If you own a Meta Quest headset, you can experience Spaces in VR even better. We offer a free Meta Quest App for this purpose.

(Here you can find instructions on how to install the rooom app on the Meta Quest.)

In the Meta Quest app, you can use the controls of your headset for navigation. Find out exactly how this works here.

The following list shows all possible actions:

Look around

Turn your head to look around.

In addition, you can change the viewing direction with the right joystick. Depending on the setting, the viewing direction is changed in steps (SnapTurn) or continuously (Continuous).

Move

Setting: Continuous

Use the left joystick to move around the room. This setting is closest to the feeling of walking, but can cause motion sickness.

Setting: Teleport

If you have the Teleport setting active, you can select a point on the ground with your controllers and teleport there by pressing the trigger. If available, you can also use the navigation points on the ground.

Interact with objects

When you point a controller at an object, the right controller tells you whether you can perform an action and which key you need to press to do so. (Usually this is the right trigger).

This way you can select objects and open e.g. 3D Product Viewer, videos or whiteboards.

Move objects

Certain objects (such as sticky notes) can be moved. Point a controller at the object and hold down the Grip button on the side of the controller. Release the Grip button when you no longer want to move the object.

Jump A button (right controller)
Open/close main menu

B button (right controller) 

Alternatively: Menu button (left controller)

Close rooom App  Oculus button (right controller)

Now select the first menu point with the right controller and press the trigger on the right controller.

Back to the home lobby

Open the shortcut menu by holding the left controller sideways (with the back of your hand facing forward).

Now select the third menu point with the right controller and press the trigger on the right controller.

Now select the fourth menu point with the right controller and press the trigger on the right controller.
