    Also…it’s absolutely not redundant to have boundaries in passthrough. I have a relatively tight space and I absolute need boundaries on in eleven table tennis even when playing in passthrough. It’s a helpful warning in case I get too engrossed in the game. More importantly it also highlights if I’m about to hit something behind me.

    To see a blue circle when you walk from one room to the other to me is distracting?  Why is this suggestion upsetting you so much?  If we're of age it should be our decision as long as we agree to take on full responsibility of what happens.  No matter how many times I set or reset the boundary I'm still told you are out of your boundary.  I even walked the entire floor to set and still got the error.  And disabling at this point removes passthrough.

    Remember there are Blue Boundary Lines, and the Boundary ( get up close, it will trigger a warning).

    I don't get lines.  Mine is a circle, even when I have the browser open and up close to the ceiling and can see my real floor with the cat laying at my feet.

    There is a way to disable the "Out of Bounds" message when walking out of the boundaries of Passthrough

    In not sure what’s so difficult to understand. If I stick within the meta os, use the menus, view stuff on the browser including viewing media there are no boundaries. I can use metas Facebook app, instagram, WhatsApp Facebook messenger. I can watch Netflix in a browser, YouTube in a browser, bbc iplayer etc etc. I can watch all this stuff on a giant screen in theatre mode. And there no boundaries. Zero…None whatsoever.  I can walk from room to room all over my house without any pop ups warnings or anything.

     

    On the other hand, If I open up an app (such  as the YouTube app) and the creator of ‘that app’ has programmed it in such a way that requires the user to create a boundary then I need to create a boundary. If I’m unhappy about it, I need to raise it with the app developer.

    Unmutual do you have developer mode enabled on your headset?

    August 17, 2024

    Enabling Developer Mode on Meta Quest 3 can change some settings and behaviors. 

    August 17, 2024

    To disable the "Out of Bounds" message when walking out of the boundaries of Passthrough on Meta Quest 3:

    1. Enable Developer Mode (Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode)

    2. Go to Developer Settings (Settings > Advanced > Developer Settings)

    3. Scroll down to the "Passthrough" section

    4. Toggle off "Show Out-of-Bounds Warning"

     

    This will disable the warning message that appears when you step out of the designated play area while using Passthrough. Note that disabling this warning doesn't remove the boundary restrictions, and you should still be cautious when moving around to avoid accidents or injuries.

    Keep in mind that some apps or experiences might still implement their own boundary warnings or restrictions, even if you've disabled the Passthrough out-of-bounds warning.

    Two photos.  One is in passthrough.  The other is from Meta TV.  Both show the blue circle.  And again why are you so resistant to having a toggle?  Everyone is happy then.  But all you want to do is tell me to get rid of the headset.  Why are you resistant to my suggestion on this?  No matter how large I try to make the boundary when in an app the blue circle still shows up.  And it's obvious that I can see where I'm walking in passthrough.  If I run into walls while in passthrough then I have larger issues and need an eye seeing dog (neither of them in photo are) and not be on a headset.  The blue circle is distracting.  Why is that hard to understand?
