VR, Meta Quest 2 and Ipad

1

Hi I am trying to view a model with the meta quest 2 vr headset through my ipad.

Is this possible?

When I open the scene on the ipad there is no VR option available?

Help please.

Thanks

John

Hi @JOHN

Could you explain in more detail what would you like to do?
Do you want to stream content from iPad to Oculus?
Do you want to cast Oculus screen to iPad?

To view shapespark model in Oculus you can use built in Oculus browser.

Hi Kamil,

I want to show clients their scenes using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset.

I want to use my ipad and have this connected to the VR Headset.

Is this possible? When I open the scene now on my ipad there is no VR button showing?

Regards

John

This is not possible to accomplish directly from Shapespark.

But you can leverage the official Oculus app (meta quest) functionality to see Quest 2 headset current content (casting). I have tested this approach using iPhone but it should work the same for iPad or other mobile devices.

There are three steps involved:

  1. Send link from iPad to Quest 2
  2. Open link in Quest 2 built-in browser
  3. Use Oculus app on iPad to cast Quest 2 screen to iPad

First you should have official Oculus app installed and pair your mobile device with the Quest 2 headset. Then you should be able to send your current webpage (your scene) to Quest 2 Headset using share functionality.

“From an iPhone, the option should appear in a Share Sheet menu from within Safari or any app that can share internet links. From the menu, the user can choose Oculus to send the link to the Oculus app. Then tap the Open Now”

After sending the link to Quest 2 it should open in the built in web browser.

Then use casting option in Oculus app to connect to Quest 2 headset and see what your client is seeing currently.

Hello @ben Davis.

I do it regularly even with big models. When the models are small it’s easy because I open the link from whatsapp or mail. (Inside metaquest 3) This activates the browser in the metaquest and then I just clic the VR symbol in the menu of the shapespark tours to the right below.

When the tour is very heavy, the procedure is different but it works very well:
(Remember that metaquests can be linked to the PC with or without cable, for this process we use the possibility of linking to cable for the PC to provide processing power)

You can follow this link to install everything. https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/oculus-link/connect-with-air-link/

*remember link with cable not air link
