Expert Tips for Setting Up Your Guardian Boundary

A well-set-up guardian boundary is crucial for safe and immersive VR. When defining your play space, leave a small buffer zone between your boundary and any physical walls or objects. This will give you a little extra time to react when the boundary appears on-screen, preventing accidental bumps or hits during intense gameplay. Always clear your play area of any trip hazards, like rugs or low tables, before starting a session.

Ensure your play space has adequate lighting for your headset's cameras to track your environment effectively. If you're playing in a room with large mirrors or reflective surfaces, consider covering them, as they can interfere with tracking accuracy. For the best experience, use a play mat or rug as a tactile reference for the center of your play space, helping you stay oriented without relying solely on your guardian boundary.
