The Guardian Boundary is one of the most useful safety features the Quest has.
Youll be marking the areas around you where its safe to move to while playing.
This way, you might let the headset know where your couch table is without banging into it.
The headset keeps track of both your head and arm movements.
Otherwise, you could easily punch something like a wall or desk by accident.
Other safety features include the wrist straps attached to the controllers, and functions like passthrough.
Dont hesitate to tweak things to fit your playstyle.
you might even change the colour of the outline if you want!
How does the Guardian Boundary work?
When starting up in a new area, youll be prompted to first mark the floor level.
It also makes sure the floor showed isnt above or below the real floor.

Once youve indicated the floor level, youre prompted to draw the area thats safe around you.
As a minimum, you need an area larger than 11 metres.
2x2m is recommended for quite a lot of games, so thats ideally what youll want to go for.

All you have to do is switch to the stationary boundary.

Tip: The Guardian Boundary wont work in bad lighting conditions.
It will affect your game performance, in addition to the risk of injury.
hey always be careful when playing in VR.
