1. Lens Distance
To get the most out of your VR experience, it is important that your vision is clear. You can adjust the focus of your Meta Quest VR headset in 2 steps:
Measure your pupil distance
Adjust the lenses
1.1. Measure Your Pupil Distance
Before focusing the lenses, you can measure your pupil distance. You can do this yourself with a millimeter ruler and a mirror, or with the help of a friend.
- Stand in front of a mirror and hold the ruler above your eyes.
- Close one eye and align the end of the ruler with the pupil of your open eye.
- Keep the ruler in place and open your other eye.
- Mark on the ruler where your other pupil is located.
- Read the measurement in millimeters to determine your pupil distance.
1.2. Adjust the Lenses of Quest 3
With the dial at the bottom of the VR headset, you can shift the lenses of the Meta Quest 3.
The Quest 3 does not have fixed settings but offers a range between 53 and 70 mm.
- Turn on the Meta Quest 3.
- Turn the dial. The lens distance will be displayed on your screen.
- Choose the distance you measured in the previous step.
If the image remains blurry after adjustment, move the lenses slightly until the image becomes clearer.
2. Depth Adjustment
When removing the headset, you can use the depth adjustment buttons to change the distance between the lenses and your face or glasses. For added comfort, you can optimize this distance.
- Tilt the headset supports slightly upward.
- Locate the depth adjustment buttons next to the lenses.
- Press and hold the button on one side while holding the edge of the headset. Carefully slide it forward or backward to change the distance.
- Repeat these steps for the other side to ensure the depth adjustment is equal on both sides.
3. Adjust Volume
To adjust the volume, use the volume button on the underside of the headset. This can also be done through the settings menu when the headset is active.
For a more immersive experience, you can connect headphones via the audio jack.
No additional settings are required—it works in plug-and-play mode.
4. Activate Passthrough Mode
You can activate the Passthrough mode on your headset by double-tapping the casing. This feature allows you to switch from VR to a real-world view instantly.
- Ensure the headset is powered on and securely in place.
- Tap the side of the headset casing twice in quick succession.
Once activated, the Passthrough view will appear, giving you a clear view of your surroundings without needing to remove the headset. To return to VR mode, simply double-tap the casing again.
