Varjo inside-out tracking (Beta)
We will help you set up tracking for your headset.
Varjo inside-out tracking (Beta) is available for the Varjo XR-3 headset. For other options, see the list of available tracking methods.
Positional tracking for your headset
Your Varjo headset uses a tracking system to know its exact position. Tracking allows applications to synchronize your movements in the real world with those in the virtual environment.
Varjo inside-out tracking (Beta) uses the front-facing cameras on the Varjo XR-3 headset to continuously scan the room and keep track of your position. No additional accessories are required.
Note that to use OpenVR applications (such as SteamVR apps) and controllers, you will need to set up SteamVR™ Tracking for your headset.

If possible, cover all reflective surfaces since they may interfere with tracking. Make sure that you have good lighting in the room when you set up and use the headset.
