Some people would always see the ceiling grid, which might lower immersion.

That's a good point, and something my Vive setup has been struggling with. My play area is just a little bit too small, so I see the boundaries a lot. It's not as bad as not having them and periodically punching a wall or walking in to the couch, but it's kind of a bummer to see it and go, "oh, right, I'm in my living room," especially in some of the much more immersive experiences.

You should be able to turn it off then, much like how you can change the wall pattern on the chaperone and turn it off completely if you desired right now.

It should track the controllers; not your head; only if you're always with your hands at shoulder/higher level...
