About the VIVE Cosmos Elite headset
Out of the box, VIVE Cosmos Elite uses base stations to track the headset and controllers. You
need to separately purchase a supported front cover to use the cameras for tracking and for
passthrough viewing so you can see real surroundings.
The cameras on the headset are sensitive. Do not cover or scratch the cameras.
