![]() ![]() Navigating the menus of the HTC Vive Cosmos is simple, and that's because there's not much there. Unfortunately, it's not as immersive as Oculus Home, because you can't really customize the space to your liking apart from the weather and backgrounds. When you're done listening to the nice lady tell you what you can do in VR, you can enjoy the comfort of your own little area, called Origin. ![]() The tutorials will guide you on how to use the controller and even give you some neat gadgets to mess with, like a drawing tool as well as an RC car. ![]() Once you're all set up, the headset will direct you to Origin, which is your own personal home/hub area. Unfortunately, the tutorials for the HTC Vive Cosmos aren't as whimsical as those for the Oculus Rift S, but they're short and informative nonetheless. If you get close to any of the barriers you've drawn, a colored outline will appear (you can customize the color in the Viveport app). The Vive app will make you touch the floor with a controller to determine your height and outline your play area with a brush to see how much room you have. The app will transition you to a transparent view in order for you to set up your play area. For context, the Oculus Rift S' lenses sport only 2560 x 1440 lenses at a 80-Hz refresh rate. Once you're all done with the prep work, pop the goggles on and let those 2880 x 1700 lenses hit you with that smooth 90-Hz refresh rate. However, you can customize the play area to accommodate your needs. But before you dive into virtual reality, keep in mind that the recommended play area is 6 feet, 6 inches x 5 feet. The Cosmos will also come with four AA batteries that you'll need to slot into the controller (make sure you place the batteries on top of the ribbon, so you can easily pull them out). When all the software is updated, connect your DisplayPort to the Link Box and make sure all of the output cables are going to the right place then, power on the Link Box. Then, head to the Viveport website to download the Viveport app to get access to HTC's personal game library store, which took up roughly 8GB of data on my computer. After that's all connected, go to HTC's website to download the Vive Software app to set up your Vive. ![]()
