Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 64GB

Product Information

No, the new VR revolution won’t happen overnight, but Oculus Go signals that it’s coming, and fast. 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 first Oculus Quest made use of dual 1440 x 1600 resolution OLED displays (one for each eye), but the Quest 2 opts for a single LCD panel, split so as to display an 1832 x 1920 pixel resolution per eye. That’s about 50 percent sharper than the original, and while we’d usually prefer the richness of an OLED display, we hardly missed it here. LCD also opens up an improved refresh rate of 90Hz to developers, compared to the original Quest’s 72Hz - with an experimental feature bumping it up to 120Hz. Where supported, it will be a notably smoother experience.

Regardless, the Quest 2 is as comfortable as a VR headset can feasibly be and I found that keeping it in a comfortable position was a simpler task – the reduced weight certainly helps here. The face foam is a little softer, and a little deeper too, although it will still imprint on your face over time. But there are some significant changes that would make an upgrade well worth it if you currently already have the original Quest and you’re considering the Quest 2. The new model offers a more responsive experience overall, thanks to improved RAM and chip specs. It also has a higher resolution display, which is a whole 50% sharper than its predecessor. Combined, these upgrades make the Oculus Quest 2 experience even more seamless and immersive. Oculus Quest 2 isn’t perfect, then – but it’s as close to perfect as VR has come so far and well worth your time, money, and energy if you’ve been looking for an excuse to swap reality for virtual reality. Oculus Quest 2: price and availability If you want to restore your save game, simply reinstall your game and then follow the instructions below:Offering access to both these play scenarios through one headset line is a wise move by Facebook, reducing the amount of hardware it supports. However, as mobile VR now becomes the default for Oculus (not everyone has a gaming PC, after all), we hope that that doesn’t dull the ambitions of developers. We wouldn't want to see apps focus solely on the lower-powered mobile headset and give a cold shoulder to the more powerful made-for-PC experiences that can be achieved. Oculus Quest 2: Accessories

Oculus Quest All-in-one VR Gaming Headset – 64GB

Internally, you can NOT replace the hard drive in the Quest 2 later. The version you buy on day one is the storage size you will have embedded forever.With the greater power of a PC at hand, the Quest is capable of taking advantage of some really impressive adventures, such as the god-stomping Asgard’s Wrath and mind-blowing Lone Echo 2. These are high-end VR adventures with graphical fidelity leagues ahead of the majority of Quest 2’s mobile apps and should be taken advantage of if possible. With a bit of tinkering, you can get the Quest 2 to play VR apps from other stores too, such as Steam VR’s highlight Half Life: Alyx. If you plan on loading media files such as movies, music, or phones on to the headset, then give the 256 GB some series consideration. Movie files in particular can be between 2-10 GB per file, which will use up your space in a hurry. This is the number one reason we would recommend the Quest 2 with more space.

Some have expressed concerns about Facebook’s use of data, while those without Facebook accounts may be reluctant to create one just to enjoy VR. At the end of the day, though, many people use Facebook regularly and will appreciate the simplicity of a single account for multiple services. A microphone is built in too, again clear enough for communicating in multiplayer games and doing some voice searches in the various UI elements of apps that support it. Speech recognition is surprisingly accurate, too. Oculus Quest 2: using itWith such a big difference in hard drive size, should you buy the bigger model? Or, should you put your extra money towards an upgraded elite strap or other Oculus Quest 2 accessories? 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. 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.
