The Oculus Browser on the Oculus Quest 2 keeps a record of every website you visit on its History page. If you don’t clear it, people who use your headset after you can see which sites you’ve been viewing. Here’s how to clear that browsing data.

First, open Oculus Browser on your Quest 1 or 2 headset (these instructions work for both models). You’ll find the browser in your app library.

In the Oculus Browser window, select the menu button (three dots) in the upper-right corner.

In the menu that appears on the side of the window, select “Clear Browsing Data.”

After that, a small “Clear Data” window will open. If necessary, place a checkmark beside “Browsing History” (and any other items you want to clear), then click the “Clear Data” button.

The Oculus Browser will clear the browsing data you selected. You can repeat this process any time you like.

In the future, if you don’t want you clear your browsing data manually after every Oculus Browser session, you can use Private Mode by clicking the browser menu and selecting “Enter Private Mode.” Private Mode will prevent the browser from keeping track of your browsing history. Stay safe!

Oculus Quest 2 is the first Facebook headset to require a Facebook account. It’s the culmination of a trend of deeper integration between Oculus products and Facebook services. That means it’s worth knowing what privacy settings are offered to you and what data Facebook collects on your VR usage. Here’s the overview.

Where to Find Oculus Quest 2 Privacy Settings

Although there’s not a lot of customization of privacy settings available right now, at least Facebook makes them easy to change. In fact, you can do it right now from your web browser by checking out the Oculus Privacy Center and then scrolling down to Privacy Settings.

Here what you can control and what each option does:

Who will see your activity on Oculus?

This controls how your current activity in VR is displayed on your profile (like which app you’re using). If you don’t want anyone to know what you’re currently up to in VR, change this to ‘Only Me’.

Who can see your friends list on Oculus?

This controls who can see the people your VR friends are through your Oculus profile. If you don’t want anyone to see who your VR friends are, change this to ‘Only Me’.

Who will see your Facebook name on Oculus?

This controls which name people will see associated with your Oculus profile. Depending upon your setting, people may see your Oculus username or the first and last name of your Facebook profile. This also controls whether or not people can search for your Oculus profile by your Facebook name. If you don’t want anyone to see your real name in VR or be able to find your Oculus profile with your real name, change this to ‘Only Me’.

There’s one other key setting you can change: whether or not Facebook stores recordings of your voice captured by the Voice Commands feature; by default any time you use Voice Commands, a voice recording of the command will be stored on Facebook’s servers.

You can only disable this option from within your headset, here’s how:

1. In your headset, bring up the Quest menu by pressing the Oculus button on your right controller. Find the Settings section (gear icon).
2. On the left of the Settings section select ‘Device’
3. In the Device menu, select ‘Voice Commands’
4. In the Voice Commands menu, switch off the ‘Store Voice Commands’ option

How to See What Data Facebook Has Collected About Your VR Usage

Facebook stores information about what you do in VR for various purposes, including basic account functionality (like knowing which games you’ve purchased), and advertising (like showing you an ad in your Facebook feed for Oculus games you recently searched for in your headset).

You can see a fairly comprehensive list of the data associated with your Oculus account by accessing the View Your Information section of the Oculus Privacy Center. Here’s the overview of what’s shown there:

• Profile Information
  • Real name
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Username
  • Email address
  • Profile photo
  • Avatar 2D image
• Other Information About You
  • Current and past profile photos
  • Language selection
• Information About Your Account
  • Account creation time
  • Account creation source
  • Account status
• Your Apps and Content
  • Apps you own
  • Recently viewed apps
  • Bundles you own
  • In-app entitlements
  • Achievements
  • Subscribed events
  • Named rooms
  • Cloud saves
  • Chat threads
• Your Ratings and Reviews
• Information About Your Devices
  • Which Oculus devices are registered with your account
  • Associated devices (names of computers or phones used with Oculus headsets)
  • Online status history
  • Oculus Home status
  • Device sharing
  • Users you are sharing with
• Your Settings and Preferences
  • Who can see your real name (setting)
  • Who can search for you by your real name (setting)
  • Who can see your friends list (setting)
  • Who can see your activity (setting)
  • Notification preferences
  • Email subscriptions
  • Interests (based on Oculus Explore Feed)
  • Allow Non-Oculus apps (setting)
  • Incognito mode (setting)
  • App activity privacy
• Friends
• Security and Login Information
  • Login history
  • Active sessions
  • Location history
• Rift Home Information
  • Last login
  • Total homes
  • Active homes
  • Item uploads
  • Place uploads
  • Unlocked home items
• Your Voice Activities

The above is the data that Facebook captures about your VR use, but if you’re using Quest 2, your VR usage data is inherently associated with data collected by Facebook on your non-VR activity. Thus it’s also worth looking over that information to know what kind of data will potentially be used to influence your activity in VR.

You can find the data Facebook has collected on your non-VR activities by visiting the Access Your Information page on Facebook.

Ну, на этот раз ты действительно сделал это. Вы искали что-то неловкое, как «Linux», на вашем Oculus, и теперь оно находится в вашей истории поиска. Чем ты планируешь заняться? К счастью, у нас есть инструкции по очистке вашего браузера или истории поиска на вашем Oculus Go.

