Khibradaha VR^(VR) ee ugu fiican ayaa weli laga helayaa kombiyuutarada leh GPU^{(GPUs )} -yada iyo CPU-yada^(CPUs) xoogga leh , taas oo badanaa macnaheedu yahay inaad isku xirto mashiinnada fiilada.

Quest Oculus^{(Oculus Quest)} wuxuu bixiyaa xal VR oo dhan-hal ah oo la awoodi karo. Iyada oo kumbiyuutarka gacanta oo buuxa lagu dhex dhisay iyo dukaankiisa App-ka, waxa kaliya oo aad soo iibsanaysaa headset-ka iyo qaar ka mid ah apps-yada oo waxa aad ciyaari kartaa qaar ka mid ah ciyaaraha VR-ga ee heersare ah iyo khibrado. 

Nasiib darro, Quest weli kuma dhowa waxqabadka kombuyutarka desktop-ka, sidaa darteed barnaamijyadeeda VR waa nooc hoos loo dhigay ee khibradda buuxda. Akhbaarta wanaagsan ayaa ah in Quest uu helay cusboonaysiin software oo loo yaqaan Oculus Link beta, kaas oo si wax ku ool ah u beddelaya Oculus Rift . Waxaan qaadnay Quest-kayaga, er, raadin si aan u aragno sida ugu wanaagsan ee xalkani u shaqeeyo marka la barbar dhigo Oculus Rift dhabta ah .

Waa maxay headsets isticmaali karaan Oculus Link Beta?^{(What Headsets Can Use Oculus Link Beta?)}

Kahor intaanan sii socon, waxaa loo baahan yahay in la yiraahdo Oculus Quest waa madaxa madaxa VR ee kaliya ee ka shaqeeya Oculus kaas oo sidoo kale u shaqeyn kara sidii ^{(only )}Rift . Nasiib darrose, Oculus Go -ga la awoodi karo ma bixiyo sifadan.

Xaqiiqda arrintu waxay tahay in Go-gu uu si fudud uga maqan yahay raadinta-dhamaadka sare ee raadraaca loo baahan yahay si looga saaro waxa codsiyada PC VR u baahan yihiin. Marka, hadda, kaliya jiilka kowaad ee Oculus Quest wuxuu la shaqeeyaa shaqeynta Oculus Link beta.

Fiilkee baan Isticmaalaa?^{(Which Cable Should I Use?)}

Si aad u isticmaasho Oculus Link beta, waxaad u baahan tahay fiilo^(cable) si aad ugu xidho dhegahaaga kombayutarkaaga. Bilawgii, fiilooyinka kaliya ee la xaqiijiyay inay shaqeeyaan waxay ahaayeen USB 3.0 ama fiilooyinka ka wanaagsan.

Kuwaani waxay yeelan karaan isku xirka USB C ilaa USB C , ama USB A ilaa USB C , taasoo ku xidhan nooca dekedaha uu kombuyuutarku leeyahay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dhawaan, shirkaddu waxay muujisay in fiilooyinka USB 2.0 ay sidoo kale shaqeyn doonaan. Kaas oo ay ku jiraan fiilada dheer ee USB 2.0 ee ku dallacaadda sanduuqa.

Oculus wuxuu ku talinayaa ugu yaraan fiilo 3m ah si loo helo khibrad wanaagsan. Waxay qorsheynayaan inay bixiyaan fiilada Oculus Link ee rasmiga ah oo adeegsata fiilada fiber optic 5m. App - ka Oculus waxaa ku jira tijaabiye fiilada kaasoo tilmaamaya in fiilada aad hadda ku xirtay uu si degdeg ah ku filan yahay iyo in kale, taasoo sahlaysa in la ogaado haddii arrimaha laga yaabo inaad qabto ay ku jiraan fiilada lafteeda ama shay kale.

Taladayadu waa in aad marka hore tijaabiso fiilooyinka ku habboon ee aad hore u haysatid, adiga oo u malaynaya in ay ku filan yihiin. Kaliya iska hubi inaad cusboonaysiiso Quest kaaga iyo software-ka Oculus ee kombayutarkaaga oo aad u rogto nooca ugu dambeeya marka hore.

