Scaling OVRCameraRig

Hello All!
I have been looking through the forum and I have found some of my answers, but no one has posted the actual solution.
I would like to scale the OVRCameraRig. I have a full size room, like a living room, and everything looks fine. However, I want to shrink this room down to something small ( or scale up the player ) so the room would look like a doll house.
I know I can scale down the entire environment, but this causes a lot of shaders to freak out so I want to avoid that.
In other VR packages, you would just create a Empty GameObject and put the CameraRig as a child and scale the parent. That doesn't seem to work for Oculus.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

    @matrix211v1 Man you're not going to believe it but I just found the solution : you need to scale OVRCameraRig AFTER entering Play mode, for example in the OnEnable function. That's it.

    That is quite interesting. I believe I have tried it to scale it after hitting play and modifying it in the editor. Are you *sure* that your scaling the "OVRPlayerController" or a Parent GameObject of it? To me it is changing but it's just making the camera further away from the main of it's origin which gives the impression that it's smaller. 

    I could be and have known to be wrong.

    I am scaling the OVRCameraRig prefab instance itself. I does scale the world, not only distances. 100% sure :)

    Scaling the OVRCameraRig prefab worked for me too.  Here's a script I used to test it out:

    using UnityEngine;

public class ScalePlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject cameraRig;
    public Vector3 defaultScale = new Vector3(1f, 1f, 1f);
    public Vector3 alternateScale = new Vector3(20f, 20f, 20f);

    bool scaled = false;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Oculus_CrossPlatform_PrimaryIndexTrigger"))
        {
            ToggleScale();
        }
    }

    void ToggleScale()
    {
        if (scaled)
        {
            cameraRig.transform.localScale = defaultScale;
        } else
        {
            cameraRig.transform.localScale = alternateScale;
        }
        scaled = !scaled;
    }
}