Поиск вашей истории браузера Oculus Go

Откройте ваш браузер с помощью основного навигационного инструмента, а затем посмотрите на правую сторону. Нажмите кнопку «Настройки» (значок шестеренки) в верхнем правом углу, а затем нажмите кнопку «История».

Здесь вы можете просмотреть всю историю и удалить отдельные элементы истории.

Очистка вашего браузера и истории поиска на Oculus Go

Как вы, наверное, догадались, чтобы удалить всю историю браузера за один раз, вернитесь в «Настройки», а затем нажмите «Очистить данные просмотра».

По умолчанию используется очистка данных за последний час. Если для вас достаточно времени, выберите только то, что вы хотите удалить, и нажмите кнопку «Очистить данные». Если вы хотите удалить данные из более чем за последний час, щелкните там, где он читает «Очистить данные за последний час».

Это открывает быстрое окно, в котором вы можете изменить период времени, для которого данные будут очищены. Если вы хотите очистить всю историю просмотров, выберите опцию «начало времени».

Очистка данных довольно проста, но, возможно, в следующий раз используйте режим частного просмотра на своем Oculus Go, прежде чем снова искать такие вещи, как Linux.

The Oculus browser on the Oculus Quest 2 keeps a history of every website you visit on its history page. If you don’t clear it, people using your headphones will then be able to see what sites you’ve been watching. Here’s how to clear this browsing data.

First, open the Oculus browser on your Quest 1 or 2 headset (these instructions work for both models). You’ll find the browser in your apps library.

In the Oculus Browser window, select the menu button (three dots) in the upper-right corner.

In the menu that appears on the side of the window, select “Clear browsing data”.

After that, a small window “Clear data” will open. If necessary, put a check mark next to “Browsing history” (and any other items you want to clear), then click the “Clear data” button.

Oculus Browser will clear the browsing data you selected. You can repeat this process any time you want.

In the future, if you don’t want to manually clear browsing data after each Oculus Browser session, you can use private mode by clicking on the browser menu and selecting “Enter Private Mode”. Private mode will prevent the browser from tracking your browsing history. Stay safe!

• Both devices are untethered so regardless of your choice, you don’t have to worry about pesky cables or light-houses.
• The Oculus Go has a very low entry barrier with reduced cost and a simplified controller but in terms of functionality and DoF, Oculus Quest is the clear leader.

Introduction

Both Oculus’ headsets, Quest and Go, are the excellent devices in their own right and will provide hours of productivity and entertainment as needed.

But at the end of the day, if you are limited in choice and can only pick one, you should consider a few things before making the final decision. Your best starting point is a consideration of movement possibilities and controller interactions.

One of the core differences between them is that the Oculus Go is a more stationary device. This means that a user can only look around when using the headset. In contrast, Quest’ users have more freedom of movement and can virtually (thus physically) walk around with the headset on.

Also, the controller in Oculus Go is more stationary and acts as a pointer, while on the Quest, the controllers have free movement and more inputs.

Tech details

Let’s dig directly into the details, using a simple table highlighting the differences between the two devices.

At first glance, the Quest seems to be the more spaced out of the two devices with a corresponding price tag to match. However, depending on your use case, getting the more expensive offering might not be the best choice.

Both head mounting mechanisms and cushioning of these headsets are pretty comparable, however, there is a noticeable difference in weight.

The additional sensors and internal hardware found in the Oculus Quest means that it weighs about 100 grams more. We can note however that it didn’t cause any difficulties for us in terms of comfort. Thus, keep in mind it may become more of a factor for more complex (meaning in general: longer) simulations.

Freedom in VR – 3DOF vs 6DOF

So, the Oculus Quest is an obvious 6DOF headset, while Oculus Go stays at a beginner-friendly level of a 3DOF device. What does that mean for you?

One of the key differences that separate the two headsets is its DoF or – to expand the abbreviation – Degree of Freedom that they allow. Simply stated, 3 or 6 DOF refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space.

Now your preference here depends on what you use the headsets for and what type of applications you run.

Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward or backward (surge), up/down (heave), left/right (sway) translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed yaw (normal axis), pitch (transverse axis), and roll (longitudinal axis). With 3DoF you can only track rotational movement while 6DoF head-tracking means you can track both position and rotation.

Long story short, you should be aware that 3DOF headsets are limited to head movements and controller tracking only. In other words, it’s a big flashy NO for moving your whole body in the VR world – you need to teleport around with your controllers for that.

Tracking differences

Oculus Quest has a set of cameras dotted around the headset; these cameras track your hands/body movement and mimic it in the VR world. This allows the Quest to be completely wireless.

In stark contrast, the Oculus Go utilizes an onboard spectrum of sensors such as the gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer to deliver only 3DoF. Simply stated this is tilt and rotation tracking. The device cannot do positional tracking so you won’t notice if you move side to side, up or down, or forward and backward. Its controller is also quite limited in that it’s a small, wireless remote control with a few button inputs.

Yet, Oculus Go has no cameras and is only able to track your head movements and the position of the single controller.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Oculus Quest will soon support tracking user’s hands without the need of holding any controllers – similar to how Leap Motion functions.

