See full version: Opening oculus and the height is 14 ft
Yes. The short answer is to fake your height during setup, with the side effect that you'll be higher off the ground and unable to reach the floor. I've had a number of games where players bodyshamed me for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ my height from a chair to play a seated game and forgetting to fix it afterwards, making me a 12 foot tall soldier with the world's largest head hitbox. more
The SteamVR Room Setup tool can be found by running SteamVR, going under the SteamVR tab, and clicking Open Room Setup. [links]

While I haven't attempted this myself, there are also tools to change your SteamVR settings directly. This only applies for SteamVR, not the Oculus API. more
While we agree with Facebook when they recommend a minimum of 6.5ft by 6.5ft, it’s by no means required to enjoy your favorite games and apps. The Quest 2’s 6 degrees of freedom is just as impressive in Stationary mode, allowing you to duck behind cover in Onward, dodge obstacles in Beat Saber, and lean around corners in In Death: Unchained. There’s no arguing that Roomscale offers the ideal VR experience on Oculus Quest 2, but don’t let your limited space stop you from enjoying all the Quest 2 has to offer.
If you have the additional space, Facebook suggests leaving an additional 2.5ft of space between your guardian boundary and any walls or immovable obstructions. This provides an additional layer or protection for those extra intense sessions where you may forget about the boundary all together. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tip as well. Trust me, nothing’s worse than unknowingly breaching your guardian and punching a concrete wall. Not that I’ve done that or anything… more
While not the ideal experience per say, Stationary mode offers just enough to space to enjoy pretty much every game and app available via the Oculus Quest store, whether it be a seated or standing experience. Like Roomscale, we also recommend relegating several feet of space between your guardian and any immovable obstructions for an additional layer of protection. [links]
Officially, Facebook recommends a play space of 6.5ft by 6.5ft when using “Roomscale.” For those brand new to the Oculus Quest 2, the headset allows you to draw the boundaries of your play area using the Touch motion controllers, thereby setting up the Guardian boundary system. Again, this is what Facebook recommends for maximum enjoyment. Technically you can draw your boundary in any shape or size you like, though—much like with the original Oculus Quest—we recommend keeping things simple; basic, symmetrical shapes only. more
With Christmas 2020 officially in the rear view mirror, a new wave of Oculus Quest 2 users now find themselves enjoying all the incredible games and apps available on Facebook’s magical standalone VR headset. We’ve talked a lot in the past about the best ways to maximize your Oculus Quest 2, from initial setup to your first five downloads. But one question we still hear a lot is, “How much space do I need to use the Oculus Quest 2?”
For those lacking enough space for Roomscale there’s also “Stationary mode,” a compact alternative designed for smaller spaces. Instead of drawing your own guardian system, Standalone mode establishes a small circle roughly an arms-length around the headset, allowing you to lean from your torso to interact with in-game objects using your Touch controllers.
These tell you whether you’ll be able to get in and out of the kayak comfortably and with ease, without scraping your knees in the process. If you have to wiggle yourself in, it’s a sign that the opening is too small for you.
It is important to understand whether the kayak volume indicated by the manufacturer is ideal for you. This gives you a better idea of how much room you can expect inside the boat. Kayak makers typically use four terms to describe volume: here
Once you figure out where you intend to kayak, the next aspect of choosing the optimal kayak size has to do with the length to width ratio of the vessel in question. This is the single most critical factor in determining how stable the kayak will be. more
Anglers are usually longer than recreational kayaks and measure between 10 and 14 feet in length, and 42 inches wide. If you’re in the market for a fishing kayak, then you might like the Lifetime Tamarack Angler 100.
The challenge for most people comes when trying to figure out the best kayak size to go with, more specifically, in terms of its length. If this is the dilemma you’re currently facing, you’ve come to the right place to find the answers you seek.
You need to establish how the length and width of the hull affect the way the vessel sits on the water, as well as how well it balances. You also need to understand how this ratio affects the kayak’s performance in terms of speed and maneuverability.
I didn't get around to fully trying out the Kinect option but it seemed to work in the setting up process. As far as I understand a 360 or an Xbox One Kinect will work but it depends on what headset you have. Kinect is obviously limited as it can only track so well and can only see you from specific angles. The software to run Kinect with your headset costs 20 dollars. It is called Driver4VR.
Once you have everything on you push the power button on the trackers and they should turn colors. In SteamVR you will need to pair them and they will show up on the display. To pair them you need to hold down the power button on the tracker while you have pairing mode open. After that they should work and connect whenever you turn them on. I have sometimes had pairing issues though with one puck not showing up immediately. Or sometimes with an extra controller or puck showing. This is known as a ghost. here
Now, as far as getting them to work with your computer: The pucks came with 3 micro usb cables, dongles and dongle cradles. I had no idea what a dongle cradle was before I got these. Basically the main issue here is that you are going to need to have 3 usb ports to plug in the dongles which are attached to dongle cradles which are attached to micro usb cables. more
