Trying to use my Quest 2 outdoors.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nDespite all the drawbacks of using a Meta Quest 2 headset outside, it is technically possible to make it work outside, but you will need to experiment to find the perfect conditions to get everything working. You will also need to take steps to ensure both you and your headset are safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having spent lots of time experimenting with outdoor usage, I was not even able to get the controllers to track accurately on a dull, cloudy day. I had some success when playing in an outside space when I optimized the conditions perfectly by having lots of features such as walls, plants, and a fence close to me, and playing in the early evening when lighting conditions were very dull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did also have some success using my Quest 2 outside after dark, as I was able to use a number of outside lights to illuminate the area sufficiently and achieve fairly good controller tracking performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to use an Oculus Quest 2 headset outside, you need to ensure you are doing it somewhere that you are confident is safe, free of obstacles, and ideally flat. This can start to limit your options because you will also need very dull conditions at the start or end of the day, not to mention a playspace of at least 2m by 2m (6.5ft by 6.5ft) and a suitable position to allow Wi-Fi access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should try your best to make sure the touch controllers are working so that you can set up your Guardian boundary system to prevent collisions with unsuspecting walls or garden ornaments. If you are confident that you have a large enough space or have someone nearby to keep an eye on you, exploring or taking a stroll throughout your favorite virtual worlds can be a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
