How to work in a VR office using "Oculus Quest 2"

Work in that world!

It is an invitation to use the VR headset "Oculus Quest 2" for work.Not only Oculus Quest 2, but when you hear VR headset, many people will think "= game".Fight enemies in the virtual world, fly in the sky, nadenade cats.However, recent software updates and new features have made it usable not only in entertainment but also in business.Aside from whether you want to work in that world, you can do it.Although it is still in the early stages, I personally feel the potential.

The first thing I want to say is that in a VR office, you can install it as much as you like, as much as you like.I wonder if some people have already understood the goodness of that office!

Now, let's introduce how to set the VR office.

If you work with Oculus Quest 2 around your head, you should first add a keyboard and mouse to prepare your work environment.The keyboard is Logitech K830 with trackpad.It is the only keyboard that supports Oculus Quest 2.However, if the demand for office increases in the future, I think that the corresponding keyboard will increase more (hope).

If you use Logitech K830 (in the future), check "Bluetooth Mouse and Trackpad" and "Tracked Keyboard".There is "BRING YOUR DESK Into VR" and you can switch on and off with "Add/Remove".Now you can make your headset recognize your desk position, so that you can use your desk to use it.In other words, if you approach the desk in real life, you can make a work environment (desk) appear in that world.It feels spectacular only when listening to the story, but the current situation is still an experimental function, and it is persistent, but only one of Logitech K830 is compatible.

For the time being, you can try your favorite keyboard mouse, not Logitech K830.However, in the setting of Oculus Quest 2, it is a specification stating "Experipental", so it is not known how much it will move.From the app settings, you can set the keyboard and mouse pairing with "Experimental Features"> "Pair"> "PAIR A New Device".

Among those who use keyboards other than the compatible keyboard (Logitech K830), it is better to see the keyboard when type except for the perfect blind touch.I would like to respond by changing the virtual background to an image from the Oculus Quest 2 camera.Can be set with "Pass-Through Home" from "Quick Settings".

Let's play with the built -in browser.The window size can be changed from the 3 -point icon on the upper right of the browser.+Open the addition window from the icon.

Ants are also trying to use Firefox Reality.To be honest, it is more flexible than the browser that this one is incorporated, and it is multifunctional.You can open multiple windows side by side, so it's also good to be surrounded by a browser.At present, however, Firefox Reality does not support VR desk and Pass-Through background function.

Most of the work apps in the Oculus Quest 2 library are VR conferences and design systems, so the correspondence of various apps, including message apps, is still in the future.Looking at the official demo videos, the corresponding apps are likely to increase in the future.

The browser of that world is also good, but you can fly what is happening on a computer in the world (Windows/MacOS) through Ovulus Quest 2.The hardware setting is almost the same, and the mirroring is mirrored to the world through the headset.

There are several ways, for example, Immersed.Up to two monitors for a free version.If it is a paid version of $ 15 per month, various functions such as whiteboard sharing and workspace customization will be attached.If you have a desktop environment and an app on Oculus Quest 2, you can mirror the one on your computer to the VR world.

Virtual Desktop is a similar software and supports both Windows/MacOS.However, one number of screens is one (the size can be selected, the background, etc. can be selected).$ 20.

VSPATIAL is rich in function.There are many functions that can be used among multiple users, such as screen sharing and chat.Launched software on both desktops and headsets, and access the remote desktop in the local WiFi environment.There is also a free version, but if you want to provide group meetings and remote access via the Internet, you need a paid version of $ 10 per month.
