Sony has revealed how much room you’ll need to play PlayStation VR, recommending that users have at least a 3 metre by 1.9 metre play area to use the headset.

The size requirements were found inside a PlayStation VR document uploaded to Reddit, which also recommends that users “remain seated” while using the headset “whenever possible”, and that they sit back at least 0.6m (2 ft) from the PlayStation Camera.

“Limit your use of PS VR to within the Play Area,” Sony says. “The height of the Play Area depends on the range captured by the camera. Clear an area larger than the Play Area of all obstacles before using PS VR and remain seated whenever possible. If an application requires you to stand while wearing, the VR headset, follow the application instructions carefully, and maintain awareness of your surroundings”.

PlayStation VR launches on October 13 for £349.

UPDATE: Much more info about PlayStation VR, including the details regarding space requirements, are now available on the PlayStation Asia website.
