Setting up a mixed reality environment

Through MR room setup, you can customize your virtual space based on your physical room setup so that mixed reality apps can utilize your surroundings for VR interactions.

Using the headset's depth sensor, you can first scan meshes of your room which can be used by mixed reality apps. Room scan can also auto-detect objects in your surroundings such as walls and tables.

The types of objects required by the mixed reality app you're using may vary. You can add them manually during MR room setup as needed.

Here's how to set up a mixed reality environment via MR room setup:

From Home, select Settings.
Select Boundary.
Select Set up next to Mixed reality.
If this is your first time to set up mixed reality, select Get started.
Select Start and follow the instructions in the Scan room dialog box to scan your room.

As you move and look around your environment, meshes will be created and will cover the surfaces and objects that you're scanning.
When you've finished scanning, select Save.
The meshes and detected walls and tables will be saved in the headset.

Tip: If you need to perform another scan, select Scan room.
To manually define walls or add objects for the mixed reality app you're using, do the following:
1. Select Reset walls to define walls in your room, or select Add objects and then choose the type of object that your mixed reality app needs to use.
2. Follow the tutorial and use hand gestures or the controller to mark the perimeter of your walls or the dimensions of the selected object.
