How to identify each tracker

Label your trackers (e.g., “Left Foot”, “Waist”) to keep track of which one goes where each time you use them.
Pre-Calibration Checklist
Check Your Height Setting
• Go to the Settings menu and ensure your height is set correctly.
• If it's too low or too high, your avatar’s feet may sink into or float above the floor.Room-Scale Calibration
• Make sure your play area is correctly calibrated and not affected by apps that shift or modify your playerspace (like Playspace Mover).
Tracker Placement
• Confirm your tracker is placed appropriately on your body.
Performing Calibration
Launch the App
- Open the System Tray in VR.
- Go to Apps, then select FBC (Full Body Calibration) from the list.
Inside the Calibration App
- You’ll see a mirror to help align your avatar with the tracker markers.
- The app will display the connection status of each tracker.

Calibrate your body position
Important
If you're not standing straight or looking forward, your avatar’s alignment (especially the viewpoint) may be incorrect.
- Stand upright and look straight ahead.
- Match the tracker spheres with the avatar’s pose.
- When everything looks correct, press both controller triggers at the same time to perform calibration.
