    Hey,

    I know this is somewhat unconventional, but I'd like to be able to shut down and reboot the VR headset itself (Oculus Quest 2) from inside my app builds. The idea is to do away with browsing menus or quitting the app manually. Is that possible at all? If so, how would I go about achieving this? I'm using Unity 2021.3 LTS and my headset is up to date.

    Assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I don't think this is possible. You can exit the app, but not the device

    Yeah, I figured access to headset power from an inside an app would be considered a security issue. Still, that would be super useful for kiosk-like setups.

    For such projects headsets such as pico neo 3 (link) might be a better fit

    Your app needs the reboot permission in order to do that. I don't think your app will be allowed to get it.
