The Meta Quest 2 (formerly the Oculus Quest 2) is primarily viewed as a gaming device to play virtual reality games with a sense of immersion that console and PC games can't match. The wireless features allow players to lose themselves in a world closer to reality than ever, only bound by the limits of their room space.
Whether it's VR horror games, shooters, fitness, or simulating a roller coaster, VR is an experience unlike any other in gaming. Thanks to the features of Meta Quest 2, the immersive experience extends beyond video games. Users can even create rooms with a couch to watch movies and a desk to work from. The sofa can be drawn onto the user's real-life one, adding more personalization to their virtual space. This guide will show Meta Quest 2 users how to create a virtual sofa for a more relaxed experience in the virtual world.
How To Create A Virtual Sofa On The Meta Quest 2
Meta Quest 2 allows players to escape to another world. In this case, they can pretend they are sitting in another living room. Use the following steps to create a room space that feels as realistic as possible.
- Place the Meta Quest 2 headset on.
- Access the settings app, represented by a cog symbol on the screen. If settings are not on the main screen, the settings app can be found in the App Library.
- In the settings screen, select the Experimental tab.
- In the Experimental tab, select the Room Setup option.
- Players can now outline the walls in the room using the Meta Quest controller.
- With all sides of the walls connected, players can add a window and a door if they want. However, this is more beneficial for games that use Augmented Reality, like The World Beyond.
- Once the room has been mapped out, it's time to add the couch for extra immersion in Stationary mode.
- The Meta Quest will now request that the user outline the height, width, and depth of their real sofa. If it goes wrong, users can start again.
- With the sofa created, make sure the Meta Quest's Guardian mode is set to Stationary mode. Click the bottom left corner of the Meta Quest's menu where the Wifi symbol is located to open a new menu and ensure that Guardian mode is set to stationary.
That's everything required to ensure that Meta Quest users can create and relax on their virtual couch to play games, watch movies, and more. Remember, attempting to hide behind the virtual sofa when playing spooky VR games may not have the same effect as a real one.
