Use Locus while lying down.
Viewing position tilts the Room and View together so the Place stays in front of you when you recline. It is available in Locus 1.1.2 or later.
Adjust your viewing position
- Turn on Viewing position once. Open Settings → Workspace and switch on Viewing position. This adds Recline to Current Place.
- Enter a Virtual Space. Reclining does not tilt Room Portal.
- Choose Settings in the bar, then Recline at the bottom of Current Place.
- Move Recline angle toward Lying down. Choose any angle from 0° to 90°. The Room and View move together around your viewing position.
- Move each window separately. Use its window bar to place it where your eyes, neck, and hands are comfortable.
The angle lasts for this app session. Changing the View or Room keeps the angle. Starting a new session returns to upright.
Return upright
Choose Settings → Recline in the bar, then Reset to upright. Setting the angle back to 0°, or turning off Viewing position in Settings → Workspace, also restores upright viewing.
If you recline often, add Recline to the bar with Settings → Workspace → Customize Bar.
Real desk alignment is paused while the angle is above 0°. Return upright before aligning the Locus desk with your physical desk.
If the result feels wrong
- Confirm that you entered Virtual Space, not Room Portal.
- Adjust the angle gradually instead of jumping straight to 90°.
- Move your app and Mac windows after changing the Room angle; Locus does not move system windows for you.
- If you changed your physical position, choose the current Room seat again so the Room can settle around the new viewing position.
Stay aware of your surroundings. Use a stable position, keep the headset and cable clear, and stop if the angle or posture feels uncomfortable.
