4. Make a meta accoount, and login to the headset, MQDH and Oculus Software.
5. Plug your headset into your computer using the USB cable, select "Allow" on the headset
6. Pair your headset with MQDH and enable developer mode (on both). You might need to create/join an organization, just make a dummy one.

How to try it 🎮

1. Clone the repo
2. On Unity Hub, select Add project and find your local copy of the repo
3. Open the project (this might take a bit the first time)
4. In the hierarchy (left side), find the Cesium3DTileset GameObject under CesiumGeoreference
5. In the URL field, past in your api key at the end of the url like this https://tile.googleapis.com/v1/3dtiles/root.json?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>
6. Save the project with CTRL-S
7. Make sure Quest Link is still enabled. If not try restarting the Oculus software, and/or unpluging and repluging your headset. (Sometimes it bugs and requires a restart of the headset/computer)
8. Click the Play button at the top of the screen and put on the headset.
9. Voila! You're flying above Montreal. The current datasets are Collisions (purple) vs High-traffic intersections (yellow)
10. You can move around by pushing the left joystick forward (will move towards where you're facing), and rotate with the right joystick.