Not only does this provide a more natural way to interact with the VR world, but it also introduces completely new possibilities for the developers and simplifies the user’s experience. There’s no need to grab the controllers, charge them or pair them with the headset. You simply put on the headset and see your hands in VR.

Display

The display on each of these devices is another distinguishing feature, while the Oculus Go sports an LCD panel with 1,280 x 1,440 pixels per eye (2560 x 1440 Panel at 60Hz), which gives a decent image quality on its own. It has on-board graphics being driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor.

It is however outclassed by the OLED display found on the Oculus Quest with 1440 x 1600 pixels per eye (2880 x 1600 resolution at 72Hz). Obviously, this gives smoother graphics and an all-round better viewing experience. Unlike the Oculus Go, the Quest is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, which is a newer processor providing better performance.

So, if it’s just a choice of which has a better display we can give it to the Oculus Quest and call it a day. This should not discount the good image quality that you can get on the Oculus Go.

Oculus Go vs Oculus Quest: Summary

The end result of your decision-making process should be based on a few criteria such as your budget, use case, and level of interaction needed with the device. When choosing a device, we should consider if a user should have a headset and controller movement possibility or not.

The Quest was created more for the gaming industry with an advanced tracking system which gives us the possibility for physical interactions with objects around us. Where Go is still a solid choice for watching movies, 360 videos and playing more basic (but still pretty fun) VR games.

Facebook had some big announcements to make during the F8 conference and each one of them is unique in its own way and better than the other. With a suite of products in their pipeline, the company had some extensive announcements to make.

The Oculus Go was officially launched with a price tag of $199. At this pricing, it is expected to make virtual reality affordable for everyone. Most would never mind the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive which could set them back by $2k or even more to experience VR. The Go is a complete VR headset which includes a Snapdragon processor to provide what people need out of the box.

Facebook didn’t stop there as the company was on a roll introducing its new feature to delete history on the Facebook accounts. The website will stop accumulating too much information to provide their users more privacy and they even rolled out Instagram video chat.

Make Video Calls on Instagram

Users should now be able to make easy video calls on the Instagram app. The announcement was officially made on the Instagram blog which further explained how the feature works. According to the post, more than 100 million users watch Live content on the platform and they want to further expand on the same.

When you open the Instagram app, all you have to do is tap on the new camera icon. The app now lets people make both one to one and group calls making it the ultimate tool for your communication needs. Long gone are the days when Skype used to be the only place to make high-quality calls as the feature is now available on multiple platforms, with Instagram joining the lot.

Keeping things intuitive is the ability to minimize the video call anytime so that you can continue texting with other people or perform other activities on your smartphone. The video calling feature is in its beta testing phase and is expected to be rolled out globally in the near future.

Apart from the video calling feature, Instagram will also allow users to share Spotify songs, footage from a GoPro camera among other things from a different app. They will be shared as stories. Another addition is the app will now allow third parties to design camera effects which users can make use of in their stories panel and it is expected to pave way for some great, quirky effects to lighten up the moment.

Oculus Go – Facebook Wants One Billion VR Users Soon

Oculus Go priced at just $199 was the biggest announced made by Facebook during the F8 event. While the product itself was launched a long time ago, it was confirmed that it will be made available to the general public worldwide now. Many such innovative projects never see the light of the day but Oculus supported by Facebook’s massive marketing department and funds managed to bring out the budget-friendly VR headset to the market.

Mark Zuckerberg revealed that he wanted at least one billion VR users in future and Oculus CEO Hugo Barra added that standalone VR product is what will make their dreams come true. The ultimate goal is to get as many people as possible to check out this new technology and being able to take it out of the box, wear it so as to experience immersion is what the common buyer would expect. Oculus Go exactly meets the requirement and delivers more so to create a standalone market for virtual reality apps, games among other content.

Facebook Rooms for Oculus Go

Barra clarified that there is a wrong notion about virtual reality because people assume the headset will cut you off from the real world. Facebook Rooms is the answer to this which will allow everyone in any part of the world to wear the Go headset and be able to talk to each other sitting in a room.

A group of friends can sit together playing cards, watch a movie on television or simply talk to one another. Their virtual avatars, the room setup, and multiple activities are expected to make it more social especially when you consider the fact that there are no geographical barriers to form a group like this one.

Oculus TV and Oculus Venue

Along with the Oculus Go headset, Oculus TV is getting launched which will allow users to watch Netflix, Hulu among other content inside the virtual world. Oculus Venue will put you directly in a football stadium, an NBA match or a music concert to experience for the most immersive live event experience ever. All these apps are expected to make the headset popular and an alternative to smartphones which people use a lot these days.

Clear Search History, App Logins, and Others on Facebook

This is an important announcement which should put an end to privacy issues or at least reduce it. Similar to how people usually clear cookies so that browsers and websites wouldn’t track their activity, Facebook has launched a feature to let you delete your history, avoid making suggestions every time and ask you to login freshly to new apps that need access to your account.

Facebook Got a New Dating Website and Other Announcements

Facebook confirmed that it’s entering the dating market against OkCupid and Tinder. With one billion users, they have a better chance at helping people meet the love of their life and it will also have a new messenger to maintain privacy. The company also announced 3D photos using which users can take a photo and convert it into 3D before uploading it to the website.

