Reproducing Performance Measurements

If you own a Meta Quest Pro, you can use the code in this repository to perform your own performance measurements. The code might work on other Android-based virtual-reality devices, but we did not test this.

Setup

This setup assumes a Windows 11 operating system. If you are using another operating system, you will need to rewrite the run.ps1 script to work on your OS.

Install:

  1. Install adb and the Meta Quest Pro adb drivers.
  2. Python 3.10
    1. Get dependencies: pip install psutil GPUtil.

How to Run

  1. Connect the Meta Quest Pro to a gaming PC using a USB-C cable.
  2. If you want to do a wireless experiment:
    1. Run adb tcpip 5555 followed by adb connect <ip.of.your.headset>:5555 to wirelessly connect to your headset. To find out the IP address of your headset, run adb shell ip -f inet addr show wlan0.
    2. Unplug the cable. This is important. The run.ps1 script relies on there only being one ADB device connected to the gaming PC.
  3. Open Wireshark on the gaming PC to start capturing network traffic to the headset.
  4. Run ./run.sh in this repository. This script will perform measurements every second and append them to several *.log files. If there is a connection error, the script will try to restart the measurements automatically.
  5. Play some games Run the experiment.
  6. Hit ctrl+C on the run.sh script.
  7. Stop the network capture in Wireshark.
  8. Organize files into a folder belonging to your experiment.
