Reading Time: 3 minutes

The newest product from Facebook has been released some time ago. It is new VR set, that can give even better experience than ever before.

From quest 2 you can expect better quality of sound. In the headset, there are build-in speakers that gives an effect of 3D cinematic sound. It means that you can hear every sound from multiple directions, just like in movie theaters.

As we already know, this is Facebooks product, that’s why we shouldn’t be surprised that quest 2 requires logging in with your Facebook account. But with this feature you can easily connect with your friends or discover other people around the world. But to set up everything, you first need to download an Oculus App that is free. And after those steps you can experience great fun.

Let’s talk a bit about the specification of this product. It has built-in memory, and you can choose if you want 64GB or 256GB. It also has next-level hardware and is PC compatible. To connect your quest 2 to your computer, you need to buy additional The Oculus Link cable, that can give you amazing experience with beautiful graphics and heart-pounding gameplay.

We have a various different games to choose. They are compatible with Quest 2 or are especially made for this product. You can easily purchase them from the same website that you can order VR set.

While ordering this product you get free delivery, Oculus Warranty that cover defects and malfunctions. And if you would order it now you get extended return, which is until January 31, 2021.

Besides ale the great things that this product provides there are some disadvantages, with most of them I agree. I will provide you with just a few of them:

  • Requires a Facebook sign-in
  • You need to pay extra for link cable and better strap
  • Can still cause motion sickness
  • Bad ergonomics of the controllers
  • Only 2-3 hours of battery life
  • Standalone games are still limited by mobile hardware

After all I think this product can be very good one for people that love VR experience while playing games. With some development of the product, in my opinion more people are going to buy it.

So, watch out!

    I think with some more development, like you said people will buy it and not only for playing video games. This can become a great training product for different fields (I think some are already using this type of tech). Also this could be a great alternative to arts institutions(museums, theaters) or even substitute traveling in times like this. Will be interesting to see how far they can take it 🙂

    This looks promising, but honestly I don’t think that VR in it’s current state will get more popular. There aren’t many games for it, and there are far too many disadvantages in using them. But as Maxim said in the previous comment it would be a great alternative to visiting museums.
