HTC VIVE How To Use

How To Use the HTC VIVE with STEAM
1. USE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILE SITTING DOWN!
This helps with any disorientation using the headset may bring, and get you used to the
controls slowly, while being aware of your space.
2. MOVE AT A MODERATE PACE
Don't move quickly. The last thing you want to do is hit something at high speed, especially
someone else who may be too close without realizing.
3. TRY AND BE AWARE OF THE SPACE YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU PUT THE HEADSET ON.
This helps you to not hit walls and other people in the space. The headset should be calibrated to
your play area so a grid comes up when you get too close to the boundaries if needed, however
this may not show in all games.
First thing to do is:
•
Check the power is ON both sensors, just switch on the main plug (no need to touch sensors)
•
Check VR headset light is on, will be red until you have logged into a steam VR game
•
Unplug (if charging) the 2 controllers & to turn on, press the button above the vive logo
•
Make sure connector box, where the headset is plugged into, is on.
Setting up the Computer:
