Connection via Oculus Link
Connection via Oculus Link
I've been eager to try VR for a while now, so I decided to purchase a quest. However, I need to connect it to my computer, but I don't have a USB-C output. I also can't locate any HDMI to USB-C adapters; only USB-C to HDMI are available for phones and Chromebooks. If you know of any alternatives or solutions, that would be really helpful. Thanks!

Link functions as a streaming service. The headset remains disconnected from your GPU directly. Your GPU handles the processing and sends results back to the headset, which manages the interaction and relays commands. I've tested it with Fallout 4 VR, Skyrim VR, No Mans Sky, and Elite Dangerous—it performs well. In a few weeks I'll see how it handles Star Wars Squadrons. Most USB 3 ports seem to work fine.
