当您第一次接触到Oculus（现在的Meta）Quest 2 时，您可能会想打开它并投入到 VR 游戏(dive into VR gaming)中——这并没有错！不过，如果您花时间启用一些特定设置，您将获得更好的 VR 体验。
Meta Quest 2 VR 耳机具有多种设置，可以让初次使用的用户更容易使用（并且更容易开始游戏）。为新用户尝试这些提示和技巧，看看您是否更喜欢耳机。
启用直通
直通(Passthrough)是一种设置，可让您通过头显的外部摄像头进行查看。它将你周围的空间描绘成一种模糊的黑白，但戴上耳机后找到你的控制器要容易得多。有两种主要方法可以实现这一点。
第一个是启用Passthrough Home，它取消了默认的虚拟环境并始终启用 passthrough，除非您启动应用程序。
- 按下(Press)右侧触摸控制器上的Oculus按钮以调出快速菜单，然后选择左下角
的快速设置图标。(Quick Settings)
- 出现“快速设置”(Quick Settings)菜单后，选择“眼睛”(Eye)图标。
- 你会看到你周围的房间，而不是虚拟背景。
第二个选项是打开Passthrough Shortcut，它允许您通过双击耳机右侧来激活 Passthrough。
- 打开Quest菜单并选择右上角的
设置。(Settings)
- 选择监护人。
- 选择切换以激活双击(Double Tap)以进行直通(Passthrough)。
启用后，您只需双击耳机侧面即可查看您在现实世界中的位置。如果您离守护者屏障太近，它非常适合将自己置于游戏空间中。
投资备用镜片
如果您戴眼镜（就像我们许多人一样），那么Oculus Quest 2会带来一些问题。头戴式耳机非常贴合，当您取下头戴式耳机时，通常会摘下您的眼镜。还有划伤内部Quest镜片（或您自己的眼镜）的风险。
Quest 2内部镜头易碎，如果损坏，您必须更换整个镜头。您应该格外小心，以免以任何方式伤害它们。随附的超细纤维布是清洁它们的绝佳选择。只需(Just)使用轻柔的笔触，不要压在他们身上。
如果您想降低这种风险，您可以从HonsVR、VR Lens Lab和WIDMOvr等公司购买咬合式处方镜片。这个过程很简单：只需在网站上输入您的处方，他们就会在几周内出现在您家门口。这些镜头磁性地安装在您的 VR 耳机上。
您无需戴眼镜即可在 VR 中玩游戏。最重要的是，它为Quest(Quest)的内部镜片增加了另一层保护，您甚至可以选择蓝光过滤和防眩光等功能。
另一个好处：这些通常包括一个带衬垫的 VR 罩，可以在不使用时保护您的镜头免受阳光照射。
通过 App Lab(Games Through App Lab)尝试未发布和实验性游戏
App Lab是一个平台，设计师可以在其中添加未完成和实验性的 VR 游戏(experimental VR games)。这些游戏在经过全面测试后通常会离开App Lab，但这是寻找廉价且极具创新性的 VR 体验的好方法。
App Lab DB是所有已知App Lab游戏的工作数据库。它允许您按受欢迎程度、年龄、评级甚至价格进行排序。您还可以搜索特定的标题。当今一些最著名的Quest 2游戏（如Gorilla Tag）是从App Lab开始的。
找到游戏后，App Lab会将您带到Quest 2 商店中的下载页面。只需选择下载游戏，它就会出现在您的Quest 2 耳机中，假设您已经将您的Facebook帐户链接到Quest商店。
在玩之前
检查游戏的舒适度(Comfort Level)
Oculus商店中的每款游戏都被赋予三个舒适等级之一：舒适、中等(Moderate)或强烈(Intense)。
由于虚拟现实游戏经常会导致晕车，因此这些评级对于帮助您发现游戏是否适合您非常重要。几乎任何人都可以玩舒适的游戏，而大多数玩家都可以玩中度游戏——但不是全部。(Games)那些刚接触 VR 的人应该避免激烈的游戏，直到他们掌握了窍门。
舒适游戏的一个例子是Beat Saber，你站在一个地方，只挥动你的手臂。激烈的游戏将是Gorilla Tag，您可以在其中挥动手臂并通过大量快速移动推动自己穿过竞技场。
您可以通过在Oculus 商店(Oculus Store)的应用页面中选择更多信息来找到游戏的(Info)舒适度(Comfort Level)。
(Connect)通过Air Link(Air Link)或Link Cable连接到您的 PC
如果您发现自己受到Oculus Store库的限制，请不要担心。借助Oculus Link 功能(Oculus Link feature)，您可以玩一些自己喜欢的 PC 游戏(favorite PC games)。这使您可以在 Quest 2 耳机上玩 PC VR 和SteamVR游戏。(SteamVR)这是一项实验性功能，但效果很好 - 特别是如果您有一根长USB-C电缆以提供更多移动性。
您还可以使用此功能为您喜爱的 VR 游戏启用模组，例如Beat Saber。不要忽视这个设置——它可以让你获得一些最好的 VR 体验。我们有关于如何做到这一点的完整指南。
流式传输您的游戏
想说服其他人参与其中吗？您可以流式传输您的游戏玩法，并让其他人确切地看到它在 VR 中的样子。最简单的方法之一是简单地将您的游戏玩法投射到Chromecast或类似的东西上。您还可以将游戏内容投射到Apple或Android手机上。
另一种选择是只截取你在 VR 中看到的最疯狂的事件。这些可以通过Facebook与您的朋友分享。谁知道——你可能拥有你一直想要的多人团队。
如果您有一个新的Oculus Quest 2头戴设备，请在开始之前进行一些研究。有很多有用的功能和设置虽然不是很明显，但会带来巨大的游戏优势。
6 Tips and Tricks for New Oculus Quest 2 Owners
When yоu first get your hands on an Oculus (now Meta) Quest 2, yoυ might be tempted to turn it on and dive into VR gaming – and there’s nothing wrong with that! If you take the time to enable a few specific settings, though, you’ll have a much better VR experience overall.
