Setting up your play area

The play area is a virtual boundary to keep you safe in VR. Play areas should be kept clear of objects, pets, and other people. If you don't have enough space for a room-scale play area (1.5 x 1.5 m), you can set a small, stationary boundary you can use seated or standing.

You will be guided through room setup the first time you put on VIVE Focus 3. You can run room setup again at any time from the Settings menu.

Set the floor height by pushing down on the floor boundary.
Choose a room-scale or seated play area.
If you choose a room-scale play area, you can draw the boundaries and adjust objects. You can reset and redraw the boundary at any time.
Set the forward facing direction. This is the direction where the menus will appear.

Tip: If you use your headset in a new place, you will be automatically prompted to create a new boundary for your play area.

Here is a video showing how set your boundary (from 0:31):
