Tip 1: allow the Meta to warm up

We understand you want to get started with your Meta right away. But it's important that your VR headset warms up properly. That way, you prevent the lenses from fogging up.

Tip 2. Set up the lenses correctly

It's important that the lenses of your Quest VR headset are correctly adjusted. You have to measure your pupil distance and move the lenses for this.

On the Meta Quest 3, you can move the lenses with the dial on the bottom of the VR headset. On the Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3S, you can click the lenses apart.

Clean lenses are important for an optimal VR experience. We recommend you to clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth regularly. Proper adjustment of the VR headset helps against blurriness. Make sure to pull the headband backwards when you put the headset on. Determine which of the 3 settings is the most comfortable for you. The headset needs to be tight while you play, but comfort is also important.

  • Via the buttons on the Meta Quest VR headset
