    • important - This feature does not handle playspaces with wall corners greater than 180 degrees well.
      
    
    
  • There are many options available, and it will require some tweaking to get it how you like it.
    
  • Read Patch Notes or documentaiton for more information
    
  
  
• Redirected Walking
  
  • This Feature automatically steers you away from the edge of your play area by encouraging you to walk towards the middle of your play area.
    
    • important to give you reasonable additional "length" of your playspace, you will need a very large area or it will be quite a noticeable.
      
    
    
  • This feature is independent of Auto-Turn, and can be used to extend your percieved length of your area, i.e. a 2m x 2m playspace may feel more like a 2.5m x 2.5m
