Facebook has launched the next generation
of Oculus Quest VR headset this week. The Quest 2 gets a bunch
of improved features and still gets a price tag of $299 (Rs 21,827 approximately). The
popular Quest VR headset successor was initially planned to launch by the end
of 2020. However, it seems the company has managed to meet the deadline.
Quest 2 comes powered the
Snapdragon XR2 platform. Qualcomm has built this platform specifically for virtual
reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices. And it is claimed to improve
the overall performance of the Quest 2 headset. The device also gets 6GB
RAM to offer better VR visuals, something that has seen a gradual evolution
over the years.
The display on the Quest 2 supports 1832
x 1920 pixels resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate. But Facebook mentioned
that during the launch, the support is limited to 72Hz refresh rate since not
all applications can make use of the higher refresh rate. In terms of the
design, Quest 2 gets some much needed attention. VR headsets should ideally be
comfortable to wear for a longer duration. And the Quest 2 accommodates those
needs with its lighter design, helping it reduce the weight by 10 percent. On
the headset, there is a soft-touch strap, that will allow users to experience
VR without any discomfort. Oculus pointed out the controllers with
the Quest 2 can last up to hours longer than its predecessor.
