Install and manage apk files on the Quest using SideQuest, enabling sideloaded games and apps from a community-driven store, with easy drag-and-drop installation and PC integration.

Add a local VR player with the OVRPlayerController prefab, move and rotate in Unity using left and right joysticks, and align ground with floor level tracking for Quest.

Learn to use the Oculus Local Avatar prefab to visualize your hands and controllers, align the avatar with tracking space, and test on Quest builds.

Learn to set up and visualize Oculus controllers and custom hands in Unity, using OVRCameraRig, left and right hand anchors, and Oculus Touch prefabs to synchronize controller tracking.

Set up a basic teleportation locomotion system in Unity for Oculus Quest using the Oculus Integration package, with input handling, aiming visuals, and instant teleport transitions.

Learn to grab objects in VR using the Oculus Touch controllers, by adding OVRGrabbable scripts and grab points, and test with a broomstick, bludger, and beater bat for immersive interaction.

Master distance grabbing in VR with the distance grabber and distance grabbable scripts. Set up a crosshair and sphere collider range to grab broomstick, bludger, and beater bat from distance.

Learn to create and interact with UI in virtual reality using world-space canvases, TextMeshPro, and OVR UI interactions, including buttons and sliders with a laser pointer.

Enable an in-game debug console for the quest to view runtime messages, warnings, and errors. Import the InGameDebugConsole asset, set the world-scale render, and toggle with the left touch controller.

Create a VR avatar in Unity by importing avatar assets, mapping headset and controller inputs to head and hands, and smoothly syncing movement with lerp.

Set up a Unity project for Meta Quest 2 with Oculus Integration to enable hand tracking and explore basic hand interaction scenes.

Set up grabbing in Unity for Quest 2 with hand tracking, using HandGrabInteractor for left and right hands, including physics grabbable and two-hand scaling constraints.

Create a world-scale UI in Unity for hand-tracking, using a proximity field and poke interactable to enable touch, with buttons and text wired to OnClick events.

Explore direct touch 3D button interaction in Unity by assembling a button prefab with a proximity field, surface, and poke interactable, and observe color changes from hover to press.
