    Hella people are letting me know that my network setup is probably not fit for running AirLink. Here's my setup if you want to investigate further:
    - 2.5Gb NIC on my PC wired with CAT6 directly to my 1Gb router
    - Router is a NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 C7500 quad antenna with both 2.4GHz & 5GHz
    - Quest is on the 5GHz network, along with 4 or 5 other devices
    - Everything I listed is within an 8ft radius of one another
    My thinking is that my 5GHz band may be too busy with the other devices that are connected. I also live somewhere with like 20,000,000 WiFi signals bouncing around from other people all the time. I did set my channel to be one of the lesser-used ones, but it's still pretty crowded.
    Would a dedicated WiFi 6 AP with nothing else connected to it but the Quest drastically improve performance? It's really the only solution I can think of (other than using Virtual Desktop, which I'll probably just do instead).

    • @WorldInThe
      @WorldInThe Před rokem +25

      Wifi 6 should help a lot thanks to it's beam forming tech. It's meant to help give you better connections in wifi busy areas. If virtual desktop fails then that should help plus wifi 6 has lower latency as well so it'd be a net positive either way haha.

      @HerbalCoughdrop Před rokem +29

      Virtual Desktop is much better in most cases, if you buy it though make sure you get it on the oculus store and run it off of your headset though. If you buy the steam version it's not compatible with quest or it least it wasn't a year ago when I tried it.

    • @Helloshere
      @Helloshere Před rokem

      Okay, I've done alot to my quest to try to make it the best that I can (btw I have an oculus quest 2, not a meta!) What you need to do for literally any gameplay you want to do on your PC is use a quest 2 program called "Virtual Desktop." Performance increase by the nth degree, compatibility is a main focus, and reoptimizations to the system to make it the best it can be (uncapped/overclocked speeds sometimes) are just some of the best things about the program!

      Not about the Wi-Fi, but you should check out EMU VR, it’s for PC. It simulates a whole 90’s kids room, it comes with RetroArch and it allows you to simulate cartridges, discs, VHS tapes and consoles like your a kid in the late 90s early 2000s. You have to import everything yourself, once you get it setup you can connect your Xbox (or anything compatible with PC) controller and play retro games in your 90s themed room.

    You can fix the latency issues by using the Oculus debug tool and turning off ASW. ASW basically allows your VR game to run at half frame rate and interpolates the frames in between which is helpful but also is kinda awful at times.

    • @HerbalCoughdrop
      @HerbalCoughdrop Před rokem +82

      If you change your refresh rate on your headset to 120hz or something it's less noticeable but if you run 80 or 90hz with it off it feels much better.

      Also just getting a wifi access point that can do some high throughput is a good idea. I have the unifi U6 Lite and it makes streaming 200-300 Mbps look easy with much more room for other devices to use the rest of that spectrum.

    While I didn't try it myself (cries in laptop with integrated graphics), EmuVR is a PCVR Program that let's you emulate games as if you were in a room with a TV, and you can put cartirtidges in a NES or pass the controller to a friend (Yes, it supports Multiplayer). Isn't as "hacky" or "homebrewey", but is still quite cool.

    I saw this video close to when it was originally uploaded, and it honestly made me interested to try out VR in a way that absolutely nothing and no one before had. The Quest 2, for all its shortcomings, seemed like the perfect option for me too, given a single USB-C link cable and space constraints. However, since I'm not from a country where its officially sold, I thought I would have to wait until my first real VR experiences. And then, it hit; the used market! I looked around, and while I didn't find a used one here, I did find a refurbished model for a really reasonable price! Excitedly, I waited until it arrived, and it did, and its been working really well since.
    Fast forward to today, and I am rewatching the video that was my final push into VR. And then I came across the bit at 1:35.
    I had completely blocked out that portion of information from my mind. I didn't realise there are 2 kinds of Quests 2 logos out there.

