Beginner
Setting up a VR station
Get your headsets, space, and accounts ready so learners can step straight into a session.
01What you'll need
Equipment
Have these ready
- One Meta Quest 3 or 3S headset per learner in the session
- Strong Wi-Fi signal in the simulation space
- Headphones or earbuds, for clearer audio (recommended)
⚠️
Quest 2 is being phased out
Meta is phasing out the Quest 2. We recommend Quest 3 or 3S for the best InvolveXR experience. See the Meta Quest hardware overview.
02Prepare the space
A safe place to move
- Choose an open space with clear boundaries.
- Remove trip hazards and low-hanging objects.
- Give each learner at least 5 by 5 feet (1.5 by 1.5 m) to move.
03Set up each headset
Install InvolveXR
- Turn on the headset and complete Meta's Quest setup.
- Open the Meta Quest Store and search "Healthcare".
- Install the InvolveXR VR app.
