As you know, Meta – that is Facebook – is one of the companies that has been betting mainly on virtual reality for almost a decade, since Mark Zuckerberg acquired the Eye to save everyone. Currently, viewers continue to send with the excuse of metaverse, but because we want to play, we decided to connect some Meta Quest 2 to the PC and enjoy the catalog that we have acquired in Steam VR.
By air… or better by cable
The fact is that Meta Quest 2, although they are a wireless model that we can use for the PC at home – thanks to the Eye of its operating system -, it is good to use them connected to a computer, still being able to access the game library stores like Valve’s, where the multitude of releases they are focused solely on virtual reality.
To achieve this, we need to get the specified Meta software and install it to connect with the glasses via a wireless connection to the PC. It’s called North American Air Link, and you can see how it works just below. In principle it does not cause problems and it is completely functional, but it is true that depending on the connection we have, the streamed signal can be interrupted or its quality reduced too much.
So the solution to this problem is simple: it is better to buy a cable to connect it to the PC glasses and thus be able to do what we want without working tricks or small lags in response times. So it goes to Mata Quest 2, but what are the technical requirements to complete it perfectly?
Choose the right cable for you
If you want to connect the Meta Quest 2 to a computer via a USB-C port, you need to take several things into account. The first thing is that you will not have the 100 coins that Meta asks for the official model, which is the best without a doubt, because it is done with fiber optics, which makes the connection perfect and without lag, but they are. other alternatives Much cheaper and soon to function.
The first thing you should be clear is that your PC must integrate USB ports – both A and C- 3.1 gen 2. Why? Well, because they are the ones that guarantee the highest transmission speed (up to 5 Gbps) and can not only transfer data from the computer to the glasses, but also take charge so that it does not break to recharge the Meta batteries. Question 2
So if your computer has a USB port of that type, or even better, you can have virtual reality without the problem of a cable that also made the data transfer at those speeds. So we leave you some here below;
