If your room is too dark or too bright, the cameras will have insufficient contrast to be able to identify the features of your room and they will not be able to establish the Guardian boundaries.

The cameras of your Oculus Quest 2 headset are sensitive to the lighting in your room, both for tracking the controllers and for identifying features in your room to accurately track the Guardian boundary and floor height. Let’s look at what factors contribute to the boundary getting reset and what you can do about it. Rather than trying to approximate the location, potentially getting it wrong, the headset asks you to redraw the boundary in an attempt to reestablish the boundaries. The most common cause of the Guardian boundary resetting is that the cameras on the headset cannot identify the features in your room to position the boundary accurately. The Guardian system on the Oculus/Meta Quest 2 allows you to draw a virtual boundary around your play space, and the headset will display this boundary when you get close to it, allowing you to stay safely within your playspace and avoid potential injury.Īlthough it is a virtual boundary, your VR headset must orientate itself within your room using the four cameras on the headset to position the Guardian boundary in the correct place.
