The biggest strength of VR gaming is its ability to immerse players in the game world. Not surprising since users have to strap a headset that blocks out the real world onto their heads, but that strength is also VR gaming’s biggest weakness. If you can’t see the world around you, how do you stop yourself from bumping into things? With your feet.

Unlike other VR headsets, the PS VR2 has a built-in camera that users can toggle with a button. Just one press, and the device shows players where they are in a room. Simple, right? Not when they’re in the middle of a particularly intense firefight. When that happens, gamers need an instantaneous and less-intrusive feel for the room, which is easily achieved by literally feeling things out on a floor mat. Companies such as ProxiMat and Asterion manufacture dedicated VR mats users can stand on. The texture is immediately identifiable, so if players stick to the mat, they won’t accidentally bump into anything.

Admittedly, these VR mats can be expensive, so if you don’t want to spend too much money, just buy an inexpensive foam exercise mat. Heck, if you don’t want to spend any money, DIY your own substitute. Use a bath mat or small rug — the fluffier, the better — or something similar. Just so long as you have a floor covering that gives you a clear playing boundary you can feel with your feet, whatever you use will probably work.
