• During use, do not hold or handle things that are dangerous, may injure you or others or may
be damaged.
• Your headset limits your field of view. Use care in moving as you may not perceive something
at your side.
• Remove your headset for unobstructed vision in any physical-world situation that requires
attention or coordination.
Choosing and Setting up Your Safe Activity Space
The activity space is the area you choose to use your MetaQuest.
Always be aware of your physical surroundings and potential hazards.
Serious injury and property damage may occur if you hit objects,
walls (or other structural elements), people or pets or if you trip or fall. Use caution
to avoid injury. Stop using your MetaQuest or check your surroundings using
Passthrough if you are unsure whether your surroundings are safe.
Navigation safety features help you orient yourself in the physical world while using your
Meta Quest. These features and your Meta Quest work best in a well-lit space with walls
and surroundings that create different patterns for your Meta Quest’s sensors to track
your movement.
• Passthrough is a feature on your Meta Quest that uses a sensor to display your
surroundings on your Meta Quest screen. The Passthrough feature helps you stay inside
your activity space, maintain your virtual boundaries, and helps you navigate your physical
activity space if you don’t have virtual boundaries set up or if you go outside them.
• Virtual boundaries help you stay in your activity space to avoid collisions with objects in
the physical world while you are in your virtual environment.
• Object identification is a feature to help you stay aware, in virtual content, of physical
objects you have marked in your surroundings.
Interacting with the Physical World
• Choose an appropriate activity space for the content you plan to use, setting it up so that you
can maintain your safety. Avoid hazards (including people, pets or objects overhead) or move
them out of the way. Hazards to Avoid.
• Use navigation safety features to help orient you to your surroundings during use.
• Your Meta Quest may not be able to track your movement, and safety features may not work
properly, in areas with undecorated plain walls, highly reflective glass or mirror walls or in areas
that are poorly lit. Hazards to Avoid.
• Fast or abrupt movement may cause a collision or loss of balance.
