Begin the initial Mixed Reality Install. Setting up Windows Mixed Reality
requires an internet connection. Even if there is nothing to download, Microsoft
still requires internet for the intial set-up.
STEP 1
Connect your headset to your host system. It should automatically launch the
Mixed Reality Portal. You can also press the Windows key and type “Mixed
Reality Portal” - select the app to launch manually.
Follow the on-screen instructions. There may be driver and rmware updates
at this point. If so, allow them to install.
If you fail the system check, you may need to update a driver or use
a dierent system.
STEP 2
Turn on your Mixed Reality motion controllers by pressing and holding the
Windows button on each controller for two seconds. The provided controllers
are pre-paired to the HMD via Bluetooth®.

STEP 3
Set up your VR space. If you have objects in the room you don’t want to
collide with, choose Set me up for all experiences. This allows you to draw
a visible boundary inside your VR experience.
If you don’t need a room boundary, you can choose Set me up for seated
and standing.
STEP 4
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your VR space. Select Center.
This marks the spot and forward-facing direction of the HMD and will be
the default position inside VR experiences.

STEP 5
If you chose all experiences in Step 3, you will now set up the VR room
boundary. Before you click Tra ce, move the HMD away from the center
and to where your boundary will be. Then, click Trace and use the HMD
to trace your boundary.
Keep in mind you’ll want a buer zone between you and any objects you
may hit with your hands while using the controllers.

STEP 6
Once you’ve successfully traced your boundary, you will be asked if you
want to use speech in Mixed Reality. The HP Reverb G2 has built-in
microphones, so you can take advantage of this option if you like.

Help - Windows 10 Speech in Windows Mixed Reality
STEP 7
You’re almost done! Mixed Reality will nish downloading now and install
all necessary components. The full download is several gigabytes, so now
might be a good time for a coee break.

STEP 8
Welcome to the Welcome Screen. You can access settings through
the left navigation pane, as well as mirror the headset display with the
play button.
You can complete set-up inside the HMD at this point. Make sure the
cameras on the HMD can see the oor while scanning the room. Reective
surfaces (like windows) can confuse it.
Put on your HP Reverb G2 headset. For the best eld of view, make sure
the back strap is cradling your occipital lobe (the bump on the back of your
skull).
Within the portal, you can access a tutorial on how to interact with the VR
environment using your motion controllers.
Once inside the Cli House, your set-up is complete!
