Click on the “ Reset Headset” button and SteamVR will be automatically restarted.Īlso, make sure that you are actually wearing your headset (place it on your forehead if you need to see your PC desktop), and do not let your Quest 2 go to sleep. It is quite obvious, but when in doubt simply restart the application you are having trouble with. Now that the headset is detected in Oculus Software, launch the SteamVR application and there’s a good likelihood you’ll see more success here too! If you have done everything correctly, you should your Quest 2 shown as Active when clicking “Devices” from the Oculus PC app: So go ahead and download the setup, complete the Oculus Link PC software installation and connect your headset there.

The first thing you have to know is that no matter whether you use Oculus Link / Air Link / Virtual Desktop, you must install the Oculus Link PC Software for the Quest 2 headset to be detected properly in SteamVR. Using the Quest controllers for tracking also improves the tracking accuracy over using in-headset cameras to look for your fingers and hands.Unable to play SteamVR games, because you get a “Headset Not Detected” (108) error? That’s a bummer! To help you out, I did some brainstorming and research on the topic and came up with the following list of steps you can take to potentially solve the issue.ġ) Make Sure Headset is Detected in Oculus PC App It's designed now to be more of a helpful feedback system for the otherwise sensation-free world of hand tracking. If I were blindfolded, I'd have no idea what any of these sensations even meant. It doesn't feel like I can "feel" the edges of things, or the nuance of an object. The synchronization with in-world objects isn't always perfect in my brief demo. It can either feel glitchy, or like making contact. I feel a pulling on my fingers, like a puppeteer pulling my finger's marionette strings back. The difference happens when I make contact with virtual things.

The gloves are primarily designed for Windows VR and AR headset users, but can also work with Quest headsets.īut the gloves bring up one of the weirdest challenges in VR right now: How do new controls evolve to become something everyone can find useful and actually get work done with?Ĭontroller adapters are needed for tracking on Oculus and Steam VR, which bulks the handwear up a bit. I had to sideload a demo app made to work with the gloves, which could be Bluetooth paired to the Quest 2 after I put it in developer mode. And second, they don't work with any of the Quest's ordinary apps and games. ![]() First of all, the gloves cost about $5,000. The SenseGlove Nova haptic gloves I wore are absolutely not for everyday Quest 2 owners. I could feel a semblance of what I was doing with my fingers. I felt a clicking sort of resistance, as my fingers brushed a virtual soda can and crushed it. Then, for a few minutes I was picking up robotic parts, pushing buttons and pulling levers in VR - and in a weird way, I felt little cables pulling back on my fingers, almost like puppet strings. ![]() I slotted Oculus Quest 2 controllers into slots over my gloves. I stretched a pair of knitted gloves over my hands, adjusting little plastic tips, delicately screwing in holsters on the backs of large, plastic battery packs. My very first attempt at trying home VR haptic gloves was awkward. ![]()
