RE: Room Space

Hello Steam Users!

We're very happy to be able to share this experience with the world.

We understand that some people have had difficulty finding enough tracking space to take full advantage of the experience. While the optimal space is 3m x 3m, please note that you should be able to do almost all the tasks with a minimum space of 2m x 2m. Years of research in our lab on embodied cognition has shown that the more you move your body in VR, the more you want to learn about what you're doing. With this in mind, we decided to keep the large movement space in an effort to encourage learning on this virtual field trip. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for people with smaller spaces.

We hope you'll try out the simulation even if your space is not as large and we will of course consider any feedback we receive for future projects.

Thank you for your interest in our work!

Sincerely,
Stanford VHIL