With a future update, you will also be able to walk through a room in virtual reality which will be scattered with photos from your past and offer a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The Facebook app will also bring watch party feature to let you watch live events with friends and comment. The developers have also rolled out a better crisis response feature to let friends know you are safe, M translations in Messenger to break barriers created by language and AR-based Camera effects for smartphones that support it.

The Oculus Browser on the Oculus Quest 2 retains a file of each web site you go to on its Historical past web page. If you happen to don’t clear it, individuals who use your headset after you’ll be able to see which internet sites you’ve been viewing. Right here’s methods to clear that looking information.

First, open Oculus Browser in your Quest 1 or 2 headset (these directions work for each fashions). You’ll discover the browser in your app library.

Within the Oculus Browser window, choose the menu button (three dots) within the upper-right nook.

Within the menu that seems on the aspect of the window, choose “Clear Searching Information.”

After that, a small “Clear Information” window will open. If crucial, place a checkmark beside “Searching Historical past” (and every other gadgets you need to clear), then click on the “Clear Information” button.

The Oculus Browser will clear the looking information you chose. You’ll be able to repeat this course of any time you want.

Sooner or later, if you happen to don’t need you clear your looking information manually after each Oculus Browser session, you’ll be able to use Personal Mode by clicking the browser menu and choosing “Enter Personal Mode.” Personal Mode will stop the browser from preserving observe of your looking historical past. Keep secure!

Oculus is great, Social tab on app won’t work

I love my Oculus, however the social tab on my app on my iPhone will never load so I cannot see friends or chat messages….even when it tells me there is a notification. There is the same error every time that says “Unable to load. Please try again later”. This has been going on for weeks, so I decided to contact oculus support. After 30 min of searching I realized that they have no phone support number, so I resorted to the chat feature. Clearly a chat feature doesn’t have as many capabilities as phone support so after another 30 minutes, I was told they have no clue what is wrong with my app and were sending it to be further investigated….and that I would hear back by email (not phone of course) in 3-5 days. I’m disappointed in the lack of support available for devices that cost $400 a piece and their associated app. App support needs to be available, as the techs seem to only know how to support the devise, not the associated software.

The best reasons to use this are all broken.

The app is presented to the user in a useful and intuitive way, but lacks execution. Exhibit A; the recently added Mixed Reality Camera (a feature which made me immediately re-download the app). For those who don’t know, this gives the user the capability to record yourself in your surroundings in VR, with augmented-reality capable phones (iPhone 7 Plus and up)*. This feature just doesn’t work. The app in the headset tells me to use the phone and the phone just casts, doesn’t offer anything else where everything should be. Exhibit B; the phone notifications. This feature works maybe 60% of the time and refuses to let me unpair the headset to the phone via Bluetooth when I need to repair it (I CANT DELETE THE HEADSET FROM MY BLUETOOTH), which I need to repair the system if the notification flow to the headset stops. This is a pity as this capability was added a while ago and still hasn’t really been patched. At this point this app just gives your headset a bunch of half-baked capabilities that only work half of the time. Wouldn’t suggest use after you’ve gotten past initial setup of headset.

*in the instructions it says iPhone X and up, but the supposed capability is aligned with the 7 Plus, and has been seen in other instances working as well as the new phones. In short, there’s 0 reason why this shouldn’t LOAD, not that it should work or connect.

Horrible Customer Support

I was really surprised to see how poor the customer support is for Oculus. I was double charged for the same app (which sounds like a glitch in itself) and when I requested a refund for the extra charge I was blocked from using either game at all and continued to be blocked even after my refund for one of the apps was approved. When I contacted support they told me to uninstall and reinstall the app even though I explained that the app was unusable and I couldn’t access it anymore. It took multiple emails and threatening to get my bank involved to get another response, I asked if they couldn’t fix the glitch to be refunded for the second app/charge so maybe we could try repurchasing the app to get it to work. After 3 weeks I finally got an email back saying they would make a “one time exception” (indicating this was an issue on my end) and refund my money rather than acknowledging the product issue on their end, apologizing for the ridiculous wait to resolve the issue, and double charging my card! I’m so over this entitled mentality. Maybe this was just a case of an inept person but I expected more maturity and quality from such a predominate company. Hopefully someone who cares about this company’s integrity reads this and takes the opportunity to better their product and improve their customer service.

App Privacy

The developer, Meta Platforms, Inc. , indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.

Data Linked to You

The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:

You can revert your Oculus Go to its original settings in about 30 seconds, wiping clean every bit of data and removing your account from the headset once and for all. But why would you want to factory reset your Oculus Go?

Well, for starters, if you’re selling, giving away, or trading in your Oculus Go you don’t want the new owner to have access to your data.

On the other hand, if you’re keeping your headset, but it’s not working properly, a factory reset can restore it back to its proper function.

If you want to use a different account with your Oculus Go, a factory reset is also a necessary first step.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

Samsung Galaxy S10 (From $899.99 at Best Buy)

How to reset your Oculus Go using your headset

1. Hold down the power and volume down buttons simultaneously on your headset until the boot up screen appears.

2. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the “Factory Reset” option on the menu, then select it by pressing the power button.

3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to “Yes” and then select it using the power button.

