What can I do if I can't see my controllers in VR?

Once paired, your controllers should be automatically detected when they're on.
§ If they are asleep, shaking them gently should wake them up.
§ If your controllers are off, turn them on by pressing the VIVE and Menu buttons on each
controller briefly. The controller LEDs will turn blue while they are connecting, or green
when they are connected.
§ Make sure your controllers are charged. A flashing red LED indicates low power. If the
controllers are low or don't respond, try charging them. See
page 8 for details.
§ If your controllers are on but still not being detected, you might need to pair them again.
