After the in-class activity, I made changes based on the feedback I gained. To view the updated version of the project, download the .apk file in this folder titled "Bird View Project Activity Modified.apk". The file titled "Bird View Project Activity.apk" is the original activity.
If you completed any SideQuest activity during project 1, you can skip to step 2!
Download SideQuest onto your personal computer (not within Paperspace)
Go to the above link, you may have to create an account. Select "Get SideQuest" from the lefthand menu.
Download the Sidequest Desktop App for your machine type.
Download this folder onto your personal computer, it contains the .apk file for the activity
To load the .apk files onto our Meta Quest 3, we will need to use Sideloading through SideQuest. You will need to plug your headset into your computer. Make sure your headset is turned on to be discoverable.
Please follow this tutorial to load the .apk file onto your headset.
Note: If you have already used Sidequest and have a project already installed, you may get an error when loading a new file. If this occurs, uninstall the existing project from your applications menu on your headset. Then, try loading the .apk file for this activity into SideQuest.