Haddii aadan haysan fiilada (oo aadan rabin inaad ku kharash gareyso in ka badan $79 helitaanka kan rasmiga ah ) ka dibna raadi fiilada ^{(official one)}USB 3m oo tayo sare leh oo ah calaamad sumcad leh. Waxaan isticmaalnay fiilada Anker USB 3 oo leh xiriiriyaha nooca A ilaa nooca C.^{(Type C)}

Fadlan xusuusnow in fiilada aysan ahayn qodobka kaliya ee halkan ku ciyaaraya, kontoroolka USB- gaaga ama fiilooyinka madaxa ayaa sidoo kale noqon kara kuwo aan socon karin. Isku day in aad isticmaasho dekedaha USB Motherboard-ka laftiisa halkii aad ka isticmaali lahayd kuwa la dheereeyey ee dhinaca hore ee kiiskaaga.

Maxaa ka shaqeeya Oculus Link^{(What Works With Oculus Link)} Beta

Marka la eego waafaqid Software -ka uma muuqato wax aan ka shaqayn Oculus Link beta kaas oo la shaqeeya Rift -ga caadiga ah . La yaab ma leh wax kasta oo aan isku daynay dukaanka Oculus Rift ayaa si fiican u shaqeeyay. ^{(Oculus Rift)}Dhab ahaantii, marka la barbar dhigo qaabka asalka ah ee macmiilka Rift ee aan isticmaalnay, waa waayo-aragnimo heersare ah iyada oo ay ugu wacan tahay raadraaca horumarsan, optics iyo shaashadaha ee Quest .

Isla sidaas oo kale ayaa loogu talagalay SteamVR . Waxaan kor u qaadnay Half Life Alyx -ga ugu sarreeya wuxuuna ku orday dhib la'aan. Ma jirin wax dib u dhac ah, ma jiraan arrimo ku saabsan kontaroolayaasha Oculus Touch ama wax kale oo wax u dhimaya khibradda ciyaarta.

Waxaan u isticmaalnay fiilada Anker USB 3 ee aan soo sheegnay mid ka mid ah xayndaabyada USB 3 ee hore ee kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada wuxuuna ku gudbay midabyo duulaya.

Tijaabada^{(The Testbed)}

Isagoo ka hadlaya habaynta kombuyuutarkeena, mishiinkan is-hoosaysiiya wuxuu isticmaalaa Intel 4690K oo ku xiran 4Ghz go'an, 16GB ee DDR1600 RAM iyo 6GB RTX 2060. GPU -gan gaarka ah maaha mid ka mid ah moodooyinka lagu dhisay VR-gaar ah USB C^{(VR-specific USB C)} deked, laakiin waxaan qiyaasi karnaa inay taasi tahay doorashada ugu fiican haddii la heli karo.

Haddi aanad waligaa ka fikirin kombayutarkaga markaad iibsanayso Quest kaaga , waxaad ku farxi doontaa inaad ogaato in qeexitaannada ugu yar aanay u cuslayn sida aad u malaynayso. I3 6100, 8GB oo RAM ah^(RAM) iyo GTX 1050Ti ama wax u dhigma ayaa albaabka kaa gelin doona. Waxaad ogaan doontaa in kombiyuutaro badan oo dhexdhexaad ah maalmahan ay buuxinayaan shuruudaha aasaasiga ah. Markaa haddii aad hore u lahayd Quest dhib kuguma yeelanayso inaad isku daydo kumbuyuutar kasta oo aad haysato.

Waxaa muhiim ah in la ogaado in, waqtiga qorista, Oculus Link ma taageerto wax AMD GPUs . Oculus waxay ka shaqaynaysaa inay taageerto qalabka ugu badan ee suurtogalka ah, laakiin Oculus Link beta ee xaaladdeeda hadda, waxaa weli jira shaqo badan oo loo baahan yahay in lagu sameeyo darawalada AMD ka hor intaanay u oggolaan dadweynaha.

Dejinta Xiriirinta Oculus^{(Setting Up Oculus Link)}

Haddii aad u malaynayso in habayntiisa sanduuqa-ka-baxsan ee Quest - kaagu uu dhammaystiran yahay, helitaanka Oculus Link- ga iyo socodsiinta waxay ahayd neecaw. Waxa kaliya ee aan sameynay waa in aan ku rakibno app-ka Oculus kombayutarkeena^(Oculus) oo aan ku galno isla akoonkii loo adeegsaday Quest -kayaga . Dabadeed, adigoo u malaynaya in Quest -kaagu uu cusub yahay, si fudud cidhifka fiilada ku xidhi kombayutarka kan kalena Quest . 

