Headset Setup

Setting up your headset for Hotham Development

NOTE: Hotham currently supports the Oculus Quest 2. There is some limited support for the Quest 1, but this can't be guaranteed for the future. If you have another device you'd like to use with Hotham, let us know and we'll see what we can do!

NOTE: If you don't own a headset and just want to have a poke around, don't stress. You can skip down to the bottom section for instructions on how to use the Hotham Simulator. But if you really do want to start developing VR applications, buy a Quest 2. If you ask nicely on the Discord someone could even share a referral code. 😉

First, you'll need an Oculus Developer account. Go ahead and set one up.

Once you're done, put your device into Developer mode and connect it to your machine.

With all that done, you should now be able to see your device from ADB:

user@host:~/hotham$ adb devices
List of devices attached
1PASH9B12E0092	device

Troubleshooting

If after running adb devices you get the message:

List of devices attached
XXXXXXXX no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]

Then follow the instructions here to add a udev rule for your device.
