You Can Bring Your Real Phone With You Into VR!

In today's video, I will be showing you how to bring your actual phone with you into virtual reality. You will be able to get your phone with you to any app or game inside VR. I will show you how to do this both on Quest standalone and on PCVR. The quest standalone option will allow you to take a look at your phone without quitting the app you're playing both on quest 2 and on quest pro. The PCVR option will even let you mount your phone to your hand like a watch! You will even be able to control the phone if it's an android! This method also works to bring iPhones into VR, however, you will not be able to control them. I hope you enjoy the video :D

It seems meta has broken multitasking on the Quest 2. I'm on the latest v51 update now, and it doesn't work. It also seems to not be working for many others 🙁 Until they bring it back, the standalone version of this will only work while outside of VR apps 🙁

[@DoomRater]

This is a weird one. I as the device owner cannot use a lot of multitasking. My headmate, who has an account on my headset, can. Try making a secondary account and trying multitasking on that account to see if it works there.

[@hanktheetank]

​@DirtSandwichYT yea it's back now it seems

[@charliebaby7065]

about that. I reaaaaaally wanna multitask myself as well with my quest2. sooooo ive taken up scripting a threejs webxr page ( threejs 0.132.0 three.module.min.js currently, in this specific instance ) and i've been trying to find a way to use their css renderer, (its not going to work) BUT BUT ive got 3 s running. one with the offical css youtube threejs example (PLUS a VRButton) another with bookmarks of my project's progress and the last one is the frame the bookmarks run in. THE BEST part is, if i play the youtube vid in the css frame, then click the ARButton, i can load a vr scene, AND the music keeps going. perfect! I just can't render the css tube to see properly in the webgl renderer. today, i just noticed if i load another youtube page of mine (using their API) in the last it TOO plays along as well) THE (biggest) PROBLEM ive encountered is a horrific 11 on the volume knob, ear peircing crinkling sound glitch i guess as the two auido streams fight for portions of the audio drivers mem. i dunno. that level of in the software is beyond me. so, ive noticed that multitasking (music and a vr scene) can work. but ive also noticed perhaps a good reason as to why they put all that on pause for now. maybe. i dunno. but i figured you might find some interest in it

It’s so annoying having to take my headset off every 5 minutes to text my girlfriend. Sometimes I tell myself I’ll respond later and accidentally forget to respond for 40+ minutes. This is absolutely huge! I can’t wait to give it a try.

[@IJstWntd2WatchaVideo]

You don't need to constantly text sane girlfriends.

[@jokerzyo]

I'm surprised this isn't a built-in feature honestly

[@r.m8146]

[@travissmith5994]

I wouldn't use it if it was built by Facebook. I don't want them having unfettered access to my phone.

[@jokerzyo]

@@travissmith5994 good luck stopping them. even with out using any of their apps. Their data tracking us built in to tons of apps they don't own. Through their ads or other services the offer to other websites.

[@travissmith5994]

@@jokerzyo They do access a lot via ads, but remote control over a phone is an entirely different level of control. It's like the difference between banging your shin on something and breaking your leg - neither feels great, but one's way worse

[@jokerzyo]

@@travissmith5994 not really. Nothing of value to Facebook on my physical phone. Online activity is all they need to feed their algorithms. They don't record people's mics not because they think it's wrong, it's because it's significantly less effective than just getting your internet usage data.

[@Stennishh]

2:50 actually, you can restrict unattended access to only ids you allow (it'll ask you for a password, click on always log me in from now on, and you're set), if any other id attempts to connect, even if they know the password, they will just be denied on the spot without even asking for confirmation or denial. i've been using this method with connecting to my laptop with my phone for at least a year now and it works pretty great.

[@akitoyami4284]

This is a pretty nice tutorial. Usually i just use oculus' window pin feature while ur in the pcvr home, but having the window staying on my wrist or always locked onto a fixed position of my FOV is a much better solution (if i turn while having the pinned window, the window stays where it's at and doesn't follow me)

[@bluebell1]

Great tutorial! I personally don’t want my phone in VR but I can see why others would! Thank you!

[@prolificusgaming1824]

Bro every video I swear you bring a banger

[@jakewolph6368]

As a Samsung user I tend to use Window's Phone Link app to connect my phone to my PC. Really handy when I am in PCVR.

[@alphacompton]

I tried it a few times in 2021. I thought it was good except I'd get weird disconnects sometimes or other issues so I stopped. Have you used it recently, how is it?

[@jakewolph6368]

@@alphacompton I use it many times. It's greatly improved over the past few years.

