Tips before playing
Before you can actually play, you have to do some things. Here are some tips to set up everything, since the quest surface is not always easiest to navigate.
Set your limit. The last thing you want to play is to push an object in your room while you are essentially connected to your eyes. Your quest will lead you through the process of setting up your limit. With roamscale you can pull a scope to move freely, inpatient when you stand still. But what if you move locations? Or do you want to play a game that sits down instead of getting up?
To change your limit, press the Oculus button on your right controller (it is the one directly under the joystick). This raises the menu at the end of the screen (you only have to do this if the menu is not yet displayed). From there, if you float over the clock, you can select the quick setting field. Then choose Guardian. If you select inpatient, you only have to make confirmation and you are all defined. If you select Room Scale, it will lead to drawing a new guardian limit.
Your quest can also support the space mapping that the outdoor cameras uses to find walls and objects in your room and to remind you for later. This makes the move between the rooms smoothly and effortlessly and enables expanded XR functions in some games. You can find the information about this function on the “Environmental Setup” tab.
Buy the games. The Meta Quest Store It’s the easiest way to buy games for your headset, but there are three ways to do this. Regardless of which option you choose, you need a payment method in the file (credit card, debit card or PayPal). The browser method is the easiest way to enter these details.
- Browser: Register in the shop. From there you can either enter the name of the game at the top right into the search bar or click on “Apps & Games” to search. As soon as you have selected a game, there is a blue button on the right next to its info page that lists the price. Beat that and you will ask for purchase.
- App: Download the Oculus app and register in your account. Click the memory button at the bottom left and as with the browser steps you can either leaf through or search for a specific title. As soon as you click on a game, the app uses the same button with a price system on the bottom of the screen. Simply click on the button, check the payment details and click on the purchase.
- Headset: When the headset is switched on, bring up the lower menu again. The shop symbol is the orange -colored with a small shopping bag. Click on it and you have the opportunity to go through games or search. As soon as you have selected a game and look at your info page, click the blue button on the right with the price marker for sale.
Note: If the game is free, the “Get” button will take place instead of listing a price. And if you buy the game via a browser or the app, you will still have to download it to your headset. You can find instructions in the next step.
Download your games and access your games and take up. As soon as you have bought a game, you have to download it. If you bought it in your headset in the store, the download should be started automatically. As soon as it is finished, the button changes to “play” so that you can jump in directly.
If you have bought the game via the browser or the app, visit your headset in the store and look for the game. It is listed as “bought” in the store, but when you click on your info page, the blue button has changed from the listing of the price to “download”. Click on that and the progress bar of the download will automatically be displayed.
If your headset is connected or on a charging sock and in standby mode, you can also use the Oculus app to initiate a download on the device. I will use this to pick up a game on my cell phone and make it ready when I put on the headset.
To access all of your games – both bought and downloaded – you become the lower menu bar by clicking on the Oculus button on this right controller. From there, click on the “Apps” button (with the nine points). This shows you all your purchases and you can filter to see exactly the installed or those who are not. Click on the symbol of the game and it should be loaded straight up.
Breakers your Serne. Occasionally you will find that your screen is no longer as centered as you want. Perhaps you have lost your headset to check your phone or drink water, or you are in the game and want to change your orientation. To quickly reset your view, keep the meta button on the right controller for a few seconds. You will see that a small dial is displayed and as soon as it is filled out, the view you are currently looking for is reset.
Check your battery life. When you charge fully charged, the battery usually takes about two hours. If you are not sure how much juice your headset has, press the Oculus key on the right controller to call up the lower menu. There is a small battery symbol on the left under the clock that offers you a rough measurement of your load. If you click on it, the “Quick settings” screen is displayed. At the top left is exactly the percentage and that of each of your controller.
