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.

It also depends on the game and how you're playing. Low ambient light is good to start with.

For playing while sitting, put the camera about 2 meters in front of you at chest level for best results, higher is also good. For some games you might want to offset it a bit left or right, for example for Skyrim VR when you use the bow a lot, place it in such a way that it doesn't see the move controller in front of the headset while aiming. Since I pull the string hand of the bow behind my right ear for full power, the camera needs to be a bit to the right of me so the move doesn't disappear behind the headset.

Farpoint works best with the camera high pointing down a bit, as well for other games where you aim through sights. If you play standing put the camera a bit further back to have more room, However the further back you put the camera the more gentle sway you get in tracking (fowards/backwards)

The system is pretty forgiving though. Somtimes I wonder why it seems a bit off, then I check and the camera is sitting on the floor in the corner since I moved the boxes around it's usually sitting on. But if you're going to play for hours, you might as well put it in the best spot so it can clearly see all the actions you do.
