Oculus Quest 2 wuxuu^{(Oculus Quest 2)} noqon karaa madax - madaxeedka VR ee taagan, laakiin sidoo kale waxaad u isticmaali kartaa kumbuyuutar si la mid ah Oculus Rift . Uma baahnid inaad ku dhegganaato maktabadda Oculus VR midkood; ^{(Oculus VR)}waxaad sidoo kale ciyaari kartaa ciyaaraha SteamVR adoo isticmaalaya Quest 2! 

Oh, iyo haddii aad weli haysato Questkii asalka ahaa^{(original Quest)} , macluumaadkani adigana adigay ku khuseeyaan.

Waa maxay SteamVR?

Waxaa jira dhowr Virtual Reality APIs (application programmer interface) iyo SDKs (xirmooyinka horumarinta software) ee VR ee kombayutarada^(PCs) . SteamVR waa heerka ay isticmaalaan macmiilka Steam iyo ciyaaraha VR ee ku dhex shaqeeya. SteamVR sidoo kale waxay u shaqeysaa sidii deegaan u gaar ah. Waxaad helaysaa qol toosan oo SteamVR ah halkaas oo aad ku bilaabi karto ciyaaraha oo aad haddii kale u habayn karto habaynta VR-gaaga sidaad rabto.

Tani aad ayey u fiican tahay haddii aad isticmaalayso madaxa-madaxeedka SteamVR sida Valve Index , laakiin Quest 2 waxay isticmaashaa Oculus API iyo SDK iska leh . Markaa gabi ahaanba ma fahmayso ciyaaraha SteamVR . Akhbaarta wanaagsan ayaa ah in Valve iyo Oculus labaduba ay sameeyeen dadaal ay ku caawinayaan Oculus Quest 2 (iyo madax-madaxeedyada kale ee Oculus ) inay si fiican ula ciyaaraan SteamVR .

Asal ahaan waxa dhacaya waa in haddii aad bilowdo ciyaarta SteamVR oo ^(SteamVR)Oculus kaaga ku xidhan yahay, waxay ogaan doontaa dhegaha-dhegaha, labada API-na^(APIs) way isu turjumi doonaan dhexdooda. Ciyaaraha SteamVR^(SteamVR) waxay u malaynayaan in Oculusagu^(Oculus) yahay madaxa dhegaha ee SteamVR , iyo, aragti ahaan, adigu ma ahaan doontid kuwa caqli badan. Si ay tani u shaqeyso, waxa soo socdaa waa in ay jiraan:

• Kumbiyuutarkaaga karti u leh VR^{(VR-capable computer)} .
• Quest Oculus 2^{(Oculus Quest 2)} .
• Software -ka Quest^{(Quest software)} waxa lagu rakibay kumbuyuutarkaaga Windows .
• Quest 2 waxaa lagu dejiyay software-keeda asalka ah ee Windows .
• USB 2.0 ( doorbidayaa 3.0 ama 3.1) USB-C fiilada si loogu xidho Quest iyada oo loo marayo Xiriirinta Oculus^{(Oculus Link)} .
• Haddii kale, waxaad u baahan tahay 5Ghz WiFi si aad u isticmaasho (hadda) tijaabada Oculus Air Link .
• Steam iyo SteamVR ayaa lagu rakibay kombiyuutarka.
• Qaar ka mid ah ciyaaraha SteamVR, sida Half-Life Alyx.

Aan ku bilowno dhinaca Oculus Quest ee isla'egta.

Ku rakib Quest 2 PC gaaga

Waxay u badan tahay inaad horeyba u dejisay Quest 2-kaaga kumbuyuutarka oo aad xitaa ciyaartay dhowr ciyaarood, laakiin haddii aadan weli gaarin, waa inaad ka soo dejisan kartaa software-ka Oculus shabakadooda oo aad rakibto. Marka aad rakibto, waxa aad u baahan tahay oo kaliya in aad ku xidhid kombayutarkaga inta software-ku shaqaynayo oo raac tilmaamaha. Iyadoo loo maleynayo in wax walba ay u socdaan sidii ay ahayd halkan, tallaabada xigta waa in la daboolo qaybta SteamVR ee halxiraalaha.

