On your phone, pop this into your browser: googlehome://assistant/voice/setup This deep-link forces the Google Home app to launch the new Voice Setup UI — the same one Google is reserving for the Gemini transition.

How to use SteamVR with Oculus Go

on
SteamVR allows you to play steam games that support virtual reality and you can use it with the oculus Go thanks to ALVR by developer polygraphene on GitHub 

Download the windows installer and the apk file

Sideload the apk onto your oculus Go

"Note that many PCVR games require 6DoF controller or multiple buttons, so you might not able to play those games. You can find playable games in List of tested VR games and experiences."



Tip: if you're having trouble connecting your headset, try allowing the UDP port 9944 in your firewall settings

Launch ALVR on your PC and then launch the ALVR app on your headset and wait for it to connect 

One of the caveats with the oculus Go is you'll need to start the game directly on your PC via it's desktop shortcut. 



I still haven't tested my gamesir wireless controller. If you have any luck let us know in the comments
