# Speed Tracking

> Keep your movements slow and careful when a Training tracks your speed.

Some tasks, such as handling hazardous or delicate materials, must be done slowly. When a Training tracks your speed, it measures how fast you move and alerts you if you go too fast.

## The Speed Bar

While speed tracking is on, a speed bar appears in your view. It floats near the center of your view and follows your head. If a [time limit](/creator-studio/trainee-client/time-limit) is also running, the speed bar shows below the timer.

The bar runs from green to red. A marker moves towards the red end as you move faster; when it reaches the end, you've reached the speed limit.

The speed is measured from your **head**, your **hands** and your **controllers**. Whichever is moving fastest counts. Teleporting doesn't count as movement, and your speed isn't measured while the Training is paused or an alert is open.

Some Trainings also show **particles** around you that increase as you move faster.

## When You Move Too Fast

When you reach the speed limit:

* The Training pauses.
* A red tint appears around the edges of your view, and an error sound plays.
* An alert shows a message from the Training, with an **Okay** button.

</Frame>

Tap **Okay**. What happens next depends on how the Training is set up:

| Setting | What happens |
| - | - |
| **Let user continue** | The Training carries on. If you're still moving too fast, the alert appears again. |
| **Restart step** | The Training goes back to the step where speed tracking started. |
| **Restart training** | The Training starts again from the beginning. |

<Tip>
  Move slowly and smoothly, including your head. A quick turn of your head can set off the alert.
