If you're setting up Guardian with your Oculus for Business headset for the first time, follow the instructions that come up in your headset to get started.

Guardian Sizes

Guardian lets you create boundaries in VR that appear when you get too close to the edge of your playing area. When setting up your Guardian, your playing area will appear as one of these sizes:

  • Below Minimum: If your play area is below minimum, it doesn't meet the 1 by 1 metre (3 by 3 feet) requirement to use Guardian.

  • Minimum: You have enough space for the minimum required playing area, but some apps may recommend at least 2 by 2 metres (6.5 by 6.5 feet) for the best experience.

  • Recommended: You have the recommended playing area for Roomscale experiences. This means that your playing area meets or exceeds the 2 by 2 metres (6.5 by 6.5 feet) space needed to set up the Guardian system.

For additional guidance, view the video below.

Note: Guardian cannot be deactivated for a specific app. It can be deactivated for individual headsets or grouped headsets if desired. While this option is available, disabling Guardian is not recommended for standing or mobile experiences.
