I want users to be able to trigger the VPS experience from farther away—around 10 meters from the scanned area. Is there any recommended way to expand the activation range?

Hi, welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately this is a limitation of VPS and how it works, however I’ve forwarded this to our mapping team so they’re aware of the interest.
