Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 64GB

Product Information

The elite strap is also a solid add-on, but you'd be better off saving up and getting the strap with battery upgrade instead. Strap the Quest 2 to your face and you’ll be peering into a single fast-switch LCD panel with a combined resolution of 3,664 x 1,920 – or 1,832 x 1,920 per eye. 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. While this is cheaper than the original entry-level Oculus Quest model launched it's more expensive than the Quest 2 has been previously.

At the end of the day, though, many people use Facebook regularly and will appreciate the simplicity of a single account for multiple services. I would prefer a standard IPD slider but at least the option is there – the Rift S inexplicably reduced IPD adjustment to a virtual setting. Speakers are built into the headset’s strap supports, offering directional left and right stereo sound. Other than hard drive storage size, there is no difference between these three versions of the Quest 2. Not only does this display have the highest resolution of any Oculus product ever, but it also refreshes at 90Hz, which makes a noticeable difference to how fluid gaming or app usage looks on-screen.You’ll turn on the headset after its first charge, and be showed a few safety clips, and a very short intro video that introduces you to controllers and how their wand like point-and-trigger system can be used to navigate menus. Getting a VR headset set up can be a painful affair –there’s usually loads of wires to plug in, and external sensors to arrange. The second point to note about wearing Oculus Go is that its weight distribution is very much in the front. There’s lots to love about the new Quest, but if you’re an owner of the original model, you shouldn’t feel left too far behind by the introduction of this new version.

With set up out of the way, you’re into the Oculus menu system, which sits like a floating panel over your customizable ‘Oculus Home’ environment, a bit like a virtual living room. Here you’ll know the limit of safe play space, and if you stick your head through the digital wall, you’ll again see your real-world environment.At the time the company explained that this new device will be home to groundbreaking technology that aims to help establish the earliest days of its ambitious 'metaverse'. While the number of games using it remains limited, it's so intuitive that we're sure we'll see it used more and more in the future. With a paltry 64 GB, this digital soothsayer is endowed with the profound capability to redefine our perceptions, catalyzing a metamorphosis of self into a being not confined by the strictures of physicality. The Quest 2 will run for between two and three hours and takes two-and-a-half hours to charge from empty, which is only a little better than the Quest. And yet, while Quest 2 is the most accessible and feature-rich VR headset we’ve tested to date, it still falls foul of some of the same pitfalls that virtual reality as a whole suffers from.
