safest method however is going to an optician and have the distance measured by them they often do this for free and it only takes a few seconds tip 33 disable Guardian system if you want to deactivate the quest 3 security system for example if you want to cover a larger area or offer mixity apps first activate the developer mode I already explained this to you in tip 11 then go to

become so immersed in your VR experience that you forget the Real Environment especially when you throw things around in VR you might end up throwing the controller in your window or in the TV it is therefore essential to always use the hand straps on the controllers even if that means a few seconds more preparation time but this is better than this tip 38 change your virtual environment you can change the default home environment and for example beam yourself into a cyber City to do this go to settings personalization virtual environment and select a different environment if you scroll all the way down you can even use your own 360° image as your home environment tip 39 check for updates your quest three does not always install the updates automatically on or sometimes not at the time you want that to check whether there is a new update go to settings system software update if an update is available here it will be offered to you also activate the option automatically turn on the headset for updates to always have the latest updates even if the quest three is turned off tip 40 accessories um so as accessories I can recommend for example the VR cover for the facial interface that's very comfortable or the original Elite strap with battery or the m M3 Pro Set from Bobo VR a back is also very useful this one is from syntech really good and there's also for example the amvr battery strap that you can hang over your shoulders that's also very useful if you want to extend the battery life you can find all the links and some coupon codes in the description below yeah I
