How is your experience so far with the Quest ?

[Shady282]

Hello!

As you know it is one of the futuristic technologies, Please share your experience so far!

Games - Screen resolution - Sound - ergonomically...etc

Thanks!

The best thing I think I have ever bought! Has a few software quirks but is solid . Especially the tracking(hand, head and your physical location in space). Side loading any APK via Oculas Screen is a god send. My brain has a hard time remembering it not reality. And there a lot of games and apps already via oculas and third-parties. Can't recommend it more. Got to be seen to be believed.

Absolutely love it. I got to test it a while before it was released, and I absolutely knew I needed to have one. Beat Saber is amazing, and everyone that I've shown it to was really impressed.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get robo recall to load, so there seem to be a few bugs waiting to be ironed out (might be because I'm traveling between Europe and the US, and the store had some issues with the location?)

I Must say iv loving the quest so far. coming from a psvr the freedom of no wires is amazing. somebody has already mentioned the sidequest pc app, the helps you upload and download software from your quest, also gives you access to the full android on the quest, so you can link Bluetooth joypads and head phones. my quest also had 5 hidden demos of which 2 still worked this was taking up about 2Gb of storage and i could remove them via the full settings app which i now have access to. i have also loaded on some 3D Movies and find that skybox was the best app to view them, with it, its easy to select SBS or Under/Over and the soundtrack. As for Games Beatsaber already allows for custom tracks using the Questsonginstaller, iv not get over 100 tracks on my quest. and as for emulation, i really like the Virual Boy Emulator of Oculus Go which works perfect on quest in full 3D, but you do need to pair a Bluetooth controller to use it. but its great. As for the normal quest games, Vader Immortal, Face Your Fears 2 and Robo Recall are the main ones iv tried. they are all great, the tracking was great and now been able to do full room scale was a game changer for me. the games make visual compromises to get them working, but still looked good and ran great for me. if a new games was coming to both PSVR and QUEST i would get the quest version not just for the ease of setup and the visual hit was`t that much of a deal for me.

Thats about it, iv loving it so far, there are still a few more quest games i want come payday. If you want to try any of the above things above like me, i recommend looking up a tutorial on youtube and they tend to have all the links you need in the description.

cheers

Very cool) Shame that apps from go is not available on quest. Would love to have some apps from go on my quest. Hope we will figure out how to download apps from oculus stores someday.

A fair number of them can actually be pulled via adb and sideloaded on the quest

I was in 2 minds about the quest or the rift s.

so glad i went with this - as if you sideload ALVR its basically a wireless Rift as well. And i have essentially a mobile VR gaming console - i can take it to a field and simply go mad!!

simply love it! jsut need to know how to pair bluetooth gamepads ?

i have created a seperate thread asking this question.

just search for the APK file and OBB if needed

sideload the apk and copy over the OBB (if needed)

I have a very annoying issue. Probably anybody faced it and found a solution.
Sometimes Moss and Robo Recall which I bought in the store ceasing to launch and shows the three dots loader infinitely. It fixes only after reinstalling. So I lost saves every time.

Try using the patched apk and obb files - they work fine for me on robocall

so ironic how the pirate versions work better than the versions you pay for in many cases lol

Memorable experiences?
Exercise.
Eye contact in a porn video. Kind of frightening.
RecRoom paintball.
Chatting to what sounds like a 4 year old in BigScreen.
The pirating warning thread. We don't know this device well and I worry about the messiness of sideloading with a company like Facebook and Oculus. What data do they really have? I'm really looking forward to seeing how this thing is pulled apart.

you bring up a very interesting point with regards to piracy and FB.

You almost think....by making this thing on Android, and making it so easy to register as a developer and sideload apps - they have made it almost too easy to simply sideload games rather than pay some of the exageratingly overpriced tags!

Some of the games are extremely good IMO - namely:

Superhot
Creed
Sairento
Vadar Immortal.

there are many more which are very good also.

Yes the porn is scarey - i have stopped using it for fear of developing expectations in real life which are unattainable looool

So far I am pretty impressed with this headset. One thing I do not like is the head strap that comes with it. Totally ruins the whole experience for me. My HTC Vive is pretty much obsolete compared to the headsets I have now, so I used my 3D printer to print some adapters and put my Vive headstrap with the integrated headphones on my Oculus Quest and it is so much more comfortable. I wish the library for apps and games available were a little more robust, but overall they have some really good games that showcase this headset. Last night I just realized I could turn guardian completely off, so I was able to enjoy playing Red Matter while sitting comfortably in my recliner without my legs activating guardian because I was out of the play area. I did not think I would be enjoying this headset as much as I have been. It's not perfect, but definitely worth what I paid, for what it is.

Hey buddy - if you use sidequest you can sideload all sorts of developer apps.

as you had a Vive i would recommend you use ALVR - this will enable you to use the quest as if it was a Vive or a Rift and play all your PC games with it - and the best thing is it works wirelessly!

Enjoy!!

I have used sidequest to load Root Explorer, Virtual Desktop, and a settings.apk I found for android online, to access some of the extra settings that are initially hidden. Not that there is much you can actually do, with out rooting and/or installing TWRP or something. I tried using Virtual Desktop to use the Quest wirelessly like a Vive or a Rift, but I was not really pleased with the performance, and I had my PC wired directly to the router. I also have a fairly decent PC so I think its more of the app performance than an issue with my PC, which can probably be improved with updates overtime. I was thinking about trying ALVR in the next day or so to see how it is. Virtual Desktop was not bad, but I was hoping to have a little bit better graphics fidelity. I really hope we will get root eventually.

I wouldn't recommend VD to do what you want to do.

ALVR works seemlessly and i can play all my VR PC games on my quest perfectly.

ALVR is not intended as a VD solution - it is specifiacally to use with Steam VR/Oculus and in a sense simply tricks your pc into thinking you have connected a Rift or Vive headset and then displays and lets you play accordingly.

Remember to set the height offset to 15 otherwise it will look like you are on the floor....lol

Awesome...Thanks for the tip. I'll go ahead and give ALVR a try today.
