Oculus Quest 2 Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset (128GB)

## Pros:- Cheap, Meta is selling at this price probably at a loss to attract more people. 128GB for around 33-35k is a great price.- Relatively higher resolution compared to a non-existent competition in this price range.- The quality of sensors is top notch. The tracking is extremely accurate.- It's relatively lightweight and can run off battery which means no cables. Very convenient and definitely the future direction.## Areas for improvement:- The displays could use OLED for better blacks. Though using OLED will hurt longevity so this one gets a pass. Currently blacks are like gray and that is something you will notice if you look for it.- The resolution could use an improvement. Again, it's an extremely competitive resolution for the price, but since it's so close to your eyes, even this feels pixelated and low res. It's early VR tech so expect that to improve with time.- The battery life is barely 2 hours on a full charge depending on what you're viewing. It's reasonably good, but in the future we could be looking at more efficient devices.- There should be a OS level simulated way to rotate when sitting still. It's tedious to have to get up just to rotate to other side of a 360 degree video. Allow simulating that via controls or something on OS level.- The headset strap is not comfortable for long wearing sessions. I should not have to spend more money to get a better quality strap. Wearing this device is a primary function and you shouldn't have to buy an accessory to make it better, regardless of the price. Only possible con I an think of, but it gets a pass this time.- On a related note, as this tech gets better, I expect components to shrink and this to get lighter and sleeker.- Would be nice to not have to create a Facebook account for this, but let's be honest, that's why they're selling this at a loss. To collect more customers and collect your data to target ads at you. That's how they make money, by selling ads and services.- Remotely installing apps from mobile is a hit or a miss. Most times it doesn't start downloading and I have to manually trigger app downloads. I think it's a temporary bug which they can easily fix.## Other notes:- Use Firefox reality browser. Way better than default and support ad blocking, multiple window and is also far more convenient and reliable with Web XR experiences.- Give Oculus TV a try. It's like YouTube VR but the interface is much nicer and the recommendations are also extremely good.- You can cast your Oculus view to your phone. This is super convenient when showing this to a friend or family member. Just cast to your phone so that you have a sense of what your friend/family member is seeing and guide them accordingly.## Summary:Great stuff honestly. Making VR affordable (regardless of the intentions) also opens it up to more developers across the world and that will only help give us better VR experiences over time. Looking forward to develop some WebXR and native oculus experiences using this.

I was skeptical before buying this one as many had reviewed about blurriness and not enough IPD. Here is my experience:Pros.:1) Just amazing clarity in vision and sound. Really immersive, takes you into a whole new world.2) Wireless. The big advantage of being able to play standalone games and pcvr via wifi.(You will need pcvr ready pc and wifi 6 though if you are thinking about pcvr otherwise there would be lot of lag). I don't play pcvr much and standalone games are great.3)Hand tracking is great feature. It's rather in experimental stage in my opinion as not many games or app use it but it will be popular in near future.4)Cheaper than other VR consoles. Even with great features, the price is reasonable.Cons.:1) the face interface could definitely use better foam and leather or synthetic covering.2) I have 3d printer so I got my self strap support for free which made it really comfortable to use. For those who don't have 3d printer, finding good quality elite strap would be a hassle and extra cost. Company could have provided that.3)Facebook login. You have to use fb account to use all the features of console. I think that could have been avoided, but we are already using Google account for everything in our phones so our privacy is already compromised. Still if you don't want to use your main fb account, you make a new fb account and sign in via that one.4) The device has lot of potential for great AR use, but due to laws and set limitations there is not much development in AR and VR section.5) Though there are games available on sidequest to play for free, company should have made a few free games of their own rather than limiting to "first steps". You also need to take cost of buying games into account. But as I said there is a lot of free stuff on sidequest to keep you engaged.So overall I would recommend this to those who can accept the limitations of the device. And yes before buying, please check your inter pupillary distance (IPD), so that you know if it is OK for you to buy or not.