Markaa si fudud u dheh haa wax kasta oo Oculus Quest ah oo ku soo dada kombayutarka ama sameecadda lafteeda. Marka la sameeyo isku xirka Quest^{(Quest Link)} , waa inaad bilowdaa ciyaarta Oculus ama SteamVR si la mid ah sida loo sameeyo Rift .

Khibradda Xiriirinta Oculus^{(The Oculus Link Experience)}

Sidaan horey u soo sheegnay, waxqabadka ciyaarta ciyaarta, daacadnimada iyo dabagalka ayaa dhamaantood si aan cillad lahayn noogu shaqeeyay. Oculus wuxuu qabtay shaqo aad u wanaagsan oo ka dhigaysa Quest/Rift kala-guurka mid aan kala go 'lahayn. Waxaad ka bixi kartaa habka isku xidhka^(Link) oo aad dib ugu noqotid qalabka Quest ee u gaarka ah wakhti kasta adiga oo riixaya badhanka.

Sidoo kale, nidaamka raadraaca cajiibka ah ee Quest 's wuxuu u shaqeeyay si la mid ah hadday tahay Link ama qaabka Quest . Dhammaan ciyaaraha Oculus , Steam iyo Epic Games Store oo leh qaababka VR ayaa noo shaqeeyay.

Fursadaha Wireless^{(Wireless Possibilities)}

Mid ka mid ah waxyaabaha ugu waaweyn ee Quest -ku leeyahay waa dabeecaddiisa silig-la'aanta, laakiin nasiib darrose waxay ka maqan tahay oomph in PC-ga wanaagsan ee VR-ka u leh uu leeyahay. Xidhiidhku^(Link) wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad la kulanto noocyada ugu sarreeya ee abka badan ee Quest iyo sidoo kale abka u gaarka ah Rift . Si kastaba ha noqotee, waa inaad ka tanaasushaa xorriyadda wireless-ka. Haddii aad soo iibsato qalabka dhegaha lagu dhegeysto sida Valve Index oo leh ikhtiyaar wireless, waxaad haysan kartaa PC VR fiilooyinka la'aanteed. Ilaa inta aad ku jirto xadka. 

Quest ma laha nooca rasmiga ah ee kan, laakiin bulshadu waxay^(community) abuurtay xal daahsoon si loogu helo PC VR ^{(PC VR)}Quest bilaa^(Quest) wireless. Ma aanan tijaabin mana ku talineyno in dadka badankiis ay sameeyaan, laakiin waxay muujineysaa in Oculus uu, aragti ahaan, horumarin karo cusboonaysiin mustaqbalka ama wax ku kordhin kara kaas oo runtii u rogi doona raadinta^(Quest) "wax walba samee" VR madaxeeda mar hore (ku dhawaad) waa.

Oculus Link Hands-On Review: Better Than Beta

The very best VR experiences are still to be found on computers with powerful GPUs and CPUs, which usually means tethering yourself to the machine with a cable.

The Oculus Quest offers an affordable all-in-one VR solution. With a full mobile computer built into it and its own app store, you just buy the headset and some apps and can play some pretty high-end VR games and experiences. 

Unfortunately, the Quest is still nowhere near desktop computer performance, and so its VR apps are a somewhat downgraded version of the full experience. The good news is that Quest received a software update known as Oculus Link beta, which effectively turns it into an Oculus Rift. We took our Quest on, er, a quest to see how well this solution works compared to a real Oculus Rift.

What Headsets Can Use Oculus Link Beta?

Before we go any further, it needs to be said that the Oculus Quest is the only standalone VR headset from Oculus that can also work as a Rift. Sadly, the affordable Oculus Go doesn’t offer this feature.

The fact of the matter is that the Go simply lacks the high-end spatial tracking needed to pull off what PC VR applications need. So, for now, only the first-generation Oculus Quest works with the Oculus Link beta functionality.

Which Cable Should I Use?

In order to use Oculus Link beta, you need a cable to connect your headset to your computer. At the outset, the only cables that were certified to work were USB 3.0 or better cables.

