc.) in the position where the positioner is placed, so as to completely cover the field of view of the positioner and ensure that the signal is not blocked.
