The Guardian requires a minimum of 3ft by 3ft of clear space around the user (figure 2). This is made by walking the perimeter with the Touch controllers, and that perimeter will be the Guardian barrier. A larger area can be used, and Oculus suggests a 7ft by 5ft as an ideal playspace, giving more room to move around. With the minimum area, some apps may warn the user that a bigger space is advised before being able to purchase the game. The second suggestion is to have a steady hand since the Guardian barrier is drawn based on hand movements when identifying the perimeter. Therefore, the lines that appear after the setup will likely not be straight. However, Guardian can be redrawn at any time by selecting the Guardian System configuration settings. To improve the boundary lines a user could place the Oculus Touch controllers on a skateboard or a toy car, for example. That will make it easier to create straighter lines and less erratic corners. The final recommendation is to check the boundary system before use. The user can improve safety by checking where the boundaries are before starting a game.

After the Guardian System’s implementation, there have been some suggestions to help with the configuration of the boundaries. The first is to have enough space.
