As you may recall I am Techno challenged so it's possible this feature exists but I haven't found it.
Q:Is there an easy way to switch from VZPlay to VZExplore? When I finish a game in Play I sometimes want to go for a relaxing countryside ride but the only way I've found to get from one VZ to the other is to totally shut down everything and start fresh. I use Oculus GO if that makes a difference.
Suggestion: I had to change the battery in the sensor and found it a bit of a challenge to get it open. Don't know if there's something else that might work besides those 2 little tabs on the side?
Comment: I've tried all the various motivations to get in the exercise I need - you name it, I've tried it - but yours actually works! I look forward to getting in a ride. It's the first thing I do when I get home after work - hit the bike. Thank you!!!
Hi Mary, it's truly great to hear that!
Regarding switching between Play and Explorer, we don't have that now but it's a great idea. It may not be possible since the GO uses a customized OS but we'll try it. At best it'll be able to launch each app from start, not switch seamlessly between them, because the GO only allows one VR app to be running. That'd still be better than finding the hand controller, pressing its home button, quitting one app and launching another.
Depressing the tabs is the only way to get at the Sensor battery. This design kept it as a thin as possible, to fit on the inside of most stationary bike cranks, but agree it's not the easiest. Our preferred method is to hold the lid between your thumb and middle finger, and press one tab with your pointer finger while pulling up gently. When it's off one tab, just slide it back off the other tab.
