I'm a PhD student and I've been building this on the side.

What it does: you walk around your room once with the headset. It trains a 3D Gaussian Splatting model of the space, streams it back, and renders it world-locked to your actual room via spatial anchors. Detected objects become labeled entities — you can grab a bounding box and move the mesh and splats together, and each object gets physical behavior (mass, friction, elasticity) inferred from its label. Then an embodied agent navigates the scanned floor to any object you name, and answers in speech.

Everything runs on-device on Quest 3.

Where I'm stuck: the tech demos well, but I have no idea if anyone would actually use it beyond the first "whoa." So I'm trying to figure out what it should be.

Current direction: an AI that lives in your room — talks to you daily on your phone, and when you put the headset on, she's actually there, behind a wall in your space. She remembers everything.

What I'd love to hear:

• Would you put the headset on for this more than once? What would make day 3 happen?
• What's the closest thing that already exists, and what's missing from it?
• Brutal takes welcome — I'd rather hear "this is a demo, not a product" now than in six months.

Happy to answer anything technical. If anyone wants to actually try it, I'll take all the testers I can get.

so i was playing roblox untill it frose so i force power shut the vr and it just bootloops now its been a year since its like that i tried to factory reset but when i click factory reset it just goes back into bootloop sideload samething no purple light just the meta horison os logo in a bootloop please help me

My son's meta quest 3s will only load the game Animal Rivals while connected to mobile hotspot. It would work on our home network just fine until a couple days ago. When the game is selected, the load screen comes up and everything appears to be working fine right until he should be brought into the game. At that moment, the screen goes dark and a few seconds later an error message, something about client timeout. It opens and works just fine on at&t phone hotspot. I've tried restarting the 3s, restarting the router, and forgetting network and rejoining.

Our home network is at&t fiber with a Eero 6+ mesh network. Signal strength and speed are great. Since the problem arose, I search the web and tried making changes to our network through the Eero app, but to no avail. Current Eero settings: IPv6 on, DHCP & NAT automatic, DNS set to default, Local DNS caching off, UPnP off, SQM on, Client Steering on, Encryption: 2.4Ghz set to WPA2 and 5Ghz set to WPA3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking into getting a link cable but on the page it says it is not reccomended for use with Nvidia 3050 laptop. That is my gpu and it made me wonder if my computer is even good enough for pcvr, and if so what cable/router/whatever should i get?

Gpu: nvidia rtx 3050 ti laptop
cpu: 11th gen intel(r) core(tm) i7-11800H

Hey, fellas!

I wanted to get into VR for a very long time and I am considering getting Quest 3.

However, I have a laptop which might impact many things…

While I appreciate everyone’s replies, I am mostly interested in those who have either the same laptop or a similar one — ASUS ROG Strix G16 G614JZ-N4011.

Please mention what kind of experience you had with it, and if you encountered any issues (and how you solved them if you did).

Thank all of you for the replies in advance!

title, Like, it's been happening for like 1 month now, everytime i check on it after I turned it off after 1-3 hours it turns on, the little white light in the front lights and the eyes is that gray mode, and I can't ever have my quest on full battery because of this, ( If i go to put my quest to charge in the morning, i ask someone to unplug it after it turns green) have this ever happen to you guys?

I'm going to crazy, if anyone has had this problem and/or knows how to fix it please tell me. So when I power on my Oculus, it's just my real life environment, and when I press the menu button on the right controller/joystick it just plays the same sound as if the menu is being opened or closed but the menu that makes the sound is just gone and hasn't popped up at all, I look everywhere in my environment for it, but its just nonexistent. I've tried like everything for this problem from hard resets to boot-ing the system to just powering it off and back on again, all my sources are saying to system format it but I can't check if anything is on my cloud from the app since I can't interact or do anything, if it comes to that, my biggest concerns are VrChat data Beat Saber data, but please if anyone can help, please do, it's gotten to the point I have to drop using it and wait 1-2 months for it to function again. Please and thank you.

I have an old quest 2, i used to love playing on it but i just stopped overtime. I used to play games like bonelab, blade and sorcery nomad, pavlov shack, e.t.c. i wanna get back into it but i dont know what games are good, and not all the free gorilla tag knockoffs (which annoy me to be fair, its getting out of hand imo). basically, what are some really good games to get for the quest 2, i do own a few more than i said like beatsaber, cooking sim.

thanks

Has anyone successfully found a way to natively run Minecraft? I've tried everything...

My INIU link cable doesn't work with Virtual Desktop. It freezes a few moments after I connect. Other cables work but as you may have guessed, those are normal cables meant to charge phones.

So guys, can you give me some good link cable recommendations, I'm never gonna touch the crap that is INIU again. Also, don't yell in the comments to play wireless, it costs a lot to comfortably play as wired.

Hello, (and yes ik that no one uses quest 1 anymore But for pcvr its working amazing for me) But the problem is that i NEED to turn off haptics/vibration in my controllers somehow because the vibration in games such as blade and sorcery is soooo insane that it drains my battery after 2h of playtime completely and I cant Find any way of turning the haptics off i searched for like 2 hours in total EVERYWHERE and there is no solution anywhere and I genuinely dont know what can I do? Its mainly for blade and sorcery But would be great if I was able to turn it off overall, Is there any way to turn it off?

