# Setting Up Guardian

Guardian is a built-in safety feature that lets you set up boundaries in VR that appear when you get too close to the edge of your play area.

* When setting up Guardian for the first time you should see what is called Passthrough, a feature which allows you to take a quick look at the outside world to help you get oriented in space while wearing the device.&#x20;
* We recommend being seated in a chair while in VR and using the Stationary Boundary.  Stationary Mode creates a default Guardian area of 1 meter by 1 meter centered on yourself.
* The first step in Guardian setup is to calibrate tracking by setting the floor level.  Gently lower your controller to the ground and look at it.  You should see a virtual grid appear near the floor.  Once the grid is correctly locked at floor level tap Continue.  From here you can select Stationary Boundary and then you will be transported into the VR environment.
