What is VR?
A system of motion-tracking infrared base stations, controllers, and a headset
With advanced programming it allows you to visit, interact, and create in a virtual space
You will be using an HTC Vive Pro 2 with SteamVR to launch games
If you want to use the VR, you must promise to follow these rules:
Setting Up
Grab a cleaning wipe and wipe down the headset face mask, nose piece, earpads, and controllers
Turn on the LINK BOX
Unplug and turn on controllers (hold the button by the charging light until it beeps and turns GREEN)
Open SteamVR in the top right of the desktop
Once all parts show up BLUE, open Car Mechanic VR
Put on the headset
Use the teleport tool instead of walking around
Cleaning Up
TURN OFF THE LINK BOX
Hang up the headset on the 2 middle hooks
Plug in controllers and hang blue straps on outer hooks
turn on link box
SteamVR all parts are blue
