How to set up your Vive Focus 3 headset
Getting Started - Video
Power on
To turn on the Vive Focus 3, hold down the power button for 3 seconds.
Headset
Release the velcro, press and hold the quick adjustment button and then extend the headset band to its full length. Slide the headset over your head. Turn the adjustment knob to tighten until snug. Redo the headset strap velcro. Make sure the lenses rest over your eyes. You can adjust the IPD by turning the dial until text and lines are clear.
Set boundary
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:
- While holding the controllers, set the floor height by pushing down on the floor boundary.
- Choose a room-scale or seated play area.
- 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.
- Set the forward facing direction. This is the direction where the menus will appear.
Tip: If you use your headset in a new place, you will be automatically prompted to create a new boundary for your play area.
