**Headset simulation** lets you preview the Content Layer with a restricted field of view, simulating how it appears on a headset.

### How to Use Headset Simulation

Open **Settings → AR Sim** tab and enable the toggle.

You can set the field of view (FOV) using preset values based on released AR headset specifications (for example, XREAL One or Meta Orion), or set custom values.

Additionally, you can enable **Additive Blending** to switch all objects in your space to an additive material, helping to simulate the visual limitations of AR headsets better.
