Home Button Behavior

The intended behavior of clicking the home button on controllers when devices are configured to ArborXR Home.

Written by Josh Franzen

Behavior on Non-Meta Quest Devices

On non-Meta Quest devices, ArborXR Home includes a quick access menu that appears on pressing the home button in either:

  1. The right hand controller.

  2. On the headset.

This pauses the running app until Resume is selected and gives users access to allowed settings.

Selecting Go To Home will quit the running app and return users to ArborXR Home's main app menu.

Behavior on Meta Quest Devices

On Meta Quest devices, pressing the home button will open Meta's pause menu with options to Resume, to resume the paused app, or Quit, which will return the user to the ArborXR Home launcher.


From Meta's pause menu you can click on Quick Settings (bottom left hand corner represented by time, Wi-Fi, and battery) to open Meta's settings menu.

This menu provides access to useful settings such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Casting, and USB Debugging. Meta's quick settings menu is locked down and does not let users escape to the Meta Home environment.
