Airplane Mode on Meta Quest: Tested and Reviewed | VR

[@lurgan34]

I travel a lot and work in the VR/AR industry. My “go to” for long haul flights is an old Oculus Go. Superb for watching movies and can be picked up quite cheaply on ebay. We’ve also started using the newer Pico G3 for some of our software and they have the higher 4k res screens. Both are 3DoF headsets which are much better suited to watching TV/Videos on the go because of the simplified controls (single small controller rather than 2 x bulky controller or waving your hands around). My tip, is to watch in one of the cinema type rooms. Sitting in economy, but looking round an empty cinema gives a real sense of space.

This is a great use case for vr. Did you get any strange looks?

How did you download your shows and movies? I can’t find a way on my quest 3

@@pointmaker8833 I have my own library of moves and shows on my computer…. So I connected my headset to my computer via usb-c cable and copied my movies to the movie folder in the Meta headset… hope that helps… Thanks