How to reset your Oculus Go using the app

1. Open the Oculus app on your iPhone, Android, or tablet and tap the Settings menu.

2. Tap the headset that’s connected to your app.

3. Tap the “More Settings” option.

4. Tap “Factory Reset” and then “Reset” to confirm.

The root access opens the door for VR developers and hobbyists to create new software for the Oculus Go.

The unlocked operating system for the Oculus Go headset is now available, giving owners a chance to repurpose the discontinued VR headset for new uses.

Owners can download the unlocked OS, a 711MB file, over Facebook’s Oculus website. The software can be sideloaded to the VR headset and once installed, it’ll offer full root access to the Oculus Go’s operating system.

The root access opens the door for VR developers and hobbyists to create new software for the Oculus Go, which runs Android. “This (root access) process puts the device in a state where the bootloader does not signature check the boot.img, and does not enforce dm-verity verification via the kernel command line,” Oculus explained. “This allows you to safely replace the boot.img with your own version, which in turn allows you to replace the system.img.”

The Oculus Go originally arrived in 2018 for $199 as an entry-level VR headset. But last year, Facebook decided to discontinue the product to focus on developing its more powerful VR product, the Oculus Quest series.

The company is promising to maintain the software on the Oculus Go through next year with fixes and security updates. But last month, former Oculus CTO John Carmack tweeted the full root access was arriving to the VR headset, giving the developer community a chance to customize and improve the product to their liking.

If you decide you’re not a fan of the unlocked OS, you can return the Oculus Go to a locked state by issuing the “fastboot oem lock” command. “This command will also wipe your user data upon execution to prevent persistent rootkits or other malicious software,” Oculus said.

But if you place the Oculus Go back into a locked state, make sure it’s loaded with an official “boot.img” file for the device. Otherwise the VR headset won’t boot up. “Only official Oculus-signed images may be run when the device is in a locked state,” Oculus added.

Well, you’ve really done it this time. You searched for something embarrassing—like “Linux”—on your Oculus, and now it’s in your search history. What are you going to do? Luckily, we’ve got the instructions for clearing your browser or search history on your Oculus Go.

好吧，这次您确实做到了。 您在Oculus上搜索了令人尴尬的内容(例如“ Linux”)，现在它已出现在搜索历史中。 你会怎样做？ 幸运的是，我们已获得在Oculus Go上清除浏览器或搜索历史记录的说明。

查找您的Oculus Go浏览器历史记录 ( Finding Your Oculus Go Browser History )

Open up your browser using the main navigation tool, and then look over to the right-hand side. Click the “Settings” button (the gear icon) at the upper right-hand corner, and then click the “History” option.

Here, you can view your whole history and delete individual history items.

在Oculus Go上清除浏览器和搜索历史记录 ( Clearing Your Browser and Search History on Oculus Go )

As you probably guessed, to delete your whole browser history at one go, you head back to Settings, and then click the “Clear Browsing Data” option.

The default setting is to clear data from the past hour. If that’s a good enough time frame for you, then just select what you want to delete and hit the “Clear Data” button. If you want to delete data from more than just the past hour, click where it reads “Clear data from the past hour.”

默认设置是清除过去一小时的数据。 如果这对您来说是足够的时间范围，则只需选择要删除的内容，然后单击“清除数据”按钮即可。 如果您要删除过去一个小时以上的数据，请单击其显示为“清除过去一个小时的数据”。

That opens a quick window where you can change the time period for which data will be cleared. If you want to clear your whole browsing history, select the “beginning of time” option.

Clearing data is pretty easy, but maybe next time use the private browsing mode on your Oculus Go before you looking up stuff like Linux again.

Facebook’s Oculus Go is a great device made even better by easy access to your personal files.

During Facebook’s recent F8 developers conference, Mark Zuckerberg announced that everyone in attendance would be walking home with a brand new Oculus Go – the company’s brand new standalone VR headset. On top of that, the device became available in 23 countries in total via the Oculus website, Amazon, and your local Best Buy store.

With a low starting cost of $199 for a 32GB model ($249 for a 64GB), support for both Android & iOS as well as a lightning-fast startup, Facebook has unleashed what could very well be THE most accessible VR headset to date.

According to a recent SuperData Research report, it’s predicted that Facebook will sell 1.8 million Oculus Go units to consumers this year, outpacing other established VR headsets such as Samsung Gear, HTC Vive, and even their own Oculus Rift. If you are one of the many who got a free headset during F8, or who managed to pick one up at Best Buy, then you’re already familiar with the impressive catalogue of over 1000 apps, games and movies available to you right out of the box.

But did you know that by simply plugging your Oculus Go into your computer using the micro USB you are actually able to transfer your own files such as movies, personal videos, and photos into the headset for you and other Oculus community members to enjoy? Well you can!

The process of accessing your files via your Oculus Go headset vary depending on which platform you’re operating, but ultimately the steps are very easy:

The first thing you’ll need to do is download the Android File Transfer tool and install that onto your Mac computer. Once installed, you will then plug-in your Oculus Go into the computer, open up the file transfer tool and then – through your headset – give your computer permission to access the data by choosing “allow access to data.” Once you’ve done that, a window called “VR-Headset” will open up showing you the Go’s internal folders.

