Getting Ready and Entering VR
With your setup finally all sorted, you’ll need to ensure that your room is ready for VR experience. First, ensure that your PlayStation Camera is set up in the middle of your VR Play Area. This should be a recommended area of about 10 ft. back by about 6 ft. across. So ensure that wherever you’re placing your camera allows it to capture this entire area without any walls or obstructions cutting into this too soon. If you’re struggling for room, your PSVR is going to have some issues or may tell you that you need more room in your Play Area.
With that taken care of, be sure to remove any obstructions in this stated Play Area. The last thing you want to do is go about kicking the crap out of your coffee table because that clown jumped out at your in Until Dawn: Rush of Blood.
One thing which has become particularly clear from the reviews and PlayStation’s own Ultimate FAQ is the disturbance that bright light sources and reflective surfaces can lead to your PSVR experience. Be sure to turn off any light sources and move away any mirrors or glass surfaces that may be nearby. This can affect the way the camera reads your PSVR headset’s tracking lights.
Next, you’ll want to get your headset put on so it’s comfortable and securely attached to your head. First, use the Scope Adjustment button, which can be found on the bottom of the headset on the right-hand side. Use this to pull the scope away from your face. Then use the Headband release button to pull the headband over your head and get it on. Finally, use the adjustment wheel located just above the release button to get the headband snug around your head.
When the headband is in place, use the Scope Adjustment button to pull the front of the VR headset comfortably close to your face. If you’re using a large over-ear headset, this now goes on over the top of your PSVR unit.
