Setting up Vive for the first time
Before you can use Vive, you'll need to set it up. Walk through the setup process to install software,
set up hardware, define your play area, and more.
Make sure to sign in with your HTC Account to download exclusive VR content.
To begin, download the Vive Setup file from www.htcvive.com.
What is the play area?
The play area sets the virtual boundaries of Vive. Your interaction with VR objects happen within
the play area.
Choosing the play area
Find a space that you will designate as the play area. For best results, do the following:
§ Clear the play area of furniture and other things (including pets) that may block you from
freely moving around.
§ Remove or cover mirrors or reflective surfaces.
§ Cover windows or other sources of direct sunlight.
