About the VIVE Cosmos Elite headset
Out of the box,
VIVE Cosmos Elite uses base stations to track the headset and controllers.
You need to separately purchase a supported front cover to use the cameras for tracking and for passthrough viewing so you can see real surroundings.
Important: The cameras on the headset are sensitive. Do not cover or scratch the cameras.