Hubi in SteamVR la rakibay

Waxaan u maleyneynaa inaad ogtahay inaad ku qasban tahay inaad ku rakibto Steam haddii aad rabto inaad ciyaarto ciyaaraha SteamVR , iyada oo aan loo eegin madax-madaxeedka aad haysato. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, SteamVR laguma rakibin Steam si caadi ah.

Haddii aad hore u rakibtay ciyaarta SteamVR , markaa software-ka SteamVR waxay ahayd in si toos ah loo rakibo . ^(SteamVR)Kaliya^(Simply) ka raadi maktabadaada Steam " SteamVR ." Waxaad ka heli kartaa dukaanka^(store) si la mid ah codsiyada kale ee Steam haddii uusan halkaas joogin.

Iyadoo labadaba Oculus Software , SteamVR , iyo ugu yaraan hal ciyaar SteamVR la rakibay, aan aragno sida loo ciyaaro.

Habka 1: Ka Bilow Ciyaarta Guriga Oculus^{(Game From Oculus Home)}

Haddii aad ka soo bilaabayso deegaanka Oculus Home , hoos u eeg dashboard-ka wareeggiisa hoose oo taabo astaanta u eg kormeeraha kombayutarka. Tani waxay keenaysaa desktop-kaaga booska farsamada. Xakameeyaha dhaqdhaqaaqaagu wuxuu u dhaqmi doonaa sidii jiir, laakiin sidoo kale waxaad isticmaali kartaa jiirkaaga caadiga ah. 

Fur Steam , ka dibna fur ciyaarta SteamVR ee aad dooratay. Haddii tani ay tahay markii ugu horeysay ee aad socodsiiso midkood SteamVR ama ciyaarta, waxaa jiri kara habayn dheeri ah oo lagu sameeyo, laakiin waa inaad si toos ah u bilowdo ciyaarta marka taas la sameeyo.

Habka 2: Ka bilow ciyaarta SteamVR Home^{(Game From SteamVR Home)}

Halkii aad ciyaarta si toos ah uga bilaabi lahayd, waxaad ku furi kartaa desktop-kaaga software-ka Oculus ee kor lagu sharaxay oo waxaad bilaabi kartaa SteamVR^(SteamVR) codsi u gaar ah. Tani waxay kuu wareejin doontaa jawiga guriga SteamVR . Halkan, waxaad ka bilaabi kartaa dhammaan ciyaaraha  SteamVR .

Waxa kale oo waxtar leh haddii aad rabto in aad wax ka beddesho goobaha VR caalamiga ah ee dhammaan ciyaaraha SteamVR ka hor inta aanad furin ciyaarta lafteeda.

Habka 3: Kaliya ka bilow ciyaarta Steam^{(Game From Steam)}

Haddii aad ku xidho madaxa dhegaha, waxa aad ku bilaabi kartaa ciyaarta SteamVR ee Steam ka hor inta aanad xidhin madaxa dhegaha. Marka aad gashato sameecadaada, waa in ay si toos ah ciyaarta u gelisaa.

Silig ama Wireless?

Quest 2 waxa uu leeyahay sifo lagu magacaabo Oculus Link . Tani waa tignoolajiyada ay isticmaasho si ay ugu dhaqanto sidii madax-madaxeed xidhan. Oculus Link wuxuu u baahan yahay ugu yaraan USB 2.0 USB-C, laakiin waa inaad ku isticmaashaa USB 3.0 ama fiilada ka sii fiican haddii ay suurtagal tahay. Dabcan, dekeddu sidoo kale waa inay noqotaa USB 3.0 . Tani waxay xaqiijin doontaa xasillooni dheeri ah iyo tayada muuqaalka wanaagsan.

