Hi I'm a full time wheelchair user, I own an HTC Vive and an oculus Rift and also pre ordered the Quest. Steam VR has Accessibility options in advanced settings where I can make myself taller in VR with a slider and also assign a spare button on the controller that I can hold to go back to seated height and let go for virtual standing height again so it's like the equivalent of a crouching button... and so I much prefer to use my Vive for this reason and hardly ever use my Rift... I would really like it if you could add these simple options to make it fair and accessible to everyone, and I would use my rift more, also worried if I'll be able to play games on my quest if I can't make myself taller in VR... I really hope you can add this feature and make it fair for all. And if I'm writing to the Wrong place could you direct me who I should contact. Thanks |

I believe in the Quest set up you define the floor elevation by placing one of the controllers on the floor. I would assume that if you placed it on a raised surface ( a low table for instance) you would then get an elevated viewpoint.
I think that would actually make me even shorter, To make myself taller in steam VR it moves the floor further down, So in oculus that means I would have to define the floor elevation as underground which is impossible.

Really hope a solution becomes available, I`m not disabled but I firmly believe that manufacturers like Oculus etc should make the system available for all, so the best of luck.

This is a brilliant feature, for everyone who has various mobility issues, even those who don't and could just see the value of adjustable height and crouch features. Man, I sure hope the Oculus developers listen to your request and push it high on the todo list.
