The Oculus Quest 2 continues the mission of the Quest series to bring stand-alone VR to the masses. Compared to its predecessor, Quest 2 has 50% more pixels, better battery life, faster processing, more memory, and starts $100 cheaper. The headset is 10% lighter than the Quest's, though the controllers are slightly larger. Add-ons like the Elite Strap and Fit Pack are intended to improve ergonomics for players with differently-sized facial features.<ref name=”one”>https://about.fb.com/news/2020/09/introducing-oculus-quest-2-the-next-generation-of-all-in-one-vr/</ref>
The Oculus Quest 2 is the first of the Oculus headsets to experiment with multi-user support and app sharing. You can share your apps with 3 accounts beyond your own. Each user must log in to their own Facebook account to play. App sharing is not automatically possible for all games made before this feature was deployed.[2]<ref name=”two”>https://about.fb.com/news/2021/02/share-your-oculus-quest/</ref>
__TOC__
The Oculus Quest 2 started shipping in October 2020. It is available worldwide through global and regional companies. For the first time, you can purchase a Quest product from Japan, too. This will soon be the only Oculus headset available for purchase; Facebook announced they will focus on stand-alone VR headsets moving forward. Facebook will stop selling the Oculus Rift S as well as Quest in 2021 but will continue to support their platforms.<ref name=”one”></ref>
It's been noted that the distrust of Facebook's data practices could negatively impact the sale of Quest 2, now that you must log in with a Facebook account and as it becomes the sole headset available from Oculus.[4]<ref name="four">https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2020/9/16/21437762/oculus-quest-2-review-virtual-reality-vr-facebook-oculus-power-resolution-tracking</ref>
==Hardware==
The Oculus Quest 2 comes with a wireless HMD, built-in speakers, two Touch controllers, USB-C charging cable, power adapter, and spacer for glasses. Depending on the version you purchase, you can store 64 GB or 256 GB on your device. The Quest 2 uses the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ XR2 Platform which enables a more expansive virtual world along with high-fidelity sound. The Touch controllers may last up to 4 times the battery life of the previous generation.[1,3]<ref name=”one”></ref> <ref name="three">https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/</ref>
The Oculus Quest 2 comes with a head strap, softer than the plastic band of the Quest. This makes the headset more comfortable.[4]<ref name="four"></ref>
It comes with 4 cameras, like the Quest, as well as comparable hand-tracking capabilities.[6]<ref name="six">https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-quest-2-review-better-in-almost-every-way/2/</ref>
===Specifications===
==Setup Tutorial==
You can adjust the IPD of the lenses with 3 built-in settings.[5]<ref name="five">https://uploadvr.com/oculus-quest-2-specs/</ref>
The Quest 2 comes with what Facebook calls Guardian and Passthrough. The Guardian enables you to draw borders for your play zone while the Passthrough alerts you when you have done just that, passed through your boundary.[7]<ref name="seven">https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/</ref>
==Input Devices==
===Elite Strap===
The Elite Strap is a head strap you can use instead of the factory default. It provides additional comfort and allows you to twist a wheel to secure your fit. The Elite Strap with Battery extends your play time, in addition to improving ergonomics.[4,7]<ref name="four"></ref><ref name="seven"></ref>
The Elite Strap can even withstand a more passionate playing session.[4]<ref name="four"></ref>
===Logitech Headphones===
Facebook partnered with Logitech to make headphones better suited for VR, an alternative to the Oculus Quest 2's built-in speakers. Logitech produced two models with shorter auxiliary cables for a less clunky play, compared to standard headsets. One model is Logitech G333 VR In-Ear Headphones, and the other is Logitech G PRO VR, over-ear headphones.[5]<ref name="five"></ref>
===Oculus Link===
===Face Fit Masks===
You can purchase masks to improve the fit of your headset. Facebook's Fit Pack is intended for players with nose bridges or cheekbones that don't fit as well in the standard set up.[4,8]<ref name="four"></ref><ref name="eight">https://www.oculus.com/accessories/quest-2-fit-pack/</ref>