The Meta Quest 2 VR headset features multiple settings that can make it easier to use (and easier to get started gaming) for first-time users. Try these tips and tricks for new users and see whether you enjoy the headset more.
Enable Passthrough
Passthrough is a setting that lets you see through the external cameras of the headset. It paints the space around you in a sort of blurry black-and-white, but it’s significantly easier to find your controllers after putting on the headset. There are two main ways to accomplish this.
The first is to enable Passthrough Home, which does away with the default virtual environment and enables passthrough at all times except when you launch an app.
- Press the Oculus button on your right touch controller to bring up the quick menu, then select the Quick Settings icon in the lower-left corner.
- Once the Quick Settings menu appears, select the Eye icon.
- You’ll see the room around you rather than the virtual background.
The second option is to turn on Passthrough Shortcut, which lets you activate Passthrough by double-tapping the right side of the headset.
- Open the Quest menu and select Settings in the top-right corner.
- Select Guardian.
- Select the toggle to activate Double Tap for Passthrough.
Once enabled, all you have to do is double-tap the side of the headset to see where you are in the real world. It’s perfect for centering yourself in the playspace if you get too close to the guardian barrier.
Invest in Alternate Lenses
If you wear glasses (as many of us do), then the Oculus Quest 2 poses a bit of a problem. The headset is a tight fit and will often pull your glasses off when you remove the headset. There’s also the risk of scratching the internal Quest lenses (or your own glasses).
The Quest 2 internal lenses are fragile, and you have to replace the entire lens if it’s damaged. You should take extreme care to avoid harming them in any way. The included microfiber cloth is a great option for cleaning them. Just use gentle strokes and don’t press down against them.
If you want to mitigate this risk, you can purchase snap-in prescription lenses from companies like HonsVR, VR Lens Lab, and WIDMOvr. The process is simple: Just enter your prescription on the site and they’ll show up to your doorstep within a few weeks. The lenses fit magnetically onto your VR headset.
You’ll be able to play in VR without the need to wear glasses. Best of all, it adds another layer of protection on the internal lenses of the Quest, and you can even opt for features like blue light filtering and anti-glare.
Another benefit: These typically include a padded VR cover that protects your lenses from sunlight exposure when not in use.
Try Unreleased and Experimental Games Through App Lab
App Lab is a platform where designers can add in unfinished and experimental VR games. These games often leave the App Lab once they’ve been thoroughly tested, but it’s a great way to find inexpensive, wildly innovative VR experiences.
App Lab DB is a working database of all known App Lab games. It allows you to sort by popularity, age, rating, and even price. You can also search for specific titles. Some of the most well-known Quest 2 games today (like Gorilla Tag) got their start on App Lab.
Once you find a game, App Lab will take you to the download page within the Quest 2 store. Just choose to download the game and it will appear in your Quest 2 headset, assuming you’ve linked your Facebook account to the Quest store already.
Check a Game’s Comfort Level Before You Play
Every game in the Oculus store is given one of three comfort ratings: Comfortable, Moderate, or Intense.
Since virtual reality gameplay can often cause motion sickness, these ratings are important to help you discover whether a game is the right fit for you. Comfortable Games are okay for almost anyone to play, while Moderate games are okay for most players – but not all. Intense games should be avoided by those new to VR until they get the hang of it.
An example of a Comfortable game is Beat Saber, where you stand in one place and only swing your arms. An Intense game would be Gorilla Tag, where you swing your arms and propel yourself across the arena with a lot of quick movement.
You can find the Comfort Level of a game by selecting More Info in the app page of the Oculus Store.
Connect to Your PC Through Air Link or Link Cable
If you find yourself a bit limited by the library on the Oculus Store, don’t worry. You can play some of your favorite PC games thanks to the Oculus Link feature. This allows you to play PC VR and SteamVR games on your Quest 2 headset. It’s an experimental feature, but it works well – especially if you have a long USB-C cable to give you more mobility.
You can also use this feature to enable mods for your favorite VR games, like Beat Saber. Don’t overlook this setting – it gives access to some of the best VR experiences out there. We have a full guide on how to do this.
Stream Your Gameplay
Want to convince someone else to join in on the fun? You can stream your gameplay and let others see exactly what it’s like inside VR. One of the easiest ways is to simply cast your gameplay to Chromecast or something similar. You can also cast gameplay to an Apple or Android phone.
Another option is to just take screenshots of the craziest events you see while in VR. These can be shared over Facebook with your friends. Who knows – you might have that multiplayer team you’ve been wishing for.
If you have a new Oculus Quest 2 headset, do a little research before you dive in. There are a lot of helpful features and settings that aren’t immediately obvious, but will yield massive gameplay benefits.
