Setting Up Your Headset

Welcome to Autodesk Workshop XR! You will soon be able to view, walk around, and meet colleagues inside your 3D models. First, we need to ensure that your Quest headset is set up, signed in, and able to access the Meta Store.

Required Items

To start, you will need two main items:

  • Meta Quest headset
  • Meta Horizon app installed on your phone (Android or iOS)

Step-by-Step Setup

Unboxing and Powering On

  1. Remove the headset and controllers from their box.
  2. Press the button on the left side of the headset for 3 seconds to turn it on.
  3. Pull the battery blocker tabs from each controller.
  4. Hold the Menu and Meta buttons for 2 seconds to turn on the controllers.
    • These buttons are located below the thumb stick on each controller.

In-Headset Setup

Wearing the headset, you will now start the in-headset setup! The setup process displays each step visually:

  • Learning to use the controllers to interact
  • Choosing your language
  • Adjusting lens depth, using buttons on the side of each lens
  • Adjusting headset straps, using the Velcro on top and movable tabs at the back
  • Adjusting lens width/spacing, using the dial on the bottom of the left side of the headset
  • Connecting to WiFi

Once connected to the internet, the headset will start its first software update. While this is installing, you will be prompted to continue the setup in the Meta Horizon app.

Meta Horizon App Setup

For New Users

Steps will be as follows:

  1. Create a Meta account
  2. Enter your display name and username
  3. Optional: Choose whether to share app usage data with Meta
  4. Set social privacy settings
  5. Avatar creation
  6. Adding payment method
  7. Optional: Create a PIN

For Existing Meta Users

Steps will be as follows:

  1. Pairing the headset to your app and account
    • This is done by being connected to the same WiFi network, scanning a QR code with the headset, or by entering the 5-digit code from the headset.
  2. Health and safety acknowledgement
  3. Privacy notice acknowledgement
  4. Optional: Choose whether to share headset usage data with Meta

Return to the headset to finish and begin using your Quest 3!
