Oculus Deployment Manual

First Launch

Download the application

OneDrive - Download for Oculus (*.apk)

Enable Developer Mode

Put the headset in developer mode to be able to sideload to it. To do this, you have to be a Registered Developer. This process is free. Go to dashboard.oculus.com.

Next, open the Oculus application on your smartphone or tablet. In the Settings tab, tap on the Headset and tap More Settings. In the list, you should now see Developer Mode.

NB: If you don’t see Developer Mode, try rebooting your phone and the Quest headset.

Install Prerequisites

You will need Oculus ADB Drivers to allow your PC to install apps on the standalone VR headset.

Download the driver. When the download finishes, extract the .zip file into a folder. Now right-click on android_winusb.inf and click Install.

Final Steps

  1. Make sure your headset is connected to your PC via USB.
  2. Using the Terminal (Unix) or Command Prompt (Windows), navigate to the folder you extracted the contents of the ADB download to. Example: $ cd ./ADB
  3. Enter the adb install -r command followed by the full path to the .apk file you downloaded in the first step. Example: $ adb install -r root/Downloads/VR_Self-Driving_Car.apk

Launch

When you put on your headset, you should see a new section in your Library called Unknown Sources. This will now contain the VR Self-Driving Car simulator.