    The VirtualBoy emulator on SideQuest works pretty dame well and (not having played on original hardware) I would assume far less nauseating since it plays on a floating 3d screen rather than having the image follow you when you turn.
    If you want to play 3DS games one way I've found is to just stream them through virtual desktop. If you set the emulator to display the left and right images you can even get VD to display them in 3d and it's a much better effect than using original hardware.

    Fun Fact about Oculus Link: It is actually just sending information through the USB Cable as packets of data, rather than using the USB C Feature of sending Displayport over USB.
    That gives you the benefit of using a USB A to USB C cable like shown in the video, but gives the downside that all the tracking, sound, and video is going over the same USB protocol as something like a flash drive, which isn't ideal or intended for low-latency VR. I wish WiGig options become more prevalent, since I'm pretty happy with my Vive Wireless and would love to have other options in the future.

    When using the wired USB-C connection, make sure your headset is plugged into an isolated USB controller (a controller with no other USB devices plugged in or a single port for a single controller). Consult your motherboard's manual for what ports the USB controllers are hooked up to.

    the quest 2 is a great headset for me it works fine for me and the portability is what i like about it it let me finally enjoy HL:Alyx and because of this video i just realized i have the oculus branding on mine
    oh also one problem i had on my newly built PC was the usb not sending enough power. To fix that i just had to switch off in device manager the specific usb port the ability for the "computer to turn off the device to save power" for some reason it was an issue i had while trying to use the headset wired

    I got my quest two a few weeks back when I turned 18 (12th jan 2024 for reference) and I love the thing to death. I got the 256Gb version off of Amazon and imagine my delight when I found the Oculus logo on the front, rather than Meta. Bear in mind this is a refurb model, but still, an absolute delight

    Subscribed for that one SteamOS video but your content is incredibly solid and very reminiscent of how I'd personally hope to run a CZcams channel if I ever took the leap to do so. All the stuff in this video makes me wish I had kept my girlfriend's Oculus Quest 2 (with the Correct logo on it) after I got her an index rather than just keeping my Rift S, but oh well. Regardless, awesome video. Keep up the good work!

    if you can buy it for 20$, virtual desktop is basically airlink but usually runs much better (at least for me)...
    for some people it's the only option since link and airlink just refuse to work on older computers, for example: i tried it on a laptop with an nvidia 960m and it worked well enough i think
    anyways, great video!

    Since I’ve stopped using my quest as much, I figured instead of letting it sit there, it can run BOINC for android and be useful to someone during the months I’m away at school.
    In case you don’t know what BOINC is, it’s sort of like folding at home but for smaller/more independent research projects. I don’t know if there’s a way to get the iGPU to work but CPU processing works fine.
    You just have to keep the headset in a soft sleep mode by covering the proximity sensor between the lenses.

    A bit more research would be aprecciated before posting misleading content like this.

Given you have a pretty capable VR PC and at least a 5Ghz Router (Wifi6 is slightly better) directly tethered via network cable to your streaming PC. Sooo.. next time maybe.

    I have a rift and I can tell you that yes a pc headset with a direct connection will have tiny bit less latency and noticably less compression, but I can also say that if you use a proper link cable, usb3 port and a powerful gpu quest should look really high res and feel really responsive. You shouldn't have nearly as many issues. Same with wireless, although at lower quality than wired.

    for tracking it can help with fresh controller battery's

    One thing that helped me with Quest Air Link is connecting the quest to my laptop's mobile hotspot, so It's connected directly to the system with no middleman such as a WiFi router. Must say, the "random period of lag" you were describing still persists, don't know what may be causing that. With that said, I don't think you can set up a mobile hotspot on a traditional PC without some kind of adapter either way, so there's that :)

    If anyone is doing ANYTHING on a wifi connection link has a pretty bad time. I actually recommend getting a separate router and connecting only the quest, then wire to either your modem or primary router. I got lucky and found one at my local goodwill for under a dollar, but it does pretty well. It's certainly still a tradeoff between compression quality/latency and untetheredness, but I find it can be useful.
