The Oculus Quest 2 just appeared with all details and videos.
What you need to know
- Oculus Quest 2 videos just appeared online.
- The videos show off the new VR headset in its entirety.
- The videos will likely be taken down soon.
Facebook just accidentally leaked a page with details and videos about the Oculus Quest 2. The page includes several videos detailing the new VR headset from Oculus.
According to the page, the Oculus Quest 2 has 6GB of RAM and features a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor. It will deliver an "almost 4K display" with native 2K resolution in each eye.
A video titles "Inside The Headset" explains that the Oculus Quest 2 has 50 percent more pixels than the original Oculus Quest. The same video also explains that there will be a 256GB version of the Oculus Quest 2 and that the headst comes with "updated ergonomics."
The Oculus Quest 2 is smaller and lighter than the original Oculus Quest, though the "Inside the Upgrade" video does not specify by how much.
Since Facebook might take down the videos, we've added a gallery of screenshots from the videos.
In addition to being a standalone VR headset, the Oculus Quest 2 will work with Oculus Link, allowing you to play PCVR games when you attach it to a PC with the correct specs.
The Oculus Quest 2 will play games from the original Oculus Quest according to the leak, but we don't have full details on games on the Oculus Quest 2 at this time.
We don't have a price of the Oculus Quest 2 at this time, though we are still going through all of the pages that have appeared.
This is a developing story, and we will add more details as we go through the videos.
It's not perfect, but I think the Oculus Quest 2 is a good step towards making VR mainstream and accessible for everyone. A lot of the 'downgrades' over the original Quest are not things that regular consumers will care about or notice.
ReplyDeleteMore exciting is the new Snapdragon XR2 vs the old 835 in the Quest 1. Once developers take advantage of the chip in their games, we should see some great improvements.
