Overview: Learn how to set up a play area on HTC VIVE Focus Vision and Focus 3 headsets.

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.

You will be guided through room setup the first time you put on your headset. You can run room setup again at any time from the "Settings" menu.

1. Set the floor height. Use your hand or controller to push down the virtual floor to match it with your physical floor.

2. Choose a "Room-scale" play area.

   • Tip: 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 that you can use seated or standing.

3. Draw the boundary of your play area:

   1. Pinch and hold on a starting point with your fingers, or press and hold the trigger on a starting point.

   2. Trace along the floor to draw the boundary. For your safety, make sure to exclude any obstacles in your environment.

4. Set your front-facing view in VR. This is the direction where the menus, dialog boxes, and messages will appear.

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