      Pair Controllers

      • If your headset is powered on but your controllers aren't paired, use your head to position the blue circular cursor over one of the controller icons on the bottom right of the screen, next to the battery life indicator.
      • Press the Confirm button, on the headset, to bring up the controller menu.
      • Hover the cursor over the 'Add controller' button and press the Confirm button, on the headset. 
      • Using your controllers, simultaneously hold the Pico buttons and triggers for 4 seconds to pair.

      Set the Boundary

      Select Quick Setup then choose either Sitting or Standing and whether your play area is Small, Medium or Large. We recommend choosing the sitting option when completing Bodyswaps modules.
