Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 64GB

Product Information

META QUEST IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/removable-facial-interface-alert. The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset is the second version of the Quest headset range. It’s similar to the original Oculus Quest in that it’s a battery-powered, standalone headset that allows you to freely roam around your physical and digital play spaces without fear of tripping over a wire. But, the potential is there for word of mouth to spread, for individuals to try a Go on in a store (Best Buy in the US is setting up in-store Oculus Go demo stations) and think, ‘Yes, this is something I can get into’, for parents and peers to buy one as a gift for birthdays or Christmas for less than the price of other headsets. There are multiple types of content and which ones you plan on using determines which Quest 2 model you should get between the 64 vs vs 128 vs 256 GB. 128 GB Version

What's more, where the Quest 2 is concerned developers now have the option to make their games run at 90Hz and even 120Hz (this is important for increased comfort and even more realism while playing), and the headset itself is noticeably lighter than before, with double the battery life in the controllers. One thing that standalone VR still hasn’t quite mastered is battery life. 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. It’s a good thing VR gaming isn’t the sort of thing you want to do for long periods at a time. Some people are really bothered by light leakage in VR as it breaks the immersion. Other users are able to ignore it after awhile, or are otherwise not too perturbed by it.It’s games like Coaster Combat where the Oculus Go controller shines because it goes beyond simply selecting things and becomes a part of the virtual world you’re seeing before your eyes. So now that you know the facts, which size of Oculus Quest 2 between the 64 vs 128 vs 256 GB do you need? Overall, the Oculus Quest 2 game sizes are a bit larger than the original Quest. This makes sense, since the new Snapdragon XR2 processor handle more sophisticated shaders and textures. Whether games sizes are TOO big depends greatly on your usage habbits. Are there any other differences between the 64, 128 and 256 GB Oculus Quest 2? 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.

No, the new VR revolution won’t happen overnight, but Oculus Go signals that it’s coming, and fast. 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 it The second point to note about wearing Oculus Go is that its weight distribution is very much in the front. It rests right on your upper cheekbones, and once you’ve worn it for awhile, an achiness starts to set in, like you’ve been holding a smile for too long. If you want to restore your save game, simply reinstall your game and then follow the instructions below:If you plan on playing strictly games on your headset, the 128 GB version is probably fine for you. Most games are under 3 GB per game so far. Even if you have the biggest known game, The Walking Dead, you can still load about 15 other titles without worry. This is more than most people will actively play at one time. We can expect that game sizes will increase in the future as developers take advantage of the extra power in the Quest 2 headset. Even so, we think that 128 GB is enough space for most. 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

As a piece of VR hardware, the experience on hand with Go is almost as good as the Oculus Rift. You won’t mistake one for the other, but we have been continually impressed with how good Go’s VR is, especially considering everything needed to run the headset is contained in a little gray box that sits on your face. 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. If you have a beefy PC set up and a decent-sized budget you could try the Valve Index. This headset's more impressive specs allow it to deliver some great VR experiences, though you will miss out on the Quest 2's exclusive library of games like Resident Evil 4 VR. Right now, we're still awaiting further news on Meta's next two headsets, Project Cambria and Oculus Quest 3 (also known as the Meta Quest 3). In the meantime thought, we've seen some unusual accessories being developed for the existing Quest 2 headset, including one which suffocates you to better simulate firefighting in virtual reality. Meta Quest: *Parents:* Important guidance and safety warnings for children's use here. Meta accounts for ages 10+ on Meta Quest 2 and 3; all other Meta Quest headsets for ages 13+. Certain apps, games and experiences may be suitable for a more mature audience.

The most obvious question when comparing the Oculus Quest models is how big are the games. We’ll focus on the official Oculus store titles, which are generally a higher file size than anything found on SideQuest. 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.

Meta Quest 2: Our Most Advanced New All-in-One VR Headset

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.Our favorite is by far the Quest 2 strap with battery. Not only is it the best way to extend the battery life of your Oculus Quest 2, but the weight of the battery makes the headset feel less front-weighted, improving comfort.
