nice, just remember to take it slow at first and acclimate yourself with the likes of Ocean Decent, Danger Ball (both VR Worlds) or the various ones from the free Playroom VR (excluding the platformer Robo Rescue as it's more advanced) before you go into more demanding games

if you ever feel a bit uncomfortable (light headache, sweating, queasy) take a break and come back to it later

Cool. If you will, whats the experience of the tracking in a low light/dimly lit room? Any issues? Any setup/calibration tips?

I was thinking of setting it up in my basement on my gaming PC Desk as i have the extra monitor, a good chair and ample floorspace  for standing for the likes of the aim controller games. Its also away from the traffic so i can nerd out in peace.

low light is pretty ideal, probably better than completely dark as white walls can create reflections of the tracking lights or the TV/monitor (if nobody is watching anyway you might want to switch those off) that confuse the cam

to get as close to the "perfect calibration" as possible you might want to try this at some point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k2uuWUlfLE but it's usually not necessary for your first experiences, just something to keep in mind once you want to play for hours

there is a setting to adjust your IPD (distance between eyes) pretty buried in the menu that you should do, here is a guide to do it "manually", as the cam does a pretty poor job: https://www.vrheads.com/how-manually-set-your-ipd-playstation-vr

other than that people say they have a better time with tracking if they just let the HMD sit on a flat surface (table/floor) for up to a minute after starting a game and tracking seems to have a small chance to go haywire if the PS4 is booted from restmode
