I am looking for advice on whether the Quest is viable as a tool to use in external environments for behavioural research purposes. I currently have an old Rift and do some basic development on this, with the aim to develop scenarios for use in experimental psychology-related scenarios. The Quest would be an obvious choice to move to as I want to be able to place people in situations that would allow for being outside and in places where I do not have a PC or constrained environment. So first question: what is the viability of using Quest outdoors? Second question: as my 2017 Razer laptop supports Rift (but not more recent hardware) with HDMI and USB ports only, can I use Quest with this set up to continue to develop applications and upload onto Quest?
