alice-teacher Which Oculus?

Tue Nov 23 10:13:39 EST 2021

I don't know if an Oculus Quest with a link has been officially tried and
used successfully, though I think in theory it would work.

I would assume that it would still require a graphics card capable of
supporting it.

We use a Rift S, which is no longer available. For us, the most expensive
part was the computer with a gaming-level graphics card.

I'm hoping in the future, Alice VR will be able to run on a standalone
Oculus Quest without an attached computer, but I don't know if that is
technically feasible.
