One of my tips is that the ceiling is as important as the floor. Rooms with a very low ceiling are potentially more dangerous than walls because walls have a warning (gaurdiaj system) but there are no warnings stopping you from slamming your controller into the ceiling.

[@shanecoffing]

[@brucebaker8844]

My tip is when you trace out your guardian, draw a notch or bump in the direction you prefer to face that way you can reorient yourself by just reaching out to see your guardian. That way you don’t accidentally smash you controller into you wall or desk. Or now days you can trace a danger as “bring your couch into VR” I do it so I know where I can put my controllers down.

My personal tips are these: 1. Night mode is easier on your eyes so turn it on if you’re experiencing eye strain 2. I can get kind of motion sick after playing VRChat for a long time if I’m only using the controls to turn around. Whenever you are standing up while playing always turn around physically if you want to turn in game as it helps a LOT with motion sickness

i've been struggling with motion sickness so badly with my oculus!! do you have any tips for avoiding/preventing it?

[@tasmanwinchcombe9774]

@@boogeraids1905 What kind of movement makes you nauseous? I get motion sick playing games where you use the joystick to move, however in a free hack-n-slash game called battle talent, they have you swing your arms like your jogging in order to sprint, and that makes me less nauseous because it feels more like I'm moving. I also like a game called tea for god, as it allows you to explore the game world without using joysticks at all using impossible spaces (commonly refered to as non-euclidian spaces).

[@boogeraids1905]

@@tasmanwinchcombe9774 i'll have to try those games, and yes! it's the joystick movement that makes me nauseous. first day i got my vr i tried to play a couple games that used those controls and i had to get off after not even 20 minutes

[@applesnider6856]

@booger aids definitely try to stay away from joystick movement. Try to see if the games that are causing motion sickness have an option for teleport movement, I've found it to be much better. You can also get used to joystick movement the more you play it, you just would have to play it in 10-20min intervals.

Oculus quest 2 is absolutely brilliant. It may be limited due to the smaller number of games, but it’s ridiculously easy to set up. When I had the rift S, it used to take me nearly an hour to set the stupid piece of trash up.

Tip: Just to be safe It’s a good idea to use a lens cover when not using your quest. I found that the card that was packaged with the quest 2 to cover the lenses works quite well.

[@ReotteCetelle]

My top tips: Have stuff around that still connects you to real life, it helps a lot for motion sickness in the beginning. For example; - A mini carpet that is different texture than floor around it under you (also helps you to know where you are in the room) - A fan that is blowing a little breeze (also helps you to know which direction you are facing) - A smart band/watch that can give you notifications through phone (You time it 1-2 hours depending on your wants and it vibrate every 2 hours so you give a little break)

I've been using the standard foam face cover for about 2 years and it's absolutely fine. I just wash it every few play sessions and it has never bothered me and I find it more comfortable than a silicone cover. I put a little bit of dish soap in a bowl of warm water, submerge the face cover (detached from headset of course), and squeeze the soapy water in and out of the sponge, rinse, dry, and its good to go. The instructions on the face cover say not to wash it with soap, but again, I have been doing this for about 2 years without issue. Edit: I also have the elite strap (purchased after they changed the manufacturing) and it has not broken after about 1.5 years of use. Love the extra battery life.

Great tip. This was a game changer. I have to have a fan going now

[@WendyMoule]

Headset fan is my number one best buy tip. I had no end of trouble with foggy glasses ruining my fun. Next tip would be a charging station. Keeps your kit safe and charges when at home. The one I bought came with rechargeable batteries for the controllers.

I'll definitely have to keep in mind about the 20% battery thing I have the extended battery elite strap and I still end up playing some sessions till it forces me off

Thanks for the video. I think many people don't realize, that the sun might reach the Quest during the day when you put it opn the table in the evening. Those little lens covers are about 8€ (totally overpriced imo) but totally worth it if you imagine what coul happen to your Quest 2. Maybe one day Meta will add those for free. Just like the a silicone cover. Last week my Quest 2 came with an original silicone cover for the "sponge". So they upgraded it?!?

[@MichaelJohnson-nj6pc]

A good tip if you want a little extra surround sound without headphones is to put a hood over your head whilst using the headset so it cups around the sound straps and it will add a little more surround sound to your experience (especially if its a tighter hoodie rather than an open hoodie) also to prevent hitting objects around your room, leave a little extra space with your guardian border. Also one last tip, something I found useful when in a small room was to use the "Couch Guardian" as an indication of where an object might be in your surrounding that you cannot see within your stationary guardian. Say for instance, a corner of a wall, or desk, simply place the couch or desk guardian around that area so when you are playing you won't hit it because you will know where it will be

[@JETJOOBOY]

I tried strapping egg boxes to my ears but I can't seem to recreate the 400% improvement I get when I simply cup my hands over my ears... Which makes no sense as the speakers are further forward... Surely someone wi design "A Thing" that will help with this..

Quest 2 tip, when cleaning your lenses, never use a tissue or shirt like I first did, this can give your lens micro-abrasions and/or scratches and so its always better to stay safe and use a microfibre lens cloth. Stay safe :)

Giveaway tip: if you have a small bedroom draw the guardian over your bed and draw little spikes where there's a wall to differentiate the bed from the wall, leaving you much more immersed as you wont have to worry about hitting anything because you can just do everything over your bed and only sometimes face the wall

[@thesquadgachatuber4738]

[@Lethal15420]

I do something similar like make one or two of the corners of my boundry misshapen or put a little tab where facing forward is to help orientate myself so I'm not turned the wrong way. I have to play in small spaces sometimes and would rather not punch a monitor, tv, 3d printers, etc. Also putting "markers" in the boundrys outline help with finding my table for drinks :)

It's crazy how you really don't need to wear glasses to play in most cases. I find that wearing glasses usually makes my head hurt and makes it hard to get the lenses in the right position to for proper viewing.

[@gerGoPrint3D]

Here is my tip (for giveaway): Do not keep the headset charged to 100%. You briefly mentioned this at 8:32 but this is as important as not letting it drain completely! Keep it charged to 60-80% and use an external battery that provides 1A power. 1 amps is important, since faster chargers will quickly charge to 100% which is bad. 1 amps is exactly what the OQ2 uses, so as long as the external battery is attached it will stay at the same 60-80% charge level, which is the best for its lifespan! You can find background info at Accubattery website.

[@grizzlybear9522]

i heard many people say this, but i really cant keep watch of my quest to be allways 20-80%, lets say i allways drain it and allways get it to 100% around twice a day, what will its state be in a year, it cant be that bad no ?

[@gerGoPrint3D]

@@grizzlybear9522 It's easy. Charge the headset to 60% and connect the 1A output powerbank when you are playing. The powerbank will get drained the headset will stay at 60%. You won't have to charge the headset ever again. When you are done playing, unplug the powerbank and charge it. That's it: your Quest is constantly at 60% and you are only using your power bank. If you want to play 10 hours a day, just get 2-3 powerbanks at $13 each.
