Standalone (i.e. wireless) Headsets

UbiSim is compatible with the following headsets:

It is vital that UbiSim customers use headsets that can access the solutions we create. Currently we only support the devices listed above. The Quests are the newest family of Meta headsets. They can be used wirelessly without the need to tether to a computer.

Meta gives a long notice period before they stop supporting their headsets. UbiSim cannot provide support for hardware that is no longer receiving critical bug fixes from the manufacturer, and as such will follow their support sunset schedule as detailed at the bottom of this page in Appendix 1.

The UbiSim app can be installed by going to the Meta Store, and searching 'UbiSim applab':

Press the UbiSim app icon, then press the blue 'Download' button:

It does not matter whether you choose a headset that has 128 GB or 256 GB of memory. As long as it is a Meta Quest headset, UbiSim will be able to run.

UbiSim is committed to maintaining the highest quality in-headset experiences possible for our customers. As such we will focus our capacity on supporting UbiSim app versions for one year following their release.

If your institution is using a version of the UbiSim app that is more than 1 year old, UbiSim reserves the right to update your institution to the newest available version of UbiSim after giving a minimum of 1 month notice.

UbiSim will no longer provide critical bug fixes and security patches to its oldest versions, effective July 1, 2025, in accordance with the support deprecation schedule at the bottom of this page in appendix 2.

A stable internet connection is needed to use UbiSim.

The internet bandwidth requirements are similar to the standard usage such as browsing the Internet. Only text data and voice data (if the multiplayer mode or the Web View is used) are transferred on the network. The 3D rendering is done on the laptop (PC version) or headset (standalone version) itself and does not impact network traffic.

During a typical 15 minute session, only 50-100 MB of data go through the network if either multiplayer (with voice) or the Web View is used. The data exchanged is mostly voice streaming data and the usage is similar to a Skype call without video.

For multiplayer or Web View, we recommend allocating 100kbps of bandwidth per active VR headset.

UbiSim updates are downloaded through the network and can be up to 800 MB for each new large update but are generally around 50-100 MB.
