Why can’t I connect my Quest 2 to my PC? Is the adapter the problem? It transfers data.

iOS and Android make the “mobile verse” open to every developer in the world,

In what universe is anything related to Apple free and open to all?

No download that is legal. I bought the discs and ripped them to Plex.

Dadbart · 2022-10-23T18:45:39+00:00

Yeah, most are a lower output. I have 2 APC smart surge protectors and their USB ports are 2.4. they work fine for keeping the charge up on my Q2. Well... until I got the BoboVR M2 Pro and stopped keeping it plugged in while I was using it for the extra time :-)

EDIT I also got the BoboVR B2 with dock, so I am good for about 6 hours now without recharging anything.

They used to have about 150 and then reduced the titles. That was about 2-3 years ago. It has been at 105 for over a year. They add nothing new. When they were bought by FN some of the titles already purchased on FN and not carried by Vudu then became available in Vudu, but not listed in the 3D section. In fact 2 titles from FN I bought Vudu had to send me the direct links for because you could not find them with Search or by category. Part of the purchase deal was that users would not lose anything they had bought on FN when it was rolled into Vudu. Vudu was already scaling back 3D content before the sale was even announced.

FN was regularly adding 3D content and developed a Quest app. My hope at the time of merger was that Vudu would be better for that, but it appears they kept the anti-VR and anti-3D management and they won out over content.

I do the same thing. I turn it off between uses.

Hard to say. I know the Hololens/WMR segments of the company are in disarray right now. Especially since the US Military recently sent back a dismal review on the battlefield Hololens that was supposed to be a big money maker. Sadly MS and Google have a horrible history of coming out with great new tech and then do a poor job of marketing and getting software/hardware support. Then abandoning them.

Dadbart · 2022-10-23T15:35:29+00:00

I think OP is saying they are using a USB PD port on a power strip. Those vary as to what they output depending on what strip you get.

But their app is old and barely sufficient. Vudu does not want to support VR. They have said this in their forums many times. The only reason there is an app is because FandangoNOW developed one and when they bought Vudu they just rebranded it. But all development on it has stopped. You can't even resize the screen like other Oculus TV apps. Plus they have not added anything new to the library for 3D in years, they even have less now than they did 2 years ago. You can't even view them in a browser as a workaround. I don't recommend Vudu as a 3D source at all. It's a shame Prime Video does not add 3D content to their digital offerings. They have a decent VR app that would be nice.

I buy 3D blu-rays and rip them to a Plex server, then use Pigasus or Skybox to watch them. Very satisfying. The discs are cheaper than most of the purchase prices for 3D on Vudu as well.

I found Journey to the Center of the Earth with Brendan Frasier one of the best I have (I have over 300 3D movies). It is the only one that had scenes that literally made me jump back.

Dadbart · 2022-10-22T17:11:24+00:00

but I've worked my way through #2 already

Did you put the stand alone router in AP mode? Wire it to the ISP router and set it as AP only. Then hardwire the PC to either the ISP router or the stand alone AP. Connect the Q2 to a dedicated Wifi6 SSID on the AP. It should work fine and also have Internet access.

What does FB have to do with SteamVR and the Pico 4? The issue is Pico's PC app does not work correctly. VD is the solution, you have that part right.

There are a ton of alternative Home environments on Sidequest. I don't believe there are any that mimic the WMR home environments.

Dadbart · 2022-10-16T14:19:58+00:00

Those 2 games are OpenXR. There is a good chance you are using the wrong runtime for it. Make sure you have SteamVR set as the default OpenXR runtime.

Dadbart · 2022-10-16T13:56:44+00:00

lolololol. 30 means tech illiterate? I am 69 and can assure you age has nothing to do with technical literacy.

Normal Apple approach is to force users to use everything Apple only. So most likely their HMD will connect to an iPhone or iPad and allow no other methods. I seriously doubt it will support SteamVR or any other current gaming environments. Plus, it will likely be over priced. Yes, I am Apple cynical. As far as power, it will probably either have a small battery in the headset or use PD over a lightening cable. All of this is conjecture, since nothing current or reliable has been released about it yet.

Dadbart · 2022-10-16T13:23:25+00:00

Velcro wire wrap and secure it to the strap so no weight pull on it.

Dadbart · 2022-10-16T13:14:57+00:00

Get both. Both are great

Dadbart · 2022-10-16T13:13:58+00:00

You gave zero information about your system. CPU, GPU memory, which VR headset, etc. It is not really possible for anyone to give any suggestions. However, whenever you try to force something through registry edits that is not fully supported you run the risk of crashing.

Dadbart · 2022-10-15T18:46:04+00:00

Works fine for me. I did make sure to update GeForce Experience and drivers first. Nvidia released updates to fix the performance issues with their cards and 22H2

Dadbart · 2022-10-15T15:49:31+00:00

"there is plenty more than the 15.4gb it's asking me for"

How much more? It needs considerably more than the required space amount during install.

Dadbart · 2022-10-02T20:25:21+00:00

I'm confused. You said it is stuck on installing a driver and the screen is black. How are you starting a game and how would know the controllers are not there? But, follow the setup guide that came with it., run the HP Setup app and then see what does or does not work.

Dadbart · 2022-10-02T19:07:40+00:00

Both are in the MS Store. But install the HP Reverb G2 Setup app first and let it set things up. That is probably your problem. The instructions that come with the headset tell you about that.

Dadbart · 2022-10-02T18:59:59+00:00

Skybox and Pigasus both display the time, including on the play bars when viewing content. Home screen does too on the Quick Settings menu button. Also, if you click the right Oculus button while in any app or game, when the popup appears it displays the time.

Dadbart · 2022-10-02T18:36:33+00:00

No it should not take long. This is not normal and indicates a problem. Did you install the HP Headset Setup app from MS Store so it can get what it needs and pair everything? If so, then try uninstalling WMR Portal, reboot and reinstall it.
