Tips for setting up the base stations
Note:
You may set up the base stations in a way that's suitable for your place. For best results, you may follow these recommendations:
The hardware may be purchased separately from the
Accessories tab on
www.vive.com/product/.
- Mount the base stations diagonally and above head height, ideally more than 2 m (6 ft 6 in).
- Secure the base stations in a location where they can't be easily jostled or moved.
- Each base station has a 120-degree field of view, so it's ideal to adjust its angle between 30 and 45 degrees to fully cover your play area.
-
For optimal tracking, make sure that the maximum distance between the two base stations is 5 m (16 ft 4 in).
- Avoid setting up in an area with bright light, which may negatively affect the performance of the base stations.
