Getting Set Up with the Quest 2 Headset
The Meta Quest 2 headset can take some time to get familiar with. Here are some helpful instructions and videos on how to get set up for success. This is not a substitution for reading the safety instructions that came with the headset, or the Meta Quest 2 User Guide that was provided with your program package. Be sure to thoroughly review those documents before using your headset.
1. Adjusting Your Straps and Lenses
The first step of getting set up is to adjust the straps and lenses to ensure your headset is comfortable and that the picture is clear.
First, make sure the headset is turned on. If the headset is already on, the indicator light (on the right side of the headset) will be white.
If there is no light, push the power button, to the left of the indicator light. It will take a moment for the headset to start.
Now watch the video and follow the instructions.
Tip: You can hold the headset up to your face with your hand to check the adjustment of the lenses before adjusting your straps
2. Grasp the Controllers
The controllers for the Quest 2 can be confusing at first. A simple way to determine the left from the right controller is that the left controller has a ‘Y’ and ‘X’ button, and the right controller has an ‘A’ and ‘B’ button.
The image on the right demonstrates how to grasp the controllers correctly. Be sure to slide the safety straps over each wrist and tighten them first, for your safety, and the safety of others.
The image below demonstrates how to grasp the controllers correctly. Be sure to slide the safety straps over each wrist and tighten them first, for your safety, and the safety of others.
For each controller, the grip switch should be facing your other hand, or inwards. Your index, or pointer finger, should rest on the trigger switch, at the front of the controller. Your middle finger should rest on the grip switch, and your thumbs should hover over the buttons within the dark grey circle. Your ring finger and little finger grasp the controller.
3. Setting the Guardian
When you are using a VR headset, you will not be aware of the environment around you. That’s why it is important to set a ‘Guardian’ boundry to ensure you are safe during your experience.
Watch the video on the right to set up a safe stationary boundry for yourself when you are in VR.
You should remain stationary when engaging in the upcoming VR experiences. You can be seated or standing. If you are seated, we recommend that you use a swivel chair to allow you to fully explore the environment.
Get Familiar with VR
Now that your headset is fitted and you are gripping the controllers correctly, we’d like you to explore the Oculus ‘First Steps’ program. This program is a great introduction to the virtual reality environment, and will help you get familiar with the controllers and the experience.
Watch the video to the right on how to launch ‘First Steps,’ then use the headset and controllers to launch the program.
Tip: A small percentage of people can feel uncomfortable when using VR. If you experience nausea, dizziness, or general discomfort, feel free to stop at any time. Please still complete the the post experience survey so we can understand the extent of the issue
