Guardian Boundary. The Meta Quest 2 headset comes with a safety feature that allows the user to define a safe area in their physical space clear of obstacles that they can operate their VR experiences within. The boundaries of this area will overlay the VR experience as a grid if you get close to moving out of the boundary. You can toggle the wall grid and floor boundary indicators in the System Settings. It is advisable to keep one or both on at all times.

Larger Physical Space. Larger unencumbered spaces allow deeper immersion as you can physically walk around in the virtual space. 

Indoor Only. For safety of yourself and the hardware, it is recommended the headsets are used indoors out of directly sunlight with minimal environmental motion and reflective surfaces.
