Hi!

We have made some minor updates to the IKEA VR kitchen; now that you have meat and veggie balls, you'll probably try to cook them in the frying pan. So we thought that turning the hood on was a good idea. Now, maybe you can find out if your meat and veggie balls are actually tasty. ;=) Another feature of this new update is that you can now open both ovens.

And if you would like to add even more reality to your VR, you can put a real chair on the floor, with a fixed position to your calibrated physical floor space. (The IKEA chair IDOLF gives you the most accurate experience but any chair will work).

Instruction to do the real/virtual chair test:
If you press “5” on the numeric keyboard the virtual chair appears. Use the hand controllers placed on the seat of the real chair to find the right position for the real chair to correspond to the virtual. If you want to redo it fast then set some easily removable markers on the floor. If you press “5” again you go back to the normal mode. Remember to move the chair out of the way afterwards ;-)

For best experience read below:
The virtual floor should match your physical floor. If it doesn't, the room will feel slightly too small or too big. Calibration instructions are included below. Also, aspire to set the IPD (distance between the center of your eyes in millimeters) on the headset to your personal values.

Fine tuning floor Height Calibration:
Put one of the hand controls or HMD on the floor.
Use PageUp/PageDown to move the floor up or down 1 centimeter so the HMD/controls rest on the floor.
Press "S" on keyboard to save to the next session.

We would love feedback on your experience, especially on how well the physical and virtual sizes correspond. To be continued!
