Get started with VR headset
The VR headset powers on at the main library displaying the apps and modules loaded on that headset.
To select from the library, hold your hand in front of the headset and make a pinch motion on the icon with your thumb and index finger. To scroll the list, pinch and drag. To access the library later, exit whatever application you are in or select Library.
Axon apps appear in the library and may be installed or modified by a firmware update. If you don't see Axon icons, or if the background is something other than the Axon training room, see the next section.
Initial setup
During initial setup you may see multiple prompts to update the firmware. Select OK to install each update.
To allow apps to automatically download to your headset, connect it to Wi-Fi. If you want to download a Community Engagement Training module, you'll need to manually download each one. For more information, see Manage Community Engagement Training modules.
If no Axon apps appear after all updates have been installed, see the FAQ Why are the Axon VR apps not in my library?