Waqtiga qorista, waxa kale oo aad haysataa ikhtiyaarka ah in aad isticmaasho Oculus Air Link . Kani waa nooca wireless-ka ee Oculus Link wuxuuna kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ciyaarto ciyaaraha PC-gaaga VR sidii adigoo ku xidhan kombayutarka. Waa inaad isticmaashaa sifadan oo kaliya 5Ghz router oo u dhaw Quest 2 . Sida la doorbidayo, kombayutarkaagu waa in lagu xidhaa router-ka iyadoo la isticmaalayo Ethernet , iyada oo kaliya xidhiidhka madax-madaxeedka uu yahay wireless.

Ku ciyaarista isku xirka hawada^{(Air Link)} (oo aad u baahan tahay inaad awood u siiso sifada tijaabada ah ee goobaha Quest 2) ayaa aad uga sii xorowda iyo quusta marka loo eego in fiilada lagu xidho. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay kuxirantahay in lahelo shuruudo shabakadeed oo kufiican oo aan ku haboonayn tayada sawirka iyo daahitaanka saxda ah ee isticmaalka fiilada. 

Waxa jira beddelka dhinac saddexaad ee Air Link sidoo kale, ilaa hadda, waxaan ku helnay nasiib aad uga wanaagsan iyada marka loo eego tijaabada isku xirka Air Link^{(Air Link)} . Waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad iibsato $20 Virtual Desktop App , laakiin aan taas ahayn, waa shiraac siman.

Lahaanshaha Dhibaatooyin Waxqabad?

In kasta oo aan ogaanay in isku xidhka kala qaybinta Oculus-SteamVR ay tahay waayo-aragnimo sahlan, mararka qaarkood arrimuhu way khaldan yihiin. Ciyaaraha Oculus^(Oculus) VR ee laga ciyaaro software-ka Oculus waa kuwo aan cillad lahayn, oo xannibaya qaar ka mid ah dhibaatooyinka aan la xiriirin, laakiin mararka qaarkood nooca SteamVR ee isla ciyaarta ayaa leh arrimo wax qabad.

Haddii aad leedahay wax doorasho ah gabi ahaanba, badanaa way fiican tahay inaad iibsato nooca Oculus ee ciyaarta haddii ay ku taal labada goobood. Haddii ay tahay ciyaarta SteamVR-kaliya, iska hubi in aad wado noocii ugu dambeeyay ee dhammaan software-ka ku lug leh. 

Waxa kale oo ay mudan tahay inaad hubiso dejimaha SteamVR marka aad ku jirto deegaanka guriga SteamVR . Waxaa jiray xaalado uu macmiilka SteamVR dejiyo xallinta ama dejinta dhegaha-dhegaha kale oo aad uga sarreeya GPU -ga madaxa madaxa ee Oculus .

How To Play SteamVR Games on Oculus Quest 2

The Oculus Quest 2 might be a standalone VR headset, but you can also use it with a computer the same way as an Oculus Rift. You don’t have to stick to the Oculus VR library either; you can also play SteamVR games using your Quest 2! 

Oh, and if you still have the original Quest, this information applies to you too.

What Is SteamVR?

There are several Virtual Reality APIs (application programmer interface) and SDKs (software development kits) for VR on PCs. SteamVR is the standard used by the Steam client and VR games that run in it. SteamVR also runs as its own environment. You get a SteamVR virtual room where you can launch games and otherwise tweak your VR settings as you please.

This is great if you’re using a SteamVR-native headset like the Valve Index, but the Quest 2 uses a proprietary Oculus API and SDK. So it doesn’t understand SteamVR games at all. The good news is that both Valve and Oculus have made efforts to help the Oculus Quest 2 (and other Oculus headsets) play nice with SteamVR.

Essentially what happens is that if you launch a SteamVR game with your Oculus plugged in, it will detect the headset, and the two APIs will translate between themselves. SteamVR games will think your Oculus is a SteamVR headset, and, in theory, you’ll be none the wiser. For this to work, the following has to be in place:

• Your VR-capable computer.
• An Oculus Quest 2.
• The Quest software is installed on your Windows computer.
• Your Quest 2 is set up and with its native software in Windows.
• A USB 2.0 (preferably 3.0 or 3.1) USB-C cable to connect the Quest via Oculus Link.
• Alternatively, you need 5Ghz WiFi to use the (currently) experimental Oculus Air Link feature.
• Steam and SteamVR are installed on the computer.
• Some SteamVR games, such as Half-Life Alyx.

