# Basic Quest Navigation

## Setting your playspace:

1. Turn on the Quest headset with the button on the side until the light next to it turns white
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions to create your boundary
    
    
    1. Create a new boundary based on the experience you will be showing
    2. Be sure the floor level is correct
    3. DO NOT confirm a previous boundary unless you can clearly see the boundary underneath you
3. To reset your boundary: Go to settings and select "boundary." It should ask if you want to reset your boundary, select yes.
4. To reset your "center": Hold onto the Meta button on the controller until the white line that's circling it is complete
    
    
    1. This is also how to reset a stationary boundary