The process for windows is much easier. Just connect your Oculus Go to your PC and then through your headset, give your computer permission to access the data. Once connected, you will then open the Windows file explorer and choose “VR- Headset.”

Like Windows, you will simply connect your Oculus Go to your Chromebook. From there, you will give your computer access by choosing “allow access to data.” Once that’s all set, the Go’s file system should come up on your computer screen.

One odd detail however is the inability to view how much actual GB space you are using (at least, not yet), until you’re down to 2 GB’s left – at which the headset will then prompt you with a warning followed by yet another warning at 500 MB’s. Connecting your Oculus Go to your computer will allow you to view and manage the storage space on your headset. You can then pull media files out of the headset and onto your desktop to clean things up and help better identify exactly how much space you have left.

The potential of this side-transfer option opens up a plethora of possibilities for the Oculus Go. With the right configuration the device could theoretically be used within a work environment or in the field of innovation.

With the arrival of Oculus Go comes the affordable, standalone VR we’ve been waiting for.

Oculus, Meta, and the metaverse

In October 2021, Facebook announced that it had changed its company name to Meta. The name change, which was announced at the Facebook Connect AR/VR conference, reflects the company’s growing ambitions beyond social media, notably bringing the metaverse to life. Whether it be at work, in an office, going to concerts or sports events, or even trying on clothes, the metaverse provides a space for endless, interconnected virtual communities using VR headsets, augmented reality (AR) glasses, smartphone apps, or other devices.

Facebook and its other apps, such as Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp will remain but under the Meta umbrella. Alongside this, there will be a rebranding of some of its VR products to Meta, shifting away from the original brand name of Oculus, with the company also revealing that it would start reporting the financial results of its AR/VR business.

Oculus product range

Oculus’s newest product is the Oculus Quest 2 that was launched in October 2020, a standalone VR headset that contains integrated mobile computing hardware and does not require a PC to operate, although optionally a PC can be tethered to the device if necessary. In 2021, Facebook confirmed that it would no longer replenish stock of the Oculus Rift S headset for PCs, with the product unavailable on the Oculus website. The Oculus Rift S joins a list of other discontinued models including the original Oculus Quest and the Oculus Go.

Oculus product history

The Oculus Rift CV1, also known as simply the Oculus Rift, was the first consumer VR model of the Oculus Rift headset, hitting the retail market in late 2016. Before the release of the Oculus Rift, two Oculus Rift development kits, DK1 and DK2, had already been released to encourage the development of games and content. The Oculus Rift was replaced by the Oculus Rift S, released in the second quarter of 2019. The Oculus Rift S could work with the same hardware and software as the original Oculus Rift. Oculus also put to the market two stand-alone VR headsets, namely the Oculus Go and Oculus Quest, the latter going on to become one of the company’s most popular products.

Plugin Events

Plugin Actions

• Switch into the VR fullscreen mode.

• Exit the VR mode.

• Toggle the current VR mode state – switch either into VR mode or exit from it, depending on the current state.

• Set the horiztonally looking direction (hlookat).

• Calibrate the gyroscope sensor manually (Mobile VR only).
• Some devices (especially Android devices) could have an uncalibrated gyroscope sensor and this could lead to wrong and unintended rotations (‘drifting’).
• When calling the calibrate() action the device should be absolutely still (!) for a few seconds (e.g. place the device on a flat and stable table for calibration). The orientation of the device itself doesn’t matter for this process.

Parameters:

• ondone (optionally)
  • Actions to call when the calibration is done.
• onerror (optionally)
  • Actions to call when the calibration failed, e.g. when there was too much movement during the calibration.

• Reset / zero the gyroscope sensor calibration data (Mobile VR only).

• Load or save the MobileVR settings (screensize, profile, gyro-calibration).
• The settings will be stored only locally in the browsers localStorage.
• When calling resetSettings() the setting storage will be cleared.
• The storage works only for the current domain, cross-domain-storage sharing is not possible anymore due browser-restrictions.

iFrame Support

When trying to use MobileVR support inside an ‘cross-origin’ iframe (that means the outer page and inner iframe page are on different origins/domains) then the gyro-usage (and with that also the VR support) might be blocked by the browser.

To work-around that limitation it is possible to ‘capture’ the devicemotion event in the outer page and send it via the postMessage API to the inner iframe.

The black screen of death is an error that some users experience when using the Oculus Quest or Oculus Quest 2. This error manifests as a black screen, either totally black or lit up with nothing on it. In some cases, the Oculus logo may appear before the black screen kicks in. Several issues can lead to the black screen of death, including dead batteries, stuck updates, corrupt firmware, and even hardware issues.

Causes of the Oculus Quest Black Screen of Death

A few issues can cause the Oculus Quest black screen of death. If the batteries are dead or don’t have a sufficient level of charge, that can prevent the headset from turning on. Stuck or interrupted firmware updates can also result in a black screen. For example, if you’ve changed your Oculus password and your Oculus can no longer log in, it may get stuck attempting to update, which will cause the black screen of death. If the firmware is corrupt, or the hardware itself is damaged, that can also cause a similar black screen problem.