Let’s start with the Oculus Quest side of the equation.

Get Your Quest 2 Set Up on Your PC

You’ve probably already set up your Quest 2 with your computer and have even played a few games, but in case you haven’t yet, you’ll have to download the Oculus software from their website and install it. Once you’ve installed it, you just need to plug it into your computer while the software is running and follow the instructions. Assuming everything goes as it should here, the next step is to cover the SteamVR part of the puzzle.

Make Sure SteamVR Is Installed

We assume you know that you’ll have to install Steam if you want to play SteamVR games, regardless of which headset you have. However, SteamVR isn’t installed with Steam by default.

If you’ve already installed a SteamVR game, then the SteamVR software should have been installed automatically. Simply search your Steam library for “SteamVR.” You can find it in the store just like any other Steam application if it isn’t there.

With both the Oculus Software, SteamVR, and at least one SteamVR game installed, let’s see how to play it.

Method 1: Launch the Game From Oculus Home

If you’re starting from the Oculus Home environment, look down at the semi-circular dashboard and press the icon that looks like a computer monitor. This will bring your desktop into the virtual space. Your motion controller will act as a mouse, but you can also use your regular mouse. 

Open Steam, then open the SteamVR game of your choice. If this is the first time you’re running either SteamVR or the game, there may be some additional setup to perform, but you should launch directly into the game once that’s done.

Method 2: Launch the Game From SteamVR Home

Instead of starting the game directly, you can open your desktop in the Oculus software described above and launch SteamVR as its own application. This will shift you over into the SteamVR home environment. From here, you can launch all your SteamVR games. 

It’s also helpful if you want to tweak universal VR settings for all SteamVR games before opening the game itself.

Method 3: Just Launch the Game From Steam

If you plugged in the headset, you could just launch the SteamVR game in Steam before putting the headset on. When you put on your headset, it should put you straight into the game.

Wired or Wireless?

The Quest 2 has a feature called Oculus Link. This is the technology it uses to act as a tethered headset. Oculus Link needs at least a USB 2.0 USB-C cable, but you should use it with a USB 3.0 or a better cable if possible. Of course, the port should also be USB 3.0. This will ensure more stability and better image quality.

At the time of writing, you also have the option of using Oculus Air Link. This is a wireless version of Oculus Link and lets you play your PC VR games as if you’re tethered to the computer. You should only use this feature with a 5Ghz router in close range to the Quest 2. Preferably, your computer should be connected to the router using Ethernet, with only the link to the headset being wireless.

Playing with Air Link (which you need to enable under the experimental features in your Quest 2 settings) is much more freeing and immersive than being tethered by a cable. However, it depends on having ideal network conditions and won’t match the image quality and exact latency of using the cable. 

There’s a third-party alternative to Air Link as well and, so far, we’ve had much better luck with it than the experimental Air Link solution. You’ll need to buy the $20 Virtual Desktop App, but other than that, it’s smooth sailing. Have a look at How to Play Wireless PC VR Games on Oculus Quest with Virtual Desktop for more information.

Having Performance Problems?

While we’ve found that bridging the Oculus-SteamVR divide is a smooth experience, sometimes things go wrong. Oculus VR games played from the Oculus software are usually flawless, barring some unrelated problem, but sometimes the SteamVR version of the same game has performance issues.

If you have any choice at all, it’s usually better to buy the Oculus version of a game if it’s on both platforms. If it’s a SteamVR-only game, make sure you’re running the latest version of all the software involved. 

It’s also worth checking SteamVR settings when you’re in the SteamVR home environment. There have been instances where the SteamVR client sets resolution or other headset settings far too high for the GPU of an Oculus headset.
