it is the second reception room for my home and did have a dining table in it, this is now removed and the space is my VR space (woot woot)
I used to run 4 sensors, then the software "matured" to 1.10 and above and i've been trouble shooting the shenanigans ever since 😕

There are many others like it, but this is mine.

Basement living room. Composite wood floors, not too shiny. Not shiny paint on walls. Open space. Window shutters closed during play sessions.

Unique Challenges?
-Trying to find high places to put my sensors for better coverage, without having to drill into the walls.
-Constant questioning as to whether my house is sinking into the ground, leaving the floor not level (only since getting the Rift! :smiley: )

I just set it up in the computer room. Could use a bit more space. It's just under the minimum Vive play space. The main issue is the desk blocks the floor. One of my sensors is up in the air to allow me to touch the floor.

I have mine setup in the living room by my desk, i normally just have two sensors on my desk with the normal front facing setup and then only bring out the third sensor if i need too since it's in an awkward place.

Good thing I made an accurate 3D plan of my living room, finally have a chance to show it off  😄

My unique challenges are all mostly my own space problems really.
- I put my third sensor on the table behind me, but I can't push it too far back since the stairs blocks the top view, and I can't open the door into the living room since it will then block the third sensor.
- Other problem is since my space isn't very big, I can't use the most of the space since the sensors are all on the edges of the desk so I can reach down on the floor(see the top image, the left sensor.) and I can't get so close to the sensors but that's probably for the best so I don't punch my monitor like I see lots of people do 😄

None of those are big problems for me and don't feel like it ever takes away from my VR gaming! 🙂

Home office. No challenges and great tracking since initial setup with 3 sensors.  The only time I have problems is when I try and install a 4th sensor which is now in my closet gathering dust.  But I have no internal/external USB card and I know it's probably bandwidth limitations from my motherboard.

My house has a small bedroom (meant for toddlers, I guess) and I use that. I had to clear some stuff out and I get the optimum rating when I set Guardian

I've setup mine in living room because the bed room doesn't have enough space for it. I change my sensors many times until I find the best setup. The biggest challenge though was convincing my wife make the setup in living room :D.

I mounted my sensors on the ceiling, I put 2 sensors in the 2 front corners and 1 behind me. My computer is in the front of the room, so the biggest challenge is cable managment with the cord from the rear sensor. It had to be really long, which meant it needed to be powered as well, so there are 2 cords to deal with. Right now the cords are just tacked up with staples to keep them off the floor, but I'm thinking of covering them with crown molding.
