The CalcVR app is not designed for the user to move around and will be best viewed in a chair where the user can easily turn around to see things in the 360-degree virtual environment.
Subsection 2.1.3 Get the CalcVR App
You can get the Calc VR App on the Meta Quest Store or the Google Play Store by searching for CalcVR. Because of the size of the CalcVR app, we recommend downloading when connected to WiFi.
We suggest updating any other apps used for VR services (such as Google VR services, Samsung Gear VR services, etc.). For instance, Google VR Services will enable more features and menus when you are setting up your headset. If apps like Google VR services orSamsung Gear VR services is not already on your phone, you do not need to install them.
