Monitoring or turning off chat and filtering content is difficult But there aren't any other kid profile settings. You can keep an eye on what your kid is looking at using the Oculus phone app, and casting to it. The Quest 2 simply doesn't have all these options yet.

It's pretty standard with other game consoles to have multiple player profiles, and also kid accounts that allow certain online features to be locked down. But, again, the settings are assuming your teen is 13 or older. It can be set to ask permission to buy apps, and can track what apps are being used. Parental controls do finally allow some blocking of particular apps including the Quest browser. You can put multiple accounts on a single Quest 2 headset, but those accounts don't necessarily function like kid accounts you'd have on a Switch, Xbox or iPad. We haven't tried Meta's new account system yet, which will be available in August, so it's hard to tell how it'll differ. Some of this is changing now that the Quest 2 has added some parental controls and is getting accounts that don't require Facebook hook-ins, but Meta's still assuming any account is for someone aged 13 or older. But you can't have a Facebook account if you're under 13," Zuckerberg said to me last year. That way you can have all your friends there and have the kind of social experience that we're trying to build. "As you know, in order to use this, you sign in with your Facebook account.

The Quest 2's parental support is still embryonic But if you need further convincing of how much Meta itself doesn't consider the Quest a device for kids, read its safety policies page. My reasons for steering parents away from the Quest 2 as a gift for kids are below.

The PlayStation VR is still fun, but it's full of wires, and at this point I'd wait until the PSVR 2. Nintendo did make a VR kit for the Switch, if you can find it on sale somewhere, but it was more toy than tool. The age of VR goggles that work with phones is long gone. However, there just isn't anything else like the Quest 2 to choose from right now. While this is true in many non-VR apps, too, toxic behavior in virtual worlds is real. My concerns over how Meta and other app developers handle behavior in online VR communities also looms large.

When I spoke with him about my concerns and questions in 2021, he said, regarding the possibility of a kid-focused VR headset or software ecosystem, "I think it's probably quite a ways off that we'd really build something like this." But as a parent and someone who's used the Quest 2 regularly, I can't recommend it as a dedicated kid's device for several reasons.įirst, even Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg doesn't consider the Quest 2 appropriate for children. The Quest 2 is an amazing doorway to immersive experiences, and it can be a device you share with kids under supervision if you're in the same room with them. (Although, if you're anything like most of my friends and family, you'll probably get it anyway.) Just keep in mind that the Quest 2 isn't the kid-friendly system you might think it is. It's an excellent product, and there's nothing else quite like it, especially at this price. Meta, formerly Facebook, has developed its virtual reality headset into a unique gaming console.

Even though Meta has promised additional parental controls for Quest 2 devices, and they won't need a Facebook account to use starting in August, there remain plenty of concerns around safety, both in terms of physical play and online interactions. There's only one problem: It's not designed for kids under 13, and I wouldn't recommend it for them either. For many people, the answer's an Oculus Quest 2 (now called the Meta Quest 2). Sorry for inconvenience.When it comes to tech gifts for kids that don't cost more than $300, a few options come to mind. I thought saying "why isn't it using my steam name" and that I'm using Oculus link that you'd know I was playing the steam paid version on steam VR. Thanks for trying I guess I didn't make it clear enough on OP. That link you provided has nothing to do with the steam version on steam VR on quest. And my name in game is "null" how do I change this.
#Pavlov on quest 2 free
The only information I can find when googling this issue is for people who are using a very old version of Pavlov that's self installed on quest or the free version on side quest.

Ive purchased the full Pavlov VR Game here on steam. I said in the post above should this not be using my steam name. Originally posted by hpn:what you are describing(with the name.txt file) is the native Quest 2(Pavlov Shack) version NOT the SteamVR Pavlov game.įor the Quest 2 version you can find all necessary information here: 's completely opposite of what I was asking.
