Hey, I just purchased a BigScreen Beyond 2 and noticed it performs better with a third base station due to its compact size and closer proximity to the face. I added an extra one for better visibility. I've drawn a simple floor plan to clarify my setup. My existing stations are at positions A and B, but I'm unsure how to position the third one once it arrives. The main concern is maintaining tracking while using my headset at my desk, especially during VR development work. I was considering placing it in BCD for full coverage, but I'd appreciate guidance from someone with more experience. Thanks ahead!

For Lighthouse base stations, the best coverage tends to be from corner to corner across the play area. This is why many suggest using abc corners rather than bcd. A corner directly in front can aid desk work, but it may block the line of sight if your body obstructs it. Corners allow tracking cones to overlap more effectively, reducing blind spots as you move. If you spend a lot on desk VR, try bcd, but for complete room coverage it’s better to keep them in the corners abc.
