Everything you need to get started with Windows Mixed Reality
Are you ready for Mixed Reality?
Microsoft calls its VR headsets the first step in the Mixed Reality spectrum, immersive headsets at reasonable price points with motion controllers. It's an exciting opportunity to explore the Microsoft vision in an affordable package compared to Hololens, but before you line up to shell out for these Mixed Reality headsets you need to make sure everything else in your life squared away for this experience.
Here's what you need to do in order to prepare for Mixed Reality.
Set up a Playspace
You can walk around in Mixed Reality, but these VR-style headsets completely obstruct your vision, so to avoid tripping over the furniture or accidentally kicking the cat you need to make sure the space you intend to play in is clearly outlined. We call this the playspace, and the first thing you do when setting up a Mixed Reality headset is walk around the perimeter of this space to create a virtual boundary.
Pick a spot in your house where it's safe to walk around or space where you can easily move the furniture out of the way to play in. The minimum amount of space you need is arms reach in every direction around you. If you can reach out with your eyes closed and touch something, it's too close. Ideally, you wand enough space to take three or four steps in every direction, but make sure your playspace is at least big enough for you to not knock over a lamp or punch the tv.