How to Fix the Oculus Quest Black Screen of Death

To fix your black screen problem and get your Oculus working again, try these fixes:

Make sure to charge the headset. If the headset has no charge, you’ll see nothing but a black screen. Plug the headset into a compatible USB charger, and leave it alone for a while. If it doesn’t seem to be charging, try a different charger, or make sure you’re using a compatible charger. The Oculus charger outputs 2A, so using a lower amperage charger will result in a longer charge time.

Try opening the Oculus menu. While faced with a black screen, try pressing the menu button on your left controller and the Oculus button on the right controller. If this gives you access to the menu, try opening an app to see if that fixes the black screen problem.

Check the Oculus app. Load up the Oculus app on your phone, and log in if it doesn’t log in automatically. Check to see if the app sees your headset, and try launching a game from the app. After launching the game, put your headset on and check to see if the black screen problem has been corrected.

If you seem to be experiencing a boot loop problem in addition to the black screen of death, this is the most likely cause.

Leave the headset on and plugged in. If you have tried charging the headset and still see nothing but a black screen, and you’re sure you’re using a compatible charger, leave it alone for at least 30 minutes. If the headset is attempting to update, then leaving it alone while plugged into power may allow it to finish the update and return to regular operation.

Make sure you’ve successfully logged in to the Oculus app as described in the previous step, your phone sees the headset, and everything is on Wi-Fi. If the headset needs an update, it may take a long time, depending on the speed of your network. You can also attempt to manually update the Quest or Quest 2.

Check the proximity sensor. Between the lenses in your headset, you’ll find a small proximity sensor. Try covering the sensor with your thumb to see if the black screen goes away. If that doesn’t work, try cleaning the sensor with a dry microfiber cloth.

If the black screen goes away when you cover the sensor with your thumb, but not when you’re wearing the headset, check for gaps or damage that could be allowing light to pass through the foam insert or spacer.

Perform a hard reboot. If pressing the power button results in a black screen, press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. Holding the power button down will cause the Oculus Quest to undergo a hard reboot, which can fix many issues like the black screen of death.

Boot using the bootloader menu. If you can’t perform a hard reboot with just the power button, try performing a hard reboot from the bootloader menu.

1. Press and hold the volume down and power buttons for at least 10 seconds.
2. Highlight boot device using the volume buttons.
3. Press the power button to hard reboot your Quest.

Perform a factory reset of the Quest or Quest 2. Doing this is an extreme measure, as it removes all of your data from the headset and returns it to an original factory state. Make sure you’ve exhausted all of your other options before attempting this fix. You will need to re-download everything, and you will lose all of your saved data.

1. Press and hold the volume down button and power button for at least 10 seconds.
2. Highlight Factory Reset using the volume buttons.
3. Press the power button.

What if the Black Screen of Death Persists?

If you’ve tried all of these fixes, and you still experience the black screen of death, then there is probably an issue with your hardware. This scenario is particularly likely if you perform a factory reset and still have the black screen of death or if you are unable to access the bootloader and can’t perform a factory reset at all. In all likelihood, you will need to contact Oculus for additional assistance and have your headset repaired or replaced.

A lack of data and guidelines is leaving consumers in the dark about virtual reality’s potential negative side effects for kids

• By Edd Gent, LiveScience on October 4, 2016

“data-newsletterpromo_article-image=” Up”data-newsletterpromo_article-button-link=” itemprop=”articleBody”>

Virtual-reality headsets are likely to be at the top of many kids’ wish lists this holiday season, but with many VR devices coming with age restrictions, is the technology safe for youngsters?

The Oculus Rift and Samsung’s Gear VR headsets are recommended for ages 13+, while Sony’s recommendation for its PlayStation VR is ages 12 and up. HTC’s Vive is not designed for children, according to the company, and HTC said young children shouldn’t be allowed to use the headset at all. And Google said its relatively low-tech Cardboard headset should be used by kids only under adult supervision.

Companies have offered little explanation for these age recommendations. So what does the science say? According to Marientina Gotsis, director of the Creative Media & Behavioral Health Center at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, not a lot. [Photos: Virtual Reality Puts Adults in a Child’s World]

“We do not have enough data on the safety of current VR technology for children,” she told Live Science. “So, the sparsity of research data and what we know about neuroplasticity [the brain’s ability to reorganize itself] and children does not make me comfortable to recommend what is available now as is.”

Brain development

In a 2014 study in rats, researchers at the University of California found that the neurons in a brain region associated with spatial learning behaved completely differently in virtual environments compared to in real ones, with more than half of the neurons shutting down while in VR. What this means for humans is unclear, but the scientists said it highlighted the need for more research on the long-term effects of VR.

Gotsis said VR could have an even bigger impact on the developing brains of children. Her center uses entertainment technology, including VR, for mental and behavioral health research. She has worked on VR applications for children, but only in highly controlled situations.

“The brain is very plastic in young ages, and prolonged exposure with improperly fitted devices could incur damage,” she said. “Children also may not understand how to communicate eyestrain and may lack reflexes to remove the devices if they find them uncomfortable.”

Still, this does not necessarily mean that VR is unsafe for children and never can be, she said, adding that VR’s safety varies according to the device, type of content and time spent using it, as well as on the individual child using it.

VR and vision

One of the biggest concerns is the impact VR tech could have on kids’ eyes. Parents have long told children that staring at a screen will make their eyes go square, but the American Academy of Ophthalmology says there is no evidence that long exposure to screens can cause permanent damage.

