Verifying your setup

Once you've completed the VIVE setup process, you can now put on the headset and hold the
controllers to start exploring VR.
While you're in the play area, the headset and the controllers should remain at least 0.5 m (1 ft 7
in) and no further than 5 m (16 ft 4 in) away from a base station. This will ensure that the devices
are properly tracked within the base station's 120-degree field of view.
For health and safety warnings, please refer to the Safety and regulatory guide, which is
periodically updated for accuracy and completeness. For the latest version, check