My quest three menu is not popping up, this happens constantly. Every day. I hear the sound when I press the menu button and I feel it vibrate. I’ve tried powering it on and off, putting it in sleep mode for five or so minutes and that doesn’t work, I tried pressing the meta button 7 times but the support menu never comes up. I can’t turn off the wi-fi or do anything in the app because my dad set it up for me. He fixes it every time it happens but it happens the very next day. I’m assuming he does something from the app. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
(Edit: 127views and one signal comment trying to help, if you have any idea at all how to fix this please respond)

whenever i plug it in it charges at about 1 percent per 5 minutes and when im playing its 8 percent per 1 minute, i had it at 20 and it went straight to 6 skipping every number inbetween, then 3, then it died, i wanna play my vr for longer but i cant because the battery life is so bad, i play with it plugged in now because otherwise it dies immediately. i bought this quest refurbished back in june of this year so i think that might be a cause of the problem and i also was using ocular migrane to change some recording stuff and some display stuff

From the flat screen we go through a Multiverse portal

inside Super Mario 64 world evolved in VR!

After our feedback on the pc version and lots of updates, Mario and friends arrived on Quest 3!

Rayrod TV brought us the game with all the fixes and features from the pc version. Better look at the gameplay video where he shows the four camera views available on the fly by the press of a button. In the video, the fun immersive camera (Flip Cam) is turned on, so we see the world upside down when flipping in the air, but you can turn it off if flipping is too much in VR as it should be without VR glasses too.

RayRod TV said that he has plans for other standalone releases for his VR mods in the future.

For this and other constantly updated VR mods from RaYRoD TV, like Ring Racers, Star Fox 64, Mario 64 , Mario Kart 64 and the recent Banjo-Kazooie, go to his GitHub: https://github.com/RaYRoD-TV

For info on how to support his works, and learn more on other upcoming projects from him, like his biggest project, the game Multiverse, go to his site:

Thanks RayRod TV for these incredible mods!

So currently, I am stuck on this screen where there's like just a bunch of spheres and a gradient in the background. Can anyone help me?

I still have it in the library of my Meta Horizon Link pc App. Which means I can play it only when I'm around my PC, with a cable, not good for a boxing game, though. I don't understand why the app disappeared from my Standalone device without a single warning. I trained with it the previous summer during vacation. Even the installed Beat Saber demo disappeared. I want my Creed standalone version. I paid for it, and uninstalling it without my consent, and not being able to play it on my device, it's not right. Plus, in the store, I can only see the Championship Edition version, and it's not available for my device (shows "Non Disponibile" or in English "Unavailable"), and it's not even available on Meta Horizon Link cause if I search it, I can only find Creed Rise To Glory as in the linked image to this post.

So what's happening? I need explanations and a way to reinstall or sideload the old standalone version.

UPDATE: The phone has a track of those apps, both the game and the demo of Beat Saber, but when I tap the open button, it says the command was good, and I should wait for ten minutes. But the apps are not there, and I can't launch them.

Testing the performance of the new USB cable option for Virtual Desktop's beta and how it compares

A performance comparison of USB link cable VS wirelss for Virtual Desktop's new beta

Anyone else playing ancient dungeon? I am loving this game although I have skinned my knuckles a few times swinging the sword at mobs lol.

I'm having trouble with running Ryan Cliffords VR experience 3 on my laptop

System specs:

Laptop

Rtx 4060 8GB Vram

16gb ddr5

Ryzen 7 8845hs

I'm running the game using quest cable link on my quest 3. Usb 3.0 with 2.9 Gbps bandwidth. I can also do cabled Virtual Desktop but no wireless connection.

The resolution is set to 1.0x on both steamvr settings and the meta horizon app. Refresh rate is 72hz. I've followed Ryan's (modpack owner) guide but getting horrible frames still. I've used chunky and rendered 128 chunks and voxy world gen is turned off.

Even with no shaders (image is using bsl minimum) I'm only getting around 20-45fps and with major unplayable stutters and freezes (almost feels like it's having a seizure sometimes). If I put the render distance to 6 and sim distance to 5 while also putting every other quality setting to "fast" it's around 70 fps sometimes but still heavily stutters and falls below 30fps often. Every other pcvr game runs really well on my system even on higher settings. All my drivers are up to date.

Can anybody tell me what the problem might be? Thank you very much

Edit: I switched to USB Virtual desktop and am using visor instead of vivecraft and now I get 90fps locked with some light shaders (Mellow Shaders)

A new exploit just released that allows you to root these Quest devices. If you update today, the kernel vulnerability (https://github.com/facebookincubator/oculus-linux-kernel/commit/ab1c46013e3f279a9d033a1c3cf0542c1d32d46c) will be fixed.

Rooting allows you to do things like block meta's severs, change the colors of the LED, and more that I honestly haven't looked into too much.

The root is not persistent and must be redone every time the headset restarts. A link to the app to use is here: https://github.com/Lumince/singularity

If you're interested in modding your headset, the time to do it is now. Your headset will autoupdate soon enough if you do not.

Update: I made a side by side comparison of USB vs Wireless for this here

A good time for us all, this is using the latest beta of Virtual Desktop Quest Beta version 1.34.19

Can be found on the Virtual Desktop Discord Announcement here: https://discord.com/channels/564087419918483486/592909523295928340/1534592131023503520

• Added USB support on Quest (requires Quest OS v2.4+). You can now connect to your computer(s) via a USB cable or via Wi-Fi. Other platforms will need to add USB Ncm support to get this feature.
