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) away from a base station. This will ensure that the devices are properly tracked within the base
station's 150-degree horizontal field of view and 110-degree vertical 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
www.vive.com/.
