If you have ever wanted to experience virtual reality (VR) now is your chance! Just pick up the Oculus Quest and start playing.
The Oculus consists of three parts: the headset that goes over your eyes, and two hand controllers that you use to interact with the world.
How do I charge the Oculus quest?
There is a small charging port on the side of the headset:
Plug the charging cable in there. You can then see the state of the charging (is the battery full or not) by looking at the power indicator:
| Headset is Plugged In | ||
| Green | Solid | Battery is charged |
| Orange | Solid | Battery is charging |
| Red | Solid | Battery is low |
| No light | None | Battery is not charging |
How do I turn on the Oculus Quest?
Once the battery is charged, press the Power Switch on the side of the Oculus quest. The power indicator light will let you know if the Quest is booting or not:
| Color | State | Indication |
| White | Solid | Screen is on |
| White | Blinking | Rebooting or turning on |
| Purple | Blinking | Performing factory reset |
Now what?
Probably the best way to get introduced to using the Oculus Quest is to watch a video on it.

What games can I play?
The Quest comes with a number of games installed. But there is one game that is particularly fun for groups as it allows interaction between the person with the headset and people who don't have the headset on.
The game is called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

How can other people in my group see what I am doing?
The Oculus has a concept of "casting" to another device. You can learn more about it here:

You can cast to the Chromecast that is installed on the Living Room TV. (See the Living Room TV instructions for more information on how to turn on Chromecast.)
Replacing batteries in the hand controllers
Each of the hand controllers takes a single AA battery. We have provided rechargeable batteries and a charging station. If one of the batteries is running low, all you need to do is pull it out, put a charged battery in, and put the drained battery in the charger.
Here's a video showing how to replace the battery.
