Oculus Quest 64GB VR Headset

Product Information

The table has been updated to include new games Myst, Population ONE, Warhammer 40,000 and more. Game Another big draw of the Quest is it's ideal for spaces of all sizes. Firstly that's because you don't need to worry about where it goes, hooking it up to a PC and arranging external sensors. But it also has an excellent 'guardian' safety system. Oculus Quest 2 has access to some of the best virtual reality games that have been made. The range of inventive ideas on display is delightful, and with events like the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase becoming a yearly event we're seeing a healthy cadence of big titles appearing on the system.

However, The Oculus Quest 2 is like any Android device and it does support the ability to plug in an external hard drive. So, you can buy a small USB-C external hard drive and plug it into the charging port on your device and access files. This probably isn’t that comfortable for gaming, but it could be a way to store and access your media files on your Quest 2. And while VR is often accused of being a solitary affair, Oculus has made strong efforts to make using Quest 2 in a group accessible. Like the original Quest, you can use the Google Chromecast screen sharing function within the Quest 2’s menu to allow someone not wearing the headset to watch what you’re up to on a second display like a smartphone or TV. Some games even actively encourage it, with one player taking charge of a role in the real world, while another navigates the VR world presented in the headset. Oculus Quest 2: Software and apps There are hundreds of separately-sold Oculus Quest games– and some free ones too – available to play with the headset, including everything from shooters to puzzle games, fitness titles to meditation apps, there truly is something for everyone, even if levels of quality – and comfort – can vary depending on what you're watching and playing.Otherwise, if you're looking to get the most out of Meta's current headset, we're here to help. We know that Ghostbusters VR is coming to Oculus Quest 2 soon, and Among Us VR is coming to Oculus Quest 2 as well. There's plenty to look forward to, so if you're hoping to use it on PC too, we're here to help. Thanks to Oculus Link, you can play Steam VR games with Oculus Quest 2, and here's our guide on how to connect Oculus Quest 2 to a PC. Using the headset’s external cameras, you’ll be shown a grayscale view of your surrounding environment on screen, in real-time. You’ll then use the controllers like a spray paint can, painting around the edges of your room to show the headset the safe play space you can freely walk about in without bumping into, say, your TV or sofa.

When it comes to processing power, some were a little disappointed when it was first revealed the Quest would be running on a Snapdragon 835 processor. That's because it isn't the latest processor from Qualcomm, but it is a step up from the 821 in the Oculus Go. This is a very good buy and a better value for money compared to Rift, if you compare the ease of use, no wires, but still have the ability to move around And while fierce rivals have appeared in recent years, including the Pico 4, few headsets can compete with Meta’s ever-growing library following acquisitions of the studios behind Beat Saber, Iron Man VR and the Resident Evil 4 port.The Oculus Quest 2 takes everything we loved about the Oculus Quest – the cable-free experience, the strong game library, the ease of use – and improves on it significantly. This is exactly what a VR headset should be: lightweight, powerful and so simple that mainstream adoption becomes less a hope and more an expectation. The reduced price will go quite some way to helping in that regard, too. That’s no bad thing, though, as the Touch Controllers are fantastic. The button placement smartly helps to simulate real-life hand movements, such as squeezing a gun trigger, giving your friends a thumbs up or catching a ball. The buttons feel great to press too and are all easy to reach.

The Oculus Quest 2 is worn on the head, quite a bit like a scuba mask. Where a scuba mask’s window would be, you’ve instead got a padded cavity that houses a pair of goggle-like lenses that sit in front of a screen, giving you stereoscopic 3D visuals. Paired with motion sensors and accelerometers in the headset, you can move your head and see the motions reflected in real-time on the digital screen in front of you as if you were looking out and moving around in the real world. The only other port on the headset is the USB-C slot for charging. There are very few physical buttons on the headset, with the volume control found on the underside and a power button on the right. Being a Mac user, this came with additional issues, as Apple somehow refuses to provide some potent GPU's or a reasonable GPU upgrade path. So I found myself using a Windows machine each time I wanted to play (with nVidia 1060). It has always been an impressive experience though.Another cool thing is the Oculus Quest for your smartphone. It not only gives you easy access to all kinds of settings, the store, your library etc, but ... it also allows you to view what the player is viewing or even cast the video feed to ChromeCast. This is great when wanting to follow a player or when wanting to help out those new to the VR experience. What's more, getting a good, tight fit to ensure the screen appears as clear as possible can be claustrophobic and a little uncomfortable. These base-level issues remain unsolved; for a new generation of hardware, we’d have liked to have seen a wider array of brand-new software to go with it, too. While the Meta Quest 2’s priority is unquestionably gaming, there’s also plenty of social-based experiences, fitness apps and video content from the likes of Oculus TV and YouTube VR. Rec Room is one of the standout social apps, allowing you to meet up with your friends, customise your in-game hubs and challenge friends to various games, including paintball and laser tag. Alongside Vader Immortal, Oculus has confirmed Quest ports for a number of other games, including Superhot VR, The Climb, Face Your Fears, The Unspoken, Robo Recall and Stormlands.

Oculus made the announcement alongside the recall of the foam facial interface announcement where they announced that Oculus Quest 2 users could receive a free silicon cover. Types of Content The Quest has an OLED display panel with 1440 x 1600 per eye resolution. Images on the screen look clear and colorful. Compare this to the PSVR’s 960 × 1080 pixels per eye, which means the Quest's experience is going to look more realistic. The Meta Quest 2 is an excellent all-in-one VR headset, achieving a perfect balance between accessibility and performance. To start. The screen is very sharp. At least for current standards. You're not looking at real life obviously, but it gets the job done and the pixels are hardly noticeable. I cannot say the same for other headsets where the pixels are too noticeable and very distracting, however I feel like a theater experience when watching videos is a great trade-off for a bit more obvious pixels.This is a great upgrade of Oculus Go. The rendering Quality is pretty good, with almost no Dithering. 360 degree photos look awesome especially since you can move around. The Guardian is a bit of a pain since it keeps getting reset. The controllers are different than the ones that come with the Rift as well, and I'd say they are an improvement as well. Linking the Quest to my XBox One controller worked off the bat as well, which I needed since I wanted to sideload Half-Life and Quake (sidequest - sidequestvr.com). Obviously, the old Half Life and Quake games are very low-res, but it was a fun experience anyway as you can move around more freely (compared to "Robo Recall" where you have to jump from one location to the other).
