  • How do I connect my Oculus 3 to Wifi?

    Simply follow the link below:
    Set Up Your VR WiFi

  • How do I allow pop ups on my phone or tablet to generate a login token?

    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Safari and turn off Block Pop-ups.

    Once you’ve allowed pop-ups, log into the LMS and attempt to generate a login token. You should now successfully see a 6 character token appear on your screen!

  • Why am I on the edge of a boundary when I open the VET app?

    For the Branch Circuit Wiring Modules in Lesson 1it is recommended that  you use the same 10’x10’ space continuously, as you will avoid these types of issues.

    If you are using a consistent space and still spawn on the edge of the boundary, position yourself in the center of your physical 10’x10’ space and hold down the Oculus button for roughly 3 seconds. Once you do so, it will re-center your guardian boundary.

  • My headset died during the experience, what do I do now?

    Unfortunately, the VR applications do not save your progress at this time. You will need to charge your headset, and re-enter into the application when your headset is properly charged.

  • How do I submit scores to the LMS?

    Because you have logged into the VR application using a unique token ID, the software recognizes your account from the Blended Learning account you used to authenticate the experience.

    For the branch circuit wiring modules in Lesson 1, make sure that submit your scores before exiting out of the application. Once you exit out of the guided or test lesson, the scores will be sent to your LMS.

  • How many attempts will I get to go through VET’s lessons?

    The VR software allows for an unlimited number of attempts for students to go through the VR. However, students will be advised by their instructors with specific instructions.

  • How long does it take to complete a VET lesson?

    Each of the lessons vary in length, but you should expect each individual lesson taking 10-20 minutes. This time will differ based on your familiarity of the electrical tasks in the lesson, as well as your comfortability with VR.

  • I get motion sickness very easily; will I be able to go through the VR?

    While VR users usually don’t have any motion sickness using the VR headset, there are some precautions you can take.

    1. The VR headset should be snug on your face, but not too tight. Make sure that you have also adjusted the lenses to match the pupillary distance of your eyes. Doing so will make sure that the picture is clear and crisp.
    2. Use the VR in a well-lit area. The sensors in the headset need to see your surroundings in order to construct the virtual environment so you can interact with it.
    3. When walking around in the virtual environment, take your time. Slow, steady movements will help combat any latency due to quick movements.
    4. Limit your initial time spent in VR, with the goal of increasing as time goes on. If possible, start with 5–10 minutes for your first few VR experiences. Aim to increase that range by 5 minutes every few days and continue building on that range until you feel completely comfortable in the VR.
  • Can I go through the VET lessons on my computer?

    Currently, our virtual reality training is only accessible on the Oculus Quest platform  through HMDs (head-mounted displays).

  • I can’t log into VR with the token

    First, make sure that the token you are entering into the VR application is the same token that shows from your LMS. If you are entering the token correctly, ensure that your headset is connected to WiFi. If you still can’t get into the application, completely quit the app on your headset and restart it. Once the app has restarted, try re-entering the token.
