Guardian Sizes
The Guardian lets you create boundaries in VR that appear when you get too close to the edge of your play area. When setting up your Guardian, your play area will appear as one of these sizes:
- Below Minimum: If your play area is below minimum, it doesn’t meet the 3 feet by 3 feet (1 meter by 1 meter) requirement. The Guardian works best with a larger play area.
- Moderate: Your play area meets the minimum amount of space needed to set up the Guardian.
- Optimal: Your play area meets or exceeds the 7 feet by 5 feet (2 meters by 1.5 meters) space needed to set up the Guardian.
Resetting Your Guardian
If you want to redo your Guardian, you can reset it in your settings.
To reset your Guardian:
- Open the Oculus app on your PC computer.
- Select Devices in the left menu.
- Click Configure Rift and then select Guardian.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Guardian.
