# Calibrating Height in VR

When using Sansar with a VR headset, you should make sure to calibrate your height. Height calibration affects the elevation of you your first-person point of view, and plays a role in scaling how your avatar is animated when you move your arms, legs, and head.

Entering your height manually

**You can set your height manually while in VR:**

1. Open the main menu on your left wrist by pressing **Y** on your Oculus Rift controller or **Left Menu** on your HTC Vive controller.
2. Using your opposite hand, select **Set height** from the main menu.
3. Use your VR controller to activate the up and down arrows until your correct height is displayed.
4. Click **Ok** to confirm your height.

Detecting your height automatically

Sansar can estimate your height automatically by measuring the length of your arms:

1. Open the main menu on your left wrist by pressing **Y** on your Oculus Rift controller or **Left Menu** on your HTC Vive controller.
2. Using your opposite hand, select **Set height** from the main menu.
3. Choose **Detect**.
4. Extend your arms outward, then hold any button on your VR controller until calibration completes.
5. Click **Ok** to confirm your height.

Height calibration settings

There are some Sansar [settings](/latest/sansarbasics/settings/settings.md) that affect height calibration:

* **Remember height** - Remembers your height between sessions so you don't need to calibrate every time you log in.
* **Show height in meters** - Shows height in meters rather than the default feet and inches.
