Facebook's Oculus launches Quest 2 VR Headset at $299

 










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.
