Haptic VR Training Equipment Software user manual
1.Oculus Quest Setup
The section is designed to designate the principal software tools to install from the internet and local repositories. The VRBox comes already setup, however this guide can help troubleshoot some of the issues which might appear.
1.1.Oculus Quest setup
Generally, Oculus OS comes preloaded on the headsets chosen for the VRBox. However, each one of them has a configuration process before starting the for the first time or after a factory reset.
1.2.Oculus first time configuration
To start, plug the charging cable into your Oculus Quest 2 Headset and a power source to begin charging it. The charging indicator will turn green once it is fully charged. If you have not already charged your Quest 2, we recommend keeping your headset connected to a power source while it runs the initial updates.
1.3.Facebook account
For Oculus Quest, a Facebook account is required to use your device and apps and the Oculus Store. You can create a Facebook account by tapping Sign Up on the first screen of the device setup process in the Oculus mobile app.
1.4.Adjust your headset fit and view
-
To start, you'll want to gently adjust the lenses by shifting them left, then right, until they click into the position that allows you to see what's on the screen most clearly (in position 1, 2 or 3).
-
Next, adjust the side straps. To do this, move the two sliders on either side of the top strap.
-
To loosen the side straps, move the sliders towards the top strap. To tighten the side straps, move the sliders away from the top strap.
-
After you have moved the sliders, re-center the top strap between the sliders so that the two sides are equal, and the top strap is centered on your head when you put the headset on.
-
Bear in mind that you will need to remove the headset from your head to re-adjust the side straps with the sliders.
-
-
Place the headset on your head, then remove it and make any additional adjustments to the side straps as needed.
-
Once you have got the side straps set, put your headset back on and adjust the top strap. You can adjust the top strap by pulling apart the Velcro and re-attaching it so that your Quest 2 rests lightly on your face and the picture is clear.
-
You can fine-tune your headset fit and clarity by gently moving the firm arms on either side of your Quest 2 up and down to adjust the angle of the headset against your face.
Once your headset has been adjusted, follow the instructions in VR and in the Oculus mobile app to complete the setup process.
1.5.Enable Developer Mode
-
Tap Settings (bottom-right) on the Oculus app (Android/iOS)
-
Select your connected Quest from the device list and connect to it.
-
Tap More Settings which appears below your Quest in the device list.
-
Tap Developer Mode.
-
Tap the switch to enable developer mode.
1.6.Oculus Quest Elite Battery Strap
When you use the Elite strap with battery on your Quest 2, the main battery status indicators such as the LED on the side of your headset, and the main battery level shown in your headset, will show the combined battery level of your Quest 2 and Elite strap with battery. If you select the headset power icon in VR, it will show you a more detailed view of the battery status with separate charge levels for the internal headset battery and Elite strap battery.
In addition to monitoring the color of the LED on your Quest 2, you can also see battery levels in VR:
In your headset in the universal toolbar, you will see the combined level of your headset with your Elite strap with battery. You will know that you are seeing the combined battery level when your headset icon is replaced by your headset with Elite strap + battery icon. You can also hover over the icon to see a breakdown of battery levels for your headset and Elite strap + battery.
2.Casting setup
After the initial setup, there are three ways to cast the VR content from the Oculus headset:

With the router, you can access your network from anywhere within the wireless network coverage. However, the wireless signal strength and coverage vary depending on the actual environment where your router is in. Many obstacles may limit the range of the wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thickness and number of walls.
For your security and best Wi-Fi performance, please:
•Do not locate the router in the place where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
•Keep away from strong electromagnetic radiation source and electromagnetic-sensitive devices.
•Place the router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source.
•Place the router in a location where it can receive a strong mobile internet signal.
•Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard.
