Hi @d8thstar, I've previously used Big Box via the original Oculus, but I haven't tested anything with the new Quest. But technically, anything should be able to run in a virtual environment. If you use a controller, you should be good to go as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would need to use streaming software like Moonlight or Steam to stream the feed to the headset over WiFi. Oculus did announce last week a USB C cable that will allow connecting the quest headset to a PC where it will then work in standard Oculus Rift S mode using your PC hardware and sending the feed via cable like a standard PC headset, however that is not currently available to buy.

Jason Carr Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Oh, ha. I didn't realize the Quest was for Android. That's a better answer than I could give. Thanks @neil9000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @neil9000. Yeah its basically a headset with a phone in it, its arm based and runs a customised version of Android for true cable free VR.

d8thstar Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 but since LB is now running on android, should you be able to get it to run natively in the headset, without streaming from a pc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I would imagine the Android version would work but that is just an assumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Proctor Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 It's sick as a standalone device, but the real cherry on top is being able to hook it up to your PC with that USB-C cable they just announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Good Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) I haven't tried getting LB to work on the Quest yet, but I've heard it's a pretty cool setup! Have you had any luck with it? I used Big Box on the OG Oculus too, but I haven't had the chance to test it on the Quest yet. It's exciting that you should be able to run anything in a virtual environment with a controller, but I can imagine there might be some hiccups along the way. If you're looking for more info or tech support, make sure to check out the Multitechverse website! Some pretty knowledgeable peeps on there might be able to help with your LB on Quest setup. Good luck! Edited February 8, 2023 by Jason Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