But another issue with VR is the so-called vergence-accommodation conflict. When you view the world normally, your eye first points the eyeballs—vergence—and then focuses the lenses—accommodation—on an object, and then these two processes are coupled to create a coherent picture.

Modern VR headsets achieve the illusion of depth by presenting each eye with a slightly different image on a flat screen. This means that, no matter how far away an object appears, the eyes remain focused on a fixed point, but they converge on something in the virtual distance.

“Some scientists believe this is the reason some people experience symptoms when viewing 3D stimuli—TV and cinema, as well as headsets,” said Peter Howarth, an optometrist and senior lecturer in visual ergonomics at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.

However, Howarth said there is good evidence to suggest that only those with already weak eye movement and control are likely to experience adverse effects such as headaches and eyestrain. For children, these symptoms are good indicators that these kids need to get their eyes checked, so VR headsets may actually help catch existing problems, he added.

Howarth said that, as far as he knows, no academic studies have been done to investigate the effects of VR on children’s eyes, though it’s possible that VR headset manufacturers have done research in this area. “My guess is that they’re simply covering their backs so that if a child develops a squint, they will not be held responsible,” he told Live Science.

Lack of research

Michael Madary, a postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Mainz in Germany, who in February co-authored the first code of ethics on the use of VR, said the dearth of research on VR’s effects on children is unlikely to improve.

“For obvious ethical reasons, it’s very difficult to do research using children as subjects,” he told Live Science. Madary studies the ethics of emerging technologies, incorporating results from psychology and neuroscience, and he thinks the biggest concern with VR is its effect onchildren’s psychological development.

“Children, at a young age, have difficulty distinguishing reality from fiction or fantasy,” Madary said. “You could imagine putting them in VR—that inability to distinguish could be exaggerated.”

For instance, content that could be traumatic when seen in the cinema is likely to have an even bigger impact in VR. And the negative effects of advertising and unsavory role models on TV could be exacerbated considerably by VR, Madary added.

“In VR, you have an entire environment designed by someone who may want to manipulate you, whether it’s for advertising, for political reasons, for religious reasons,” he said. “If you have a child spending a long time immersed in a VR environment where manipulation is going on, it could be seen as a threat to their autonomy and what kind of adult they become.”

And though VR holds great potential, including for educational and therapeutic uses, Madary said manufacturers need to team up with scientists to investigate the long-term implications of the technology. Until then, he recommends erring on the side of caution.

“I suspect that if parents are doing a good job as parents, that’s pretty much the most important factor,” he said. “It’s just exercising extreme caution and knowing that the experiments have not been done, so you’re experimenting on your kids.”

Share All sharing options for: Oculus discontinues its low-end Go headset to focus on Oculus Quest

Oculus is ending sales of its budget Oculus Go virtual reality headset and opening its Quest headset to a wider range of software. The company will maintain Oculus Go firmware through 2022 and accept new apps through December 2020, but it will stop selling Go hardware after the current stock runs out. Meanwhile, it will add a new Quest app distribution channel without the current strict approval process, encouraging more developers to work with the headset.

In a blog post, Facebook-owned Oculus says it’s retiring the Go after positive response to the Quest — which features the same all-in-one format but tracks full spatial (or 6DoF) motion, not just head orientation. “You’ve told us loud and clear that 6DoF feels like the future of VR. That’s why we’re going all-in, and we won’t be shipping any more 3DoF VR products,” the post says. Oculus already listed the $149 Go as out of stock before its cancelation, and it dropped the Go from its business VR platform in January, saying the Quest was the “best solution” for most users.

Oculus launched the Quest with a highly curated app selection aimed at giving new VR users a consistent experience. Now, with Go developers getting nudged toward the Quest, it’s apparently developing an alternative option for early 2021. This system will let developers “share their apps to anyone with a Quest” as long as they meet Oculus’ content standards. They won’t get the visibility of an Oculus Store page, but users won’t have to manually sideload the apps onto their headsets, making it easier to deploy software that’s in testing or built for a limited audience.

The Oculus Go was designed as a cheap option for non-gaming applications like VR video services; in 2018, Walmart ordered several thousand Go headsets for employee training. But VR cinema has fizzled, while gaming has seen much greater (if still limited) success. At least 10 apps on the games-heavy Quest have earned $2 million within a year of launch, and Oculus has acquired multiple VR gaming studios, most recently Lone Echo and The Order: 1886 developer Ready At Dawn.

While substantially cheaper than other headsets, the Go also locked users out of many popular experiences. And its existence arguably caused confusion about Oculus’ lineup, leading VR newcomers to conflate the Go with the far fuller-featured $399 Quest or other higher-end headsets. By contrast, the tethered Rift S headset isn’t Oculus’ central focus, but it shares many apps with the Quest, and there’s a substantial community of PC VR enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, despite Oculus’ renewed focus on the Quest, that headset has remained unavailable for much of 2020 — part of a larger electronics shortage exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. “We continue to make products available in all channels as quickly as possible for people to buy, and Quest and Rift S have been intermittently in stock in some channels and regions over the past weeks,” a Facebook spokesperson tells The Verge. The Quest was restocked in Oculus’ online store shortly before today’s announcement.
