GETTING STARTED
Connect to your computer. The HP Reverb VR Headset - Pro Edition connects to your PC via a DisplayPort 1.3™ and USB 3.0 cable. If you use an adapter, ensure that it
supports 4K resolutions.
Begin the initial Mixed Reality Install. Setting up Windows Mixed Reality requires an internet connection. Even if there is nothing to download, Microsoft still requires internet
for the intial set-up.

STEP 3
Set up your VR space. If you have objects in the room you don’t want to
collide with, choose Set me up for all experiences. This allows you to draw
a visible boundary inside your VR experience.
If you don’t need a room boundary, you can choose Set me up for seated
and standing.
STEP 4
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your VR space. Select Center.
This marks the spot and forward-facing direction of the HMD and will be
the default position inside VR experiences.
STEP 5
If you chose all experiences in Step 3, you will now set up the VR room
boundary. Before you click Trace, move the HMD away from the center
and to where your boundary will be. Then, click Trace and use the HMD to
trace your boundary.
Keep in mind you’ll want a buer zone between you and any objects you
may hit with your hands while using the controllers.

STEP 6
Once you’ve successfully traced your boundary, you will be asked if you
want to use speech in Mixed Reality. The HP Reverb VR Headset - Pro
Edition has built-in microphones, so you can take advantage of this option
if you like.
For a list of speech commands, visit:
Help - Windows 10 Speech in Windows Mixed Reality
STEP 7
You’re almost done! Mixed Reality will nish downloading now and install
all necessary components. The full download is several gigabytes, so now
might be a good time for a coee break.
STEP 8
Welcome to the welcome screen. You can access settings through the left
navigation pane, as well as mirror the headset display with the play
button.
You can complete set-up inside the HMD at this point. Make sure the
cameras on the HMD can see the oor while scanning the room. Reective
surfaces (like windows) can confuse it.
Within the portal, you can access a tutorial on how to interact with the VR
environment using your motion controllers.
Once inside the Cli House, your set-up is complete!
