Power on 

To turn on the Quest 2, hold down the power button for 3 seconds. You will feel the controllers buzz once on.

 

Headset 

Place the headset on your head. Adjust the straps as needed. You can also adjust the lenses (IPD) by gently pushing them together or apart.

 

Set boundary

We recommend that you use the Stationary Boundary when completing Bodyswaps modules. Look around to check that the boundary is correctly positioned and clear of any obstructions. Select Confirm with the trigger, A or X button on the controller. If the boundary needs to change, select Change.

Confirm the floor level by lining up the grid with the floor. Move the grid by moving the thumb stick or touching the floor with your controller. Click Confirm. Select Switch to Stationary Boundary. Confirm Stationary boundary - look around and make sure there is nothing you can hit with your arms or less. Select Confirm.
