Buttons and ports on the headset
Headset buttons and functions
1. Power button – To power on; press and hold the button for a few seconds, or until the indicator
turns white. If the led is a solid colour, the screen is on. If the led light is blinking, the headset is
rebooting or in the process of turning on.
To wake from sleep; press the button once. Pressing any other button will wake it from sleep as
well.
2. Volume button – The minus button decreases the volume, and the plus button increases the
volume. Let the user know where these buttons are so they can adjust the volume themselves
3. Back adjustment strap – This strap adjusts the width of the back strap. You can pull on one end
of the strap to shorten it
4. Top adjustment strap – A soft piece of fabric that goes over the top of the head. You can fasten
or loosen this strap by adjusting the velcro strip
5. Speakers – Used for volume adjustment when in VR

Controller buttons and functions

6. Tracking ring – Tracks the controllers in proximity to the headset. This is done through the
cameras on the headset. So the headset can’t track the controllers well if the controllers are
behind something (such as the user), or if there is a reflection of the controller visible.
7. Thumbstick – Small joystick, controlled by the thumb. Often used for moving around in VR
8. Oculus button – Press once to go back to the Oculus home screen or press and hold to reset
your view
9. ABXY buttons – The A and B buttons are located on the right controller, and the X and Y buttons
on the left controller. The A and X buttons are select buttons, while the B and Y buttons are back
buttons, they let you exit things/applications, or let you go back to a previous screen.
10. Grip button – Often used for grabbing things or making a first in game
11. Trigger button – Used to select things in, for example, a menu by pointing and pulling/clicking
this trigger button

How to connect the headset to a pc or laptop

This step-by-step explanation should work on both the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2. If there is
anything different between the two headsets, the steps will say so and explain what to do in that
case.
1. Make sure you have installed the Meta Quest app on a phone, and the Oculus desktop app
on the laptop or pc.
You can find the Meta Quest app for the phones by searching for “Meta quest app for
Android/iOS”. Or look for the desktop app by searching for “Meta quest desktop app”.

2. Open the app on the phone and turn on Bluetooth and your location.

3. Next you want to pair the headset to a phone. If you’re on Hanze Wi-Fi/network, you either
want to make sure they’re connected to an eduroam hotspot, or the ZP11 (or similar)
network. An eduroam hotspot is best made through a laptop. Connect the laptop to the
eduroam network, go to your settings, click ‘network & internet’, navigate to the ‘mobile
hotspot’. Then give the network a name and password if you want and set the network band
to 2.4 GHz, to make sure that the headset can see the network as well.
4. Now go ahead and connect the phone to the hotspot.
5. Then go to the Meta Quest app on the phone, and click on ‘menu’, then on ‘devices’. Click
on ‘pair new headset’, select the correct headset and follow the steps in the set-up. Make
sure that you connect the headset to the hotspot that was created.

6. If you then want to connect it to a laptop or pc, you need to open the Oculus desktop app.

7. Once in the Oculus desktop app, click on ‘devices’ on the left, then click ‘Add headset’.

8. Select the right headset and choose if you want to connect the headset wirelessly or wired.
Then follow the steps on the desktop app.
Basic internal functions

Eye tracking
No, there isn’t eye tracking available on the Oculus Quest, Quest 2, or Rift (S.

Quick passthrough
Yes, there is quick passthrough available on the Oculus Quest, Quest 2, or Rift (S).
[how to turn on in settings]
You turn on quick passthrough by quickly tapping twice on the side of the headset. Either side?

How to keep the headset in good condition

Shock damage
As many objects/electronics, you should be careful with shock damage. Which means you or the
user shouldn’t drop the headset or place it down forcefully. Make sure that the user also doesn’t
walk into objects with the headset or controllers as that can damage the headset and controllers as
well as the user.

Lenses
Make sure the lenses are never exposed to direct sunlight, or harsh / bright artificial light. This could
do irreversible damage to the lenses.

Cameras and air vent ?

Add photo of just the headset and mention the few extra things. Such as the 4 cameras, the air vent,
etc.

Vent -> just above the plastic / rubber face mask ((check this))

Lights on headset and controllers

Red solid light on the headset means that the headset is low battery.
Orange solid light on the headset means that the headset is plugged in and charging.
Green solid light on the headset means that the headset is charged.

White solid light on the headset means the screen is turned on.
White blinking light on the headset means that the screen is rebooting or turning on.
Purple blinking light on the headset means that the headset is performing a factory reset.

How to keep the user and environment safe
Intro sentence

Setting a proper boundary / guardian

Once the user opens the headset to use it, the user will be either immediately prompted to draw or
set a boundary, or you should make sure that the boundary fits the room they’re in. If they need to
walk around with the headset on, place the user in a location where there is room to do so, and
make sure that the boundary fits that location well.

How to set the boundary (steps to follow)

Removing obstacles
Users in VR may forget about their surroundings and make sudden movements. To prevent injuries
from happening and objects from breaking, make sure the space around them is obstacle free. The
occasional desk and/or chair is okay, as long as the user does not move around too much and is
aware of these objects. However, when doing a proper test of a standing game, make sure there are
no obstacles in and closely around the user’s boundary.

Health precautions
Some people experience nausea, dizziness, disorientation, etc. from playing in VR. These effects can
occur after they’ve played for a while, or shortly after putting on the headset. Make sure that the
user knows how to take the headset off quickly, so the negative effects can be limited.

Make sure the controllers are always securely connected to the user’s wrists, so they can drop the
controllers without damaging them, to immediately take off the headset. Let the user know they can
drop the controllers at any moment to take off the headset and think about keeping a chair close in
case they might want to sit down.

TAKE BREAKS

Managing audio levels

Audio that’s too loud can not only damage one’s ears, it can also prevent the user from keeping in
touch with the real world around them. Make sure the user knows where the volume button is and
let them adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

How to help the user put the headset on

1. Make the adjustment straps as loose as possible.
Make the back and top adjustment straps as wide or loose as possible, so that the user can easily
place the headset on their face. Do this by ….
2. If the user has glasses, add the glasses spacer to the headset
If the user has glasses that they want to keep on while playing VR, they can add the black piece of
plastic that’s meant to be a glasses spacer. This will add a bit more room for the glasses to fit in. To
add this you remove the soft face cover by just pulling on it lightly but firmly. Then take the glasses
spacer and click it into the headset frame. Then add the face cover again.
3. Let the user slide the headset on their face
Let them grab the strap with one hand and the headset with the other.
Give some directions about how to guide a user when putting on the headset and/or controllers, and
about what to say.

Mention how to aid them into getting into VR, such as handing the user the controllers. Accompany
these instructions with media such as photos, or videos, to show what to do.

FAQ / troubleshooting

Problem statement 1
Mention and explain any common problems with the headset, and how to fix it (troubleshooting)

Make every problem its own header2, so its easy to find the correct problem and solution

Include photos, screenshots, and videos of the things you’re explaining. Make it as clear as possible
with simple and easy to understand language so that any assistant with any background can follow
along. Refer to other pages if necessary (what will the link look like).
