Create a floor, GameObject->3D Object->Cube.
Make a Plane for the teleport area. GameObject->3D Object->Plane It should be located above your cube
Add the Teleport Area component to the plane

search for tele select Teleport Area
This will allow the player to teleport anywhere along this plane.
Save your scene.
If you have a VR headset, you can now test your scene by selecting the Play arrow.
