I'm not in the office right now, but here's a sketch of how the space is configured: http://files.holocafe.de/temp/chaperone_space.png Before using the headset, clear the room of obstacles and hazards, people, furniture, and any other items to ensure that you have enough space both above and around you.

Latest from Varjo Read our latest VR/XR technology insights, hear what the world is saying about Varjo, and know right away when Varjo news breaks – it’s all here. Perform this setup each time you move the headset and base stations to a new environment, or if you move the base stations or change their orientation in your current room. Well that wouldn't surprise me. To have multiple base stations in one space, each base station needs to be set to a different channel. Since there are currently only four channels available in the firmware, having twice the amount of base stations leads to multiple base stations sending the same station ID, which will confuse the sensors. You can set your preference to stationary or sitting, which minimizes the space you need to move around, but it still requires much more room than general PC gaming. Not to mention the components, like the VIVE controllers and the headset itself, aren't compact in any regard. From the SteamVR room setup instructions, select Launch SteamVR and wait for the application to open. Alternatively, you can manually open SteamVR on your Windows computer.

If you're someone that hates having cables running everywhere, VR may not be for you. On top of the 3 required power cords (2 of which will likely be running down your wall to power the base stations), the link box has an HDMI and USB cable that connects to your PC. There's also a port for the 16.4-foot proprietary HTC cable, which plugs into the headset. The only thing that is probably uncommon is that we have placed two of the stations (S-2 and S-3) lower than the others (1vs3 meters height) as an experiment.

Varjo Base will attempt to automatically enable the OpenVR runtime for XR-3. If you have previously used an OpenVR-compatible headset on this computer, you may be prompted to enable the runtime manually. When using your Varjo headset for the first time in a new environment, you will need to perform a brief setup to configure the headset and base stations. My available space has an irregular shape. Can I still set up more than two SteamVR Base Stations 2.0? Events Want to experience the world’s only human-eye resolution XR/VR headsets firsthand? Meet us and our partners around the world.

Hardware Specifications

As much as I appreciate the clarity and fluidity provided by the VIVE Pro 2 headset, I absolutely loathe the amount of space and power outlets it devoured. Granted, I have a few quirks at home like two cats and an ever-shrinking office, so it's possible my current setup just isn't made for comfortable PC VR gaming. But I also feel that's going to be the case for many of you. In the room setup, the maximum size appears to be capped at 4x4 meters. While this does not impact the correct positioning of a larger chaperone or the actually playable space, it might be useful to see the actual measurements after room calubration. Two different power plugs are included in the box (European type C and North American type A). Use a standard power adapter if needed. You can pair devices again at any time in Varjo Base by navigating to the System tab and Pair SteamVR device.
