Introduction
Meta Quest 2 is a VR headset. According to Wikipedia, "Meta Quest 2 (initially sold as Oculus Quest 2) is a virtual reality (VR) headset developed by Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook, Inc.). It was unveiled on September 16, 2020 and released on October 13. As with its predecessor, the Oculus Quest, the Quest 2 can run as either a standalone headset with an internal, Android-based operating system, or with Oculus Rift-compatible VR software running on a desktop computer. "
Tips
Tutorial
There is tutorial app installed. Do it first.
- Menu to the right
- Somewhere in the list, e.g. top in the picture.
Software on other devices
Install software on both smartphone and PC. It allows configuring and buying software but also other operations.
- Android Store
- For PC, get it from https://www.oculus.com/
Taking and retrieving pictures
In the headset, press both the occulus button and the trigger for about a second in order to take a picture.
You can then send one by one to your mobile phone app by selecting a picture in the file viewer.
Casting what you see in the headset on a PC
On the PC Side
- Use a Chromium-based browser, e.g. Chrome or Edge (Firefox will not work)
- Open https://www.oculus.com/casting
As of dec 26, 2022 the instructions are wrong or incomplete.
In the headset
- Go to the universal menu, by pressing the small little occulus button if necessary
- Select Camera in the menu bar (not settings !)
- Then, press casting
- Select the PC
Casting what you see in the headset on a Mobile phone
On the mobile phone side
- Open Menu -> Casing
In the headset
(as above for PC).
Using the headset with glasses
There is enough space for some glasses:
- Glasses must not exceed a certain size, i.e. typical 70ies glasses will not fit
- You should add a spacer
A better solution is to buy addons for prescription glasses. We tested [ VRWave]. Glasses were delivered from china in less than a week and they do work. In order to get the right glasses, following information must be provided: Right/left correction plus right/left
Below is an example from my eyes: I am short sighted (cannot see far), so SPH values are negative. You cannot get progressive glasses to correct presbyopic eyes, but these are not needed imho. You also need values for astigmatism (CYL + AXS). If CYL is zero you don't need AXS.
RIGHT SPH: - 5.00 RIGHT CYL: 0.00 RIGHT AXS: 180 or 0 LEFT SPH: - 5.50 LEFT CYL: + 0.75 LEFT AXS: 165 IPD: 60
IPD is the distance between center of your pupils. You can download and app on the mobile phone to measure this. I got "Pupil Distance PD Glassses & VR".