[@Akab]

6:05 for people using older android there is an additional program for the audio which is used in pretty much the same way simultaneously with scrcpy called sndcpy 👍

[@ifur]

It would be nice if oculus can implement it like you do with keyboards. You can see the phone screen in VR and actually interact it with your hands. It should be easy to track iPhones since there aren't many.

[@LilScotty10]

Have you tried looking at a screen in pass through? Haha I can’t see shite, it’s way more than just “tracking”

[@ifur]

@@LilScotty10 totally but if it can do keyboard it should be able to do phone too

[@LilScotty10]

@@ifur that’s the things friend, the keyboard isn’t on a screen lol. A compute screen or phone screen because it produces its image with light….quests pass through isn’t good enough for that and I don’t think any software update could fix that unless it was something similar to this where your phones software was being used through the actual processing power of the headset if that makes sense. The quest pro might have a better chance with this with its improved quality, but for the current quest 2’s pass through, there is no navigating anything with an illuminated screen🥲

[@zwenkwiel816]

@@LilScotty10 think he means just mapping this digital phone screen you see in VR to your physical phone. so you can use your physical phone to move and control the virtual screen you see in VR.

[@WhiteRaven___]

i mean not really. You've been able to do this stuff on PCVR for awhile like read chat, but on standalone you still have to pause the game and then open the application.... and that's IF you can even multi task on Quest 2. Currently, I can not

@@WhiteRaven___ yes but this is standalone

[@BlackHoleForge]

It is videos like this that make me happy I subscribe to your channel. Good job

[@devincurrie4145]

That's cool. You've mentioned things that I would have never thought of trying lol

[@manp1039]

this is one of the most important things for VR users. It allows them to still keep connected with outside world when they need to. And I think this will be a huge factor for apple users when Apple releases their own VR headset. They will be able to integrate apple watch and iphones and ipads to their VR headset.. which will give lots of value. On a side note, I am wondering when we will get some wonderful AI tools to use chatGPT inside of VR. I am especially interested in how generative AI photos or videos (or even 3D spaces/sculptures) will be able created, used, and manipulated within VR. I tried creating stereoscopic 3d images with Bing's AI photo creator.. but all it would give me is red/blue 3d images and i got one side by side stereographic image. but niether image was viewable in 3d or stereographically inside of VR. AI will be able to do some amazing things in creating VR objects and spaces/worlds.

[@Beam3178]

Integration of ChatGPT-4 into VR chat as a bot would be cool. Maybe a world with an assistant that could spawn in flat or 3d objects that you describe verbally?

when he pronounced it "scriptsy" i died inside. i usually pronounce it "Screen Copy" because thats basically what the acronyms are

I found that out quite quickly when I sent the video out to my team for review 🤣 But they decided to keep it in because they though it was funny 😂

[@Stennishh]

@@TheMysticle no worries, also did you see my other comment about what you said at 2:50? edit: i forgot to use my eyes and noticed the heart on the other comment. so yes you have seen it lol

[@EricResells]

That’s awesome.

[@Gamerexde]

I use Android Emulator (crashes sometimes) or Bluestacks since if I want a phone inside VR I want it to be exclusively dedicated to VR, and only use it to interact with discord or to use the web more comfortable. Problem is that is quite heavy.

I completely agree with the whole phone in VR, I’ve wanted it myself, but what we really is our VR app interactions equivalent, you know? The ‘future’ hopefully should allow AR or VR headsets/glasses to REPLACE our phones, rather than just be a side gimmick

[@jamesbondaygee]

This is exactly what I just asked Meta Support. I look forward to seeing this. Cheers. Ok, so, I am most of the way through this tutorial. I thought it was done and then it started talking about Steam and some open developer kit. Hmm....is this necessary to access your android phone as well?

[@JayOhm]

Bonus points: Achually strap the phone to your wrist for maximum immersion! Tap the actual phone, see its screen at the same position in VR! For even more bonus points, leave the phone on your wrist after leaving VR. Pockets are so last century, it's PipBoy time!

Keep in mind that the phone casting it's screen can drain quite a bit of battery while it's doing so.

Does it keep your apps running trough the quest if you quit the phone viewing app and play games? For example, if you use discord and stream trough the oculus app via screen mirroring to discord does it keep the stream up?

[@ShroozyVR]

This video was great! I use an iPhone so, its pretty much pointless for me to have my phone with me in VR if I can’t interact with it and the thing that sucks most is that apple will most likely restrict remote access to their own headsets to keep users trapped in their ecosystem 🙄

[@adriankoch964]

Probably Apple will brag "how seamless" using your iPhone in their $4000 AR glasses will be once it's revealed later this or next year and later minions will claim that Apple invented casting your phone screen to the computer or headset.
