Get to Know Your Meta 2
The headset enables users to interact with 3D
holograms just like real objects, naturally extending
the capabilities of the human brain and hand.

15
Eye Calibration
Use the Eye Calibration feature to ensure that you see
virtual objects clearly through the headset.
Each user can create different eye calibration proles,
which can be found by clicking on the Meta Utility icon
in the system tray.
For more information, visit metavision.com/calibration

16
Field of View
The Meta 2 device enables you to interact with
holograms within a 90° eld of view.
However, gestures outside of the virtual area
represented in the gure above might not be
detected by your device.
For more information, visit metavision.com/fov

17
Environment and Surface Mapping
The Meta 2 scans your environment and tracks surfaces,
allowing you to place 3D virtual objects in the space around you.
For the best tracking experience, make sure you initiate the
device in an environment that has uniform lighting and contains
real-world objects.
For more information, visit metavision.com/mapping

18
Hands Interactions
The Meta 2 supports direct object manipulation. To initiate a grab:
1. Move toward the object with your open hand
2. Grab the object by closing your hand
3. Move the object while keeping your hand closed
4. Release the object by opening your hand

Cleaning Tips
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY LIQUID ON THE VISOR ITSELF
Before you start cleaning your headset, make sure your
headset is unplugged.
Use the included microber carrying bag to wipe off
smudges and ngerprint residue on the visor. For plastic
parts, gently remove smudges with a dry or slightly damp
(water only) microber bag.
