When using Sansar with a VR headset, you should make sure to calibrate your height. Height calibration affects the elevation of you your first-person point of view, and plays a role in scaling how your avatar is animated when you move your arms, legs, and head.
Entering your height manually
You can set your height manually while in VR:
- Open the main menu on your left wrist by pressing Y on your Oculus Rift controller or Left Menu on your HTC Vive controller.
- Using your opposite hand, select Set height from the main menu.
- Use your VR controller to activate the up and down arrows until your correct height is displayed.
- Click Ok to confirm your height.

Height calibration settings
There are some Sansar settings that affect height calibration:
- Remember height - Remembers your height between sessions so you don't need to calibrate every time you log in.
- Show height in meters - Shows height in meters rather than the default feet and inches.
