You can create a Wi-Fi hotspot via your smartphone, which uses mobile data to connect your computer to the internet. Caution: Monitor your data usage!
Installation
Start Meta Horizon on your PC
Launch Meta Horizon on your laptop. This app establishes the connection between your VR headset and Halocline.

On the left side of the Meta Quest 3, you’ll find the power button. Hold it for 3 seconds to turn on the headset. Once it starts, a startup sound will play and the Meta logo will appear in the headset. When a menu is displayed, the headset has fully started.
Connecting the Headset to your PC (“Quest Link”)
Turn on your headset and connect it to your PC, preferably via USB-C for best performance. Ensure your PC meets the minimum requirements.
Put on your headset. You will be prompted to activate Quest Link. Confirm to establish the connection between PC and VR headset.
If not prompted automatically, locate the controller battery icon at the bottom left. Tap it to open the quick access menu. Select the Quest Link tile, find your computer in the list, and press the start button. This will launch Quest Link.
Tips
Setting up Room Tracking
The headset scans your environment to detect available space. Follow the instructions to define a safe and optimal play area.
If you have limited space, e.g., using VR at a desk, choose Stationary Mode.
If you have more space, use Room-Scale.
To adjust room tracking or floor height, press the Meta button on the controller and go to Guardian Settings.
Startup Sequence
The setup works best if followed in this order:
Launch Meta Horizon on your PC
Turn on the Meta Quest headset
Connect the headset to the PC via USB-C cable
Activate Quest Link in the headset
Wait until the Quest Link space (white room) appears in the headset
Launch the Halocline app
