How to set up the Oculus Quest

Posted on by tessanf

Step 1: Don't Panic

Yes it’s expensive so please don’t drop it but VR is easier to get into than you’re expecting! Everything you need is in the Oculus Quest kit available at the J-Cage in Allen Hall.

Please keep the Quest out of direct sunlight and only use the cleaning supplies that come with the kit.

Take frequent breaks while using the Quest, VR can be disorienting for newcomers and cause eyestrain.

Step 2: Power On

Power on the headset by pressing and holding the button on the right side of the headset (D, above), you will hear a tune and it will light up.

Step 3: Suit Up

Then take each of the controllers and slip the strap (B and C above) around your wrist and tighten so they don’t slip off. Power on the controllers by pressing the Oculus Button and the menu button.

Now put on the headset.

Step 4: Fit

The headset should rest comfortably over your eyes and on the bridge of your nose and cheekbones without too much weight. 

To adjust the fit make sure the straps sit at the back of your head then tighten or loosen the velcro to each side and on top (E above). 

Step 5: Play Area

When you put the headset on you should see a loading screen with the Oculus logo. Then you’ll be guided through setting up the Guardian Boundary, this will help keep you safe while you play.

Use your controller to show the Quest the floor level, then holding the trigger draw your play area. Make sure this area is clear of any objects you might run into.

Step 6: Game On

Once set up is completed you will see a home view similar to the one shown above. From here you can choose your game or experience. Pressing the Oculus Button on the controller will always bring you back to this view.

If you’re new to VR I recommend trying out ‘First Steps’ to learn more about what you can do!

Advanced Users

The Oculus Quest Kit comes with an Oculus Link Cable, a long cable with a USB C on each end. This can be used to connect to the Quest to your PC, enabling you to play VR games with Steam or another platform.

Start by plugging one end of the cable into the Quest’s charging port, the other end will be plugged into your PC or desktop tower if it has a USB C connection port.

Once connected, put on the Quest, you will see a prompt asking for permission to connect the headset to the computer, accept this prompt.