These could either have a USB C to USB C connection, or USB A to USB C, depending on the type of ports your computer has. Recently however, the company has indicated that USB 2.0 cables will also work. Which includes the long USB 2.0 charging cable included in the box.

Oculus recommends at least a 3m cable to get a good experience. They are planning on offering an official Oculus Link cable that uses a 5m fiber optic cable. The Oculus app includes a cable tester that will indicate whether the cable you currently have plugged in is fast enough or not, making it easy to know if issues you may have are with the cable itself or something else.

Our recommendation is to first try any potentially compatible cables you already have, assuming they are long enough. Just be sure to update your Quest and the Oculus software on your computer to the latest version first.

If you don’t have a cable (and don’t want to spend over $79 getting the official one) then look for any high-quality 3m USB cable from a reputable brand. We used an Anker USB 3 cable with a Type A to Type C connector.

Please remember that the cable is not the only factor in play here, your USB controller or header cables could also be incompatible. Try using USB ports on the motherboard itself rather than extended ones on your case’s front panel.

What Works With Oculus Link Beta

In terms of Software compatibility there doesn’t seem to be anything that doesn’t work with Oculus Link beta that does work with a regular Rift. Unsurprisingly everything we tried in the Oculus Rift store worked perfectly. In fact, compared to the original consumer Rift model we’ve been using, it’s a superior experience thanks to the advanced tracking, optics and screens in the Quest.

The same goes for SteamVR. We booted up the superlative Half Life Alyx and it ran without a hitch. There was no lag, no issues with the Oculus Touch controllers or anything else that would detract from the gameplay experience.

We used the aforementioned Anker USB 3 cable from one of the front USB 3 panels on our test computer and it passed with flying colors.

The Testbed

Speaking of our computer setup, this humble machine uses an Intel 4690K clocked at a fixed 4Ghz, 16GB of DDR1600 RAM and a 6GB RTX 2060. This particular GPU is not one of the models that has a built in VR-specific USB C port, but we’d imagine that’s the best option if available.

If you’ve never considered your PC when buying your Quest, you’ll be pleased to know that minimum specifications aren’t as heavy as you might think. An i3 6100, 8GB of RAM and GTX 1050Ti or their equivalents will get you in the door. You’ll find that plenty of mid-range computers these days meet the basic requirements. So if you already have a Quest it won’t hurt to try with whatever computer you do have.

It’s important to note that, at the time of writing, Oculus Link does not support any AMD GPUs. Oculus are working to support as much hardware as possible, but for the Oculus Link beta in its current state, there’s still plenty of work that needs to be done with AMD’s drivers before they can let it out to the public.

Setting Up Oculus Link

Assuming that your Quest’s own out-of-the-box setup is complete, getting Oculus Link up and running was a breeze. All we had to do was install the Oculus app on our computer and log in with the same account used with our Quest. Then, assuming that your Quest is up to date, simply plug the one end of the cable into the computer and the other into the Quest. 

Then simply say yes to any Oculus Quest prompts on the computer or the headset itself. Once the Quest Link is established, you just have to launch an Oculus or SteamVR game just as you would with a Rift.

The Oculus Link Experience

As we’ve already mentioned, gameplay performance, fidelity and tracking all worked flawlessly for us. Oculus have done a great job of making the Quest/Rift transition seamless. You can drop out from Link mode back to the Quest’s own hardware at any time with the press of a button.

Likewise, the Quests’ amazing inside-out tracking system worked just the same whether in Link or Quest mode. All the games in the Oculus, Steam and Epic Games Store with VR modes worked for us.

Wireless Possibilities

One of the greatest strengths of the Quest is its wire-free nature, but sadly it lacks the oomph that a good VR-capable PC has. Link lets you experience the high-end versions of many Quest apps as well as apps that are exclusive to the Rift. However, you have to give up the wireless freedom. If you buy a headset like the Valve Index with a wireless option, you can have PC VR without the wires. As long as you’re within range. 

The Quest doesn’t have an official version of this, but the community has created a low-latency solution to get PC VR on a Quest wirelessly. We haven’t tried it and don’t recommend that most people do, but it does show that Oculus could, in theory, develop a future update or add-on that would really turn the Quest into the “do everything” VR headset it already (nearly) is.
