How can I optimize tracking in my space?
Your headset uses inside-out tracking, relying on the unique appearance of your surroundings to
orient the headset and maintain your position in VR. Here are some tips to improve tracking in
your space:
§ Avoid direct intense light or glare, both on the headset and in your space.
§ Your space should be bright enough to read a book comfortably.
§ Minimize reflective objects.
§ Patterns on the walls, ceiling, and floor can help improve tracking. Try to minimize
completely blank surfaces.
§ Keep your play area clear of obstacles.
§ While doing room setup, make sure to look in all directions to establish tracking for the
whole room.
§ If you still experience problems, run room setup again by selecting Settings Boundary.
Then select Reset next to Safety boundary.
My headset keeps forgetting my boundary. What can I do?
The boundary may be lost if there is a significant change in your environment since running room
setup. The following factors can influence the boundary:
§ Lighting:
§ Changes in light level from windows, such as from day to night.
§ Changes in light direction, such as light coming from a different side.
§ Changes in light level from artificial sources, such as turning lights on and off.
§ Decor:
§ Changes to physical surroundings, such as furniture.
§ Changes to appearance, such as decorations.
§ People:
Many people moving around the play area can cause the headset to forget the boundary.
