Quest 1 Development

Development Platform & Builds XR Development
1

Hello,

I’m diving into XR development using Unreal Engine and have an old Quest 1 on hand. I figured it would be prudent to validate my project idea on this hardware before committing to more modern hardware. The project should run smoothly on a Quest 1 with proper optimization, allowing me to focus on higher-end hardware for release.

However, I’m encountering difficulties running Meta sample projects on the Quest 1. There are several variables to consider: Unreal Engine version, Meta XR Plugin version, Android NDK version, Android SDK target version, project settings, etc. Yet, I’m unable to locate a reliable source providing the necessary parameters ensuring compatibility with the Quest 1 (or any other Quest model). I’m seeking a comprehensive list of the latest versions for these parameters tailored to each Quest model.

So far I’ve followed the Meta docs for setting up a project in unreal engine 5.3: Creating Your First Meta Quest VR App in Unreal Engine: Unreal | Oculus Developers but even though the app loads I only see three loading dots in the screen.

Any guidance or resources on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Keianhzo, Welcome to the Forums.

The first thing I’d check is what the logs are saying when you see the ‘3 dots’.

In Unreal you can go to Window → Device Output Log → Select your Quest in the lower left.

There’s also software from Meta to see the logs.

It’s been a while since I’ve deployed anything to the Quest, I like to think that this doc should have info that matches what version of the engine you’re using. I’d also give a few recent ‘Deploying to Quest with Unreal Engine’ youtube videos a watch to see if there’s anything you’re missing.
