Oculus Quest 2 and Sketchup

Hi RubyRieke,

If you use the link-cable you don't need Virtual Desktop. Just open the Oculus app like you would do with the Oculus Rift.

Oculus app needs to be running and then it should be work very simple.

Good luck

Virtual Desktop isn't going to help you unless you utilize side quest. The oculus app is referring to the windows app which is downloaded for free from oculus's website.

I keep hearing about the Oculus app but are you referring to one on the headset? I can't seem to find it.

And up and running...? The Q2 is triggering me. Quality/ ease of use?

Good Morning,

The Quest 2 is really a good headset in both quality and the ease of use. Ofcourse in case of visual clarity it's good but there are better HMD's on the market. I think the Quest 2 is for me the sweet spot. Use it as standalone, tethered or on Wifi, all is possible. No external sensores or bulky hardware needed.

Wishing for an standalone Enscape app one-day

I'm not using Virtual Desktop either. Below just works for me, depending on your PC you might want to lower the quality for VR:

1. SketchUp & Enscape running

2. Link cable in, power up Headset

3. Enable Oculus Link, Oculus app pops up

4. click on VR in the Enscape window

5. return to VR and have a work around

My projects are as *.skp file, even with using a lots of proxies, around the 300 - 400 Mb.

Is there any need to buy the full blown 256Gb instead of the 64Gb knowing it won't be used to play games.

And beside using it direct to a desktop pc with a native linked cable.

How does it work on a remote presentation? Any way to get it working without a laptop?

I have yet to try it with my Beefed up laptop. I'll try next week and let you know.

Thanks RubyRieke much appreciated!

Hi RubyRieke how is the try-out going? Really looking forward for your findings...

I've tried the same. But my videocard isn't good enough. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB.
I have to turn the Enscape stand alone quality to draft/medium to get around..

For me the Quest 2 and original Rift headset look the same in VR when the Quest 2 is tethered to the PC. My PC runs an Quadro RTX 5000 card, which is on the high end, but Enscape limits the quality for VR to one step lower than the highest quality. This is one of the main reasons to consider using OTHER programs for high quality VR due to their ability to bake the lighting and put less strain on the GPU during the live experience.

I really wish Enscape would focus on improving the VR experience for those of us with the hardware to handle it.

One suggestion would be to consider a foveated render approach, so that the processor can prioritize higher quality content in the center of the screen and lower the quality towards the edges.

I also wish they would better support those of us who are trying to use the Quest 2 wirelessly. Clearly its the future of VR. Why not lead the competition?

What other programs are you referring for VR?

That's my greatest wish for Enscape, a better VR optimization.

Thank you medmonds and TP3D , I have gladly forwarded that feedback of yours accordingly.

So any thoughts you can share?

Sorry have not been able to try it yet. I'm having dental issues and a ton of work.

Thanks for your answer. I read you have indeed more urgent priorities.

Pls take your time.
