How to height glitch in gym class vr?

If you are looking for different ways to adjust your height on the Quest 2 (appear taller or shorter in VR), then you have arrived at the right place!

The most common reason why you might want to change your height in VR is when you are playing games while being seated or lying down but you want to appear as if you were actually standing (reach and interact with objects comfortably)

The easiest way to change your height on Quest 2 is to enable the “Adjust Height” functionality from the headset accessibility settings. This will raise your height in VR and you allow you to play most games normally while being seated or lying down

Let’s explore this and also some other methods for adjusting your height in VR in more detail!

Did you hear? Facebook (Meta) is going all-in on virtual reality and the metaverse. Get a Quest 2 headset and be a part of the future of entertainment!

The Quest 2 launched with no official method to modify your height in VR. This caused a lot of complaints and luckily Meta took notice of the users’ feedback and implemented a way to change the height from the headset settings.

Follow these steps to enable the “Adjust Height” functionality from Quest 2 settings:

Enabling the “Adjust Height” functionality on your Quest 2 will raise your height in VR by approximately 4 feet (~1.2m for those accustomed to the metric system). This then is an excellent way to significantly improve your VR experience if you want to (or have to) play while being seated.

I have tested the functionality with numerous different games and it works perfectly, allowing you to interact with your surroundings and objects in VR pretty much as if you were standing.

For this method to work you will need “developer mode” enabled on your Meta Quest 2. Don’t worry, it might seem daunting at first, but it’s really very quick and easy.

Assuming that you have developer mode enabled, do the following steps to trick the headset into adjusting your game height based on your actual needs.

Disabling the guardian and then toggling tracking off (which results in 3DoF tracking) causes the headset to readjust your head position (and height).  When you re-enable the tracking in the final step it won’t readjust your height anymore (due to the guardian being turned off).

I personally tested this method by playing “Beat Saber” while being seated down and it successfully lowered the blocks to where they usually would be when standing up and I could comfortably enjoy the game.

This method will make the Quest 2 think you are higher than you actually are by artificially lowering the floor level in the guardian/floor setup.

In order for this method to work, you will need someplace that is slightly lower than your actual playing area. For example, if you are on the second floor of your house, then you could use the stairs that go down. If you have a porch in your house, that will probably work as well.

The idea here is that when you are setting up the guardian and more specifically the floor level, go ahead and place one of the controllers in a lower place (compared to your play area). Hold on to the other controller,  move back to your playing area and complete the floor adjustment setup.

Since one of the controllers is placed lower than the actual play area, it will trick the Quest 2 into thinking the floor level is lower than it actually is, thus raising your height in the games.

Do some testing with this method to find the optimal balance in terms of height and playability for the game you want to enjoy.

This solution is based on the same objective as the one described in the last method. We will be trying to lower the floor level but with a slightly different approach.

Go to the guardian and floor height setup. Now when setting the floor level, take a crouching stance and swing your arms towards (but past) the floor. Be really careful not to hit your controllers against the floor as you actually just need to swing past the ground.

The goal here is for the headset to lose tracking of your controllers when you are near the end of the swing and just about to approach the floor.

The Oculus Quest 2 uses predictive algorithms and models to estimate where your controllers might be next even when tracking is lost. When the headset loses tracking of your controllers at the right time (in the middle of the swing) it will project that the controllers ended lower than the actual floor level.

The whole process is also explained and described in the following Youtube video:

I tested this out myself and after some initial failed attempts, I was able to successfully trick the headset into lowering the floor level and thus raising my height within games.

Try this method out and see if it will also work for you.

Some games are just far more suitable for short people or playing while seated than other games. Oftentimes it’s the nature of the game itself (e.g racing games vs first-person shooters). Some games on the other hand recalibrate your height when loading or let you choose “Seated mode” from the settings.

I have previously written an article about games that are suitable for playing seated.  If you don’t find anything suitable from my list, be sure to also check out the following Reddit threads where people share their preferences and experiences:

You are sure to find examples of games from different genres which are comfortable to play if you are shorter or you need to play while being seated. Test some of them out and see what works best for you,

And that’s it! I hope this article was useful and helped you improve your upcoming VR experiences.

Gym Class is one of the most popular VR basketball games on the Meta Quest App lab, the game has crossed over a million downloads. As the world is approaching AR/VR technology, more and more innovations are taking place, and developers are expanding the efficiency and capabilities and finding new and new real-life as well as practical usages of such technology.

The game supports Quest and Quest 2 headsets. Practice shooting, passing, and dunking at your home and play online for up to 8 hours. The game lets you connect with up to 8 players and supports multiplayer mode. It is developed by IRL Studios Inc and was released on 26th January 2021.

Since its release, the game has seen good progress and crossed almost a million downloads this month. 92% of the users have given a 5-star rating to this game. The game lets you play basketball from your room itself, no need to go out in the rain and snow when you got a basketball court in your room.

The investment was provided by Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital firm to further develop the game.

Gym class VR is available at Meta’s App lab, connects players from all over the world in virtual reality, and lets them compete with each other, it lets the player use their real-life basketball skills in the virtual world.

IRL Studios Co-founder says, “Our goal is to build a digital sport and create digital basketball superstars”, It seems like they are one step closer to their goal now. The game has amassed over 64 million views on TikTok from the players who share in-game content on their social media handles.

The future of social networks is games, virtual worlds, digital sports, etc as per the opinion of Andrew Chen, one of the partners in Andreessen Horowitz. He further added that Gym class is the dawn of digital sports, It has the right path and the right team behind it to work upon the social VR and realize its true potential.

The game was developed by a group of basketball-loving friends who were involved in the tech industry, the initial version was a result of their side gig, the game was developed in 2020 with a goal to recreate the Basketball game in VR.

Social products are becoming less social these days though social media is supposed to bring people together says Katsen. And with the same vision, the team started working on this interesting project as a side gig, developed Gym Class VR in 2020, and had a prototype the following year.

The game supports multiple modes once the user enters the game, there is a shootout mode, passing drills, or playing in an open court. To play with friends and people across the world, there’s an option for ‘Public court’, which supports one on one and three vs three. The customization of the avatar is possible as well.

In conventional basketball video games, the player is usually sitting on a couch, relaxing and playing games, whereas in VR the player actually needs to mimic the basketball move and use joysticks in order to play. Hence it will keep the user physically fit and active while enjoying the game.

The game is available for free on Meta AppLab and has 92% 5star ratings. With this funding, they plan to invest in new features and grow the community, says the founder. Soon this game will be launched over the Oculus store.
