## Resetting the Quest  


When borrowing a Quest Headset from HKU you may find somebody else's account.   
\*\* Beware: resetting can be a pain in the ass &amp; it's advisory to only do this when it is inevitable.   
At Janskerkhof the sets are connected to a Blackbox account, check in with us before resetting please\*\*  
  
  
To make full use of the headset &amp; connect it to your phone your need to do a factory reset:

## Step 2: Download the Meta app

<div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section" id="bkmrk--2"><div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section"><div class="grid gap-y--2 gap-x--6@sm gap-x--8@md section--2"><div class="col--12 col--6@sm push--6@sm">![Download the Meta app](https://image.coolblue.nl/624x351/content/6fdfdc63e6ab5aba40b4b241c4ac87a0)</div><div class="col--12 col--6@sm pull--6@sm"><div class="section--2"><div class="advisory-content__block-content"><div class="markdown">  
</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>On your phone, go to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Search for 'Meta app' and download the Meta app. After the installation, you can open the app. You need a Meta account and a Meta Horizon account.

## Step 3: Create a Meta account

<div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section" id="bkmrk--3"><div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section"><div class="grid gap-y--2 gap-x--6@sm gap-x--8@md section--2"><div class="col--12 col--6@sm push--6@sm">![Create a Meta account](https://image.coolblue.nl/624x351/content/94597d38b8c58e852badf1e8c84e5545)</div><div class="col--12 col--6@sm pull--6@sm"><div class="section--2"><div class="advisory-content__block-content"><div class="markdown">

Follow the steps until you get the message that you created an account. After you create a Meta account, you have to create a Meta Horizon account. That's a social media platform for the Metaverse. Go through all the steps and complete the creation process.

## Step 4: Connect VR headset

<div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section" id="bkmrk--4"><div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section"><div class="grid gap-y--2 gap-x--6@sm gap-x--8@md section--2"><div class="col--12 col--6@sm push--6@sm">![Connect the Meta Quest 2 to the app](https://image.coolblue.nl/624x351/content/d66a4ae29b1b538e744d228b4d1c485d)</div><div class="col--12 col--6@sm pull--6@sm"><div class="section--2"><div class="advisory-content__block-content"><div class="markdown">  
</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Turn the Meta Quest VR headset on and hold it near your phone. Make sure the Bluetooth on your phone is enabled and connect the phone to the VR headset via the Meta app. Don't close the app while it's connecting.

<div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section" id="bkmrk--5"><div class="js-bug-reporter-section advisory-content__block section"><div class="grid gap-y--2 gap-x--6@sm gap-x--8@md section--2"><div class="col--12 col--6@sm push--6@sm">![](https://image.coolblue.nl/624x351/content/c1fafc2eb0223a7a61f97ab245bd7d6a)</div><div class="col--12 col--6@sm pull--6@sm"><div class="section--2"><div class="advisory-content__block-content"><div class="markdown">  
</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Put on the VR headset and follow the instructions on the screen. During this process, you'll also connect the headset to the WiFi. After, the Quest VR headset will start updating the software. The VR headset makes a sound when the update is done. Keep the Meta app open during this process. Is the process done?

2. Select Camera then select Cast.

# SketchUp VR

You can use SketchUp Vr to collaborate on designing on your headset!   
Join a friend and work on the same project together in real time. VR Sketch has a two-way live-link with SketchUp so the changes you make in VR are updated in SketchUp and vice versa. This means there is no exporting, importing, downloading or uploading to the cloud; just work like you would in SketchUp.  
  
SketchUp Vr works on Quest &amp; HTC Vive.

#### Here's some video previews:

Here's the full [tutorial playlist](https://www.youtube.com/@VRSketch/videos) for SketchUp VR

### **Installation:**

##### **Part 1:** 

On the Quest download "VR SKETCH" from the Applab &amp; install it.

[![image.png](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/scaled-1680-/RjJimage.png)](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/RjJimage.png)

##### **Part 2:**

First of all you need to run **SketchUpPro** on a computer. (you can work in a Pro version in the HKU Blackboxes)   
Via the 'extension warehouse' search for 'vr sketch' plugin

[![image.png](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/scaled-1680-/fgPimage.png)](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/fgPimage.png)

Download &amp; install it (once)  
After install you can find the options in 'Extensions' in the top bar:

[![sketchupVR copy.png](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/scaled-1680-/sketchupvr-copy.png)](https://bookstack.hku.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/sketchupvr-copy.png)  
  
To connect the Vr goggles &amp; the sketch go to 'Extensions&gt;VR Sketch"  
\- On Vive (connected by cable) choose: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Send to VR on this PC</span>  
\- For Quest (wireless<span style="text-decoration:underline;">) Send to VR on Oculus Ques</span>t (make sure both machines are on the same wireless network)  
\- [collaborative editing](https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup-viewer/collaborating-within-model-0 "more info on collaborative editing on the sketchup site") (click for more info, his is a combination option) can also be done from various locations.

Be sure to follow the tutorials to really get into the possibilities of this tool!

The Vr sketch tool allows you to collaborate on computer &amp; goggles in 1 project at the same time.  
If you are on the computer, besides building with the person in VR simultaneously, you can also puppeteer them or place them in other spots in the design. Remember to always communicate with each other on this, to avoid nausea or worse...   
  
Collaborative editing: You can have multiple Oculus clients in your project simultaneously to view, but only 1 at a time can edit in VR.   
The VR-vistors cannot see each others avatars. Switching who is the editor needs to be done on the computer
