Boundaryless App Configuration

Important Notice

The boundary system is a critical safety feature for fully immersive apps. However, to utilize the Navigation feature effectively, a boundaryless app configuration may be required.

Requirements for Boundaryless Apps

• Boundary must be disabled for the entire app experience

• Apps must not contain any immersive experiences

• Developers must ensure user safety when boundary is disabled

Implementation

Add the following entry to your app's AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-feature
    android:name="com.oculus.feature.BOUNDARYLESS_APP"
    android:required="true"/>
