==Introduction==
[[File:Stock-vector.jpg|thumbnail|Concept Drawing of Chaperone's Visual Grid]]
The Chaperone system is a utility design by [[Valve]] to be used with their [[Virtual Reality#Platforms|VR platform]], [[SteamVR]], and [[Virtual_Reality#Devices|Head Mounted Display]], the [[HTC Vive]]. Once set up, it keeps track of where a user is in relation to the physical walls around them, and if necessary, shows a [[#Collision Bounds|blue grid]]<ref>http://www.tested.com/tech/concepts/504521-htc-vive-vs-oculus-crescent-bay-my-10-vr-takeaways/</ref> within the user's virtual space to notify them that they are in close proximity to a physical barrier. The [[HTC Vive]] provides tracking within an approximately 15 foot by 15 foot area, and the Chaperon system provides the user with confidence that they will not collide with physical barriers as they experience their virtual content. The first working prototype was introduced at CES 2016 with the announcement of HTC's second Vive development kit.
