Virtual Reality

How to use the Virutal Reality Headsets and games at the VR Station.

Headset Setup

Step One:

Make sure all the cords are hooked up and connected to the PC

 

Step Two:

Select your input devices, in our case it is the Touch Controllers

 

Step Three:

Make sure batteries are in the contollers and then begin the pair process. Press and hold the Menu button and Y button until a small white light begins flashing over the X and Y buttons. You will do the same for the right controller this time pressing the Menu and B button.

 

Step Four:  

The app will then set up the senors, you will want the sensors to be between 3-5 feet away from each other

 

Step Five: 

Enter your height, you only need to enter the height of the person setting up the Oculus as it helps it set the floor position properly in experiences.

 

 

 

Guardian

Setting up the Sensor Tracking and Guardian

The Sensors will need calibrated to make sure they are tracking the user and controllers correctly. The Guardian is the barrier around the user's play space. 

Intializing Sensor Tracking

Step One:

Grab one of the Touch Controllers

Step Two: 

Take a few steps back, towards the middle of what your play area will be

Step Three:

Hold the Touch Controller near your face and hold the trigger until a green circle is filled on screen

 

Setting up the Guardian:

Step One: 

Take the controller

Step Two:

Squeeze and hold the trigger button as you walk around the edges of your play space

 

Be careful not to block the controller from the sensors with your body

Ideally you want at least 5x5 feet of space as your play area.

Things to Note:

  • If you move the sensors, disconnect the headset, or otherwise make changes to your play space you will need to redo this process. You can redo your boundaries by going into the Oculus App, Clicking on Devices, Selecting your Device, and Clicking on the Image of the headset. There will be multiple options in the side menu including Reset your Guardian.

Adjusting the Headset Fit

Customizing the Headset Fit

Oculus Headsets are desigined to fit snuggly on your head. They have a top strap and two side straps that you can use to adjust how it fits on your head.

Step One:

Loosen all the straps 

Step Two:

Set the headset on your head

Step Three:

Starting from the back of your head, place the triangle comfortably in the back, then using the straps tighten the headset until it is firmly placed on your face

Safety in VR

The Oculus App will then take you through how to be safe while using the Rift and Touch systems.

You can also view the same video below.

Adjusting the Lens

On the bottom right of the headset, there is the lens slider. This adjusts the distance between the lens and your eyes. Adjusting it will change how things appear, making them more or less blurry.

Another thing that affects how out of focus the experiences will be is if the headset is firmly on your head or not.
