clear measure.

4. Make a note of your IPD measurement. You may want to recheck several times to make
sure your reading is accurate.
You can also ask a friend to help you measure instead of using a mirror. Make sure you're
looking straight ahead while they measure.
Estimating your IPD through experimentation
You can estimate IPD by trying different settings. This method is very convenient, but might be
less accurate.
1. While wearing the VR headset, focus on text or lines at the center of view. If no text is
present, open a screen in VR with text.
2. Adjust the IPD dial until the text is clear. Note the number for future use.
3. If the image in one eye is clearer than the other, adjust the headset position. Repeat until
images are clear for both eyes.

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. 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 you can use seated or standing.
You will be guided through room setup the first time you put on VIVE Focus 3. You can run room
setup again at any time from the Settings menu.
1. Set the floor height by pushing down on the floor boundary.
2. Choose a room-scale or seated play area.
3. If you choose a room-scale play area, you can draw the boundaries and adjust objects. You
can reset and redraw the boundary at any time.
4. Set the forward facing direction. This is the direction where the menus will appear.
If you use your headset in a new place, you will be automatically prompted to create a new
boundary for your play area.
