User's Manual

What is the recommended space for the play area?
For room-scale setup, a minimum play area of 2 m x 1.5 m (6 ft 6 in x 5 ft) is required. There's no
minimum for limited space (stationary experience).
Can I include space occupied by furniture for the play
area?
It is not recommended to do so. When setting the boundaries of the play area, make sure that the
floor is cleared. Do not trace across space occupied by things (such as a table or a chair) since
this may cause you to trip into the object while in VR.
Does VIVE Cosmos store my room or environment
image?
VIVE Cosmos uses its built-in cameras and sensors in order to operate the inside-out tracking
function, including establishing boundary displays and viewing the features of your
surroundings. The actual image of your environment is not permanently stored on your
VIVE Cosmos after displaying it in VR.
Will VR apps that are for limited spaces or stationary
experiences only work with a room-scale setup?
Even if you have a room-scale setup, you can still use VR apps that are designed for limited
spaces or are stationary experiences. Just make sure that your headset and controllers are
tracked within the play area.
How do I resolve download errors during VIVE Setup
installation?
Download errors are usually caused by incorrect network settings. For example, due to wrong
DNS, the download server address is unresolved by the host. Some network destinations may be
inaccessible, even as connection to other websites seems normal. Please make sure that your
network settings are correct, or ask your network administrator for support.
I can't complete the room setup. What should I do?
Check if you're using special characters (such as à or é) in your local Windows user name, which
could cause the problem.
