Locomoção em realidade virtual 🇧🇷
Olá, Meu nome é Thiago Brendon, sou brasileiro e gostaria de compartilhar uma ideia relacionada à locomoção em ambientes de realidade virtual. Antes de tudo, não sou engenheiro nem especialista na área. Sou apenas um usuário apaixonado por tecnologia e jogos que gosta de imaginar novas formas de interação. Uma das dificuldades que observo na realidade virtual é a necessidade de controles ou equipamentos adicionais para movimentação. Em muitos países, incluindo o Brasil, acessórios avançados de locomoção podem ser caros e inacessíveis para grande parte dos usuários. Pensando nisso, tive uma ideia que pode parecer incomum à primeira vista: utilizar a língua como método complementar de controle. A proposta seria desenvolver um pequeno sensor ou touchpad posicionado no céu da boca, capaz de detectar movimentos da língua para frente, para trás e para os lados. Dessa forma, o usuário poderia controlar a movimentação do personagem sem ocupar as mãos e sem depender de equipamentos grandes ou caros. Acredito que a língua possui características interessantes para esse tipo de interação: Alta precisão de movimento; Resposta rápida; Não interfere diretamente nos movimentos da cabeça; Permite que as mãos permaneçam livres para outras ações; Poderia reduzir a necessidade de dispositivos externos de locomoção. Imagino que a combinação entre rastreamento do olhar, movimentos da cabeça e comandos simples realizados pela língua poderia criar uma experiência bastante imersiva e acessível. Não sei se essa ideia é tecnicamente viável ou se já existe alguma pesquisa semelhante em andamento. Meu objetivo é apenas compartilhar uma sugestão que considero criativa e que talvez possa inspirar futuras formas de interação em realidade virtual, quero que seja mais acessível para mim já que não tenho condições de ter um acho que assim fica mais barato. Obrigado pelo tempo e pela atenção. Atenciosamente, Email:*** Thiago*** [edited for privacy - this is a public forum]
Can't un/pair controllers to Meta 3 Headset
Hi, I have about 20 Meta Quest 3 headset. I mostly develop for them hands free, so I don't care about the controllers at all. The things is all the controllers got mixed up. I want to do factory reset on many devices but I can't proceed without pairing some controllers, but they don't pair because they are paired to hell knows what device with hell know which account. I need to re-pair them without accessing original account as it mentioned in support: https://www.meta.com/help/quest/967070027432609/ Also this factory reset method for the controllers don't work too: Quest 3 controller pairs but none of the buttons work - 1107964 Please help me solve this controllers hell.
Quest 1 connecting to meta horizon app but stuck on safety screen
Hi, i recently got a pair of quest 1s and i have been trying to connect them to my phone so i can get them set up on my pc. I followed what the app and headset said to do. But whenever i reached the safety explaination page I get stuck there. There is this 1 minute long video and it just keeps looping, and i can't click anything. I can either mute the volume, skip the video, return to the previous step, or just back out completely from the setup and have to start over again. If someone has a solution for this or knows of a fix, please let me know.
Age things
I got an email from meta saying that a child under the age of 13 is using my headset (i made another account for my little sister) and that it will suspend my account on June 21 2026 if I don’t confirm my age. However, I am older than 13 (my sister isnt and we used her number to sign it up) and I tried to confirm my age but the link just puts me on a page to sign in and when I do it doesn't let me do anything but change my language? How do I confirm my age?We need to talk about the Meta Quest Software.
Hello, my name is Mateus Camargo, I'm a developer from Brazil, and I recently got a Meta Quest 3S. While the hardware itself is impressive, the software experience has some severe flaws. I’d like to highlight three major issues that aren't just bothering me, but a significant portion of the community as well. 1. System Performance and Fluidity The Horizon OS feels noticeably unoptimized. Simple tasks lack fluidity, and occasional stutters break the immersion entirely. Paradoxically, each system update seems to degrade performance instead of improving it. The OS needs a deep optimization pass to become lighter, more responsive, and efficient. 2. Lack of Environment Variety (The Horizon Home) The Horizon Home experience has become incredibly monotonous. We used to have access to a wider variety of environments. While the new default environment (Valley) looks beautiful, the current lack of options feels like a step backward. Stripping away diversity ruins the personal connection users have with their virtual space. 3. Missing Basic Productivity Tools It is frustrating that a powerful standalone headset lacks fundamental tools like a native Calculator, Stopwatch, or Notepad. While competing devices include these by default, Quest users are forced to rely on unofficial workarounds or heavy browser tabs just to take a quick note. Implementing basic, lightweight native productivity apps should be a priority. I hope the software team takes this feedback into consideration. The hardware is great, but the software needs to match its potential.
Please help me.
Please help me. Meta arranged a replacement for my Quest 3, and I received a refurbished device. I followed the setup instructions you provided, but the controllers showed an error and I could not proceed with the setup. I contacted support about this issue. The chat support team told me the controllers were defective, but the email support team told me the headset was defective, so I was not sure what the actual cause was. Because of that, I sent back the headset and both controllers together. I clearly informed support that I shipped the headset and both controllers together, and I also provided the controller serial numbers and the shipping documents. However, today I only received one controller back. Also, the Quest 3 headset I received is still in the exact same defective condition as before. I have already tried a factory reset, and I also tried holding down the controller buttons to pair them again, but I still get the same error and cannot proceed with setup. I have already followed all the troubleshooting steps, but the problem has not been fixed. I do not know what else I can do. Could you please check this situation urgently and tell me what happened to my other controller and how this defective headset issue will be resolved?
Meta Horizon mobile app wont recognize Quest Pro
got the headset mailed straight from meta. I did the initial set up as instructed and when i restarted it: the background reset to the new home environment. factory resetting it does nothing but reset the background back to the psuedo-foggy dance studio. the main issue seems to be that the latest headset update is invisible to the phone app. any ideas?
