Once you’ve connected, the Options button (the left Touch controller’s equivalent of the Oculus button) is mapped to open up the top-level menu for Virtual Desktop, as shown in the image below. From there, clicking “Games” will reveal every game that’s installed on your PC. You ca...

new VR oculus such as Oculus Quest Pro (Meta) and Vision Pro (Apple) promise to deliver high-definition virtual environments, cutting-edge technology in processing images, analysing and responding to body motion, and light hardware. Understanding that new technological developments...
The most obvious difference is that the tracking rings now go over the hand instead of under (which better positions them to be seen by the cameras on the headset). The less obvious differences are a slightly different feel to the sticks and buttons, and subtle change to the controller’s...
