Oculus has kept that standalone Quest design with the same feature set, while improving its screen, reducing its weight, and - with one noteworthy caveat - making it more comfortable. The Quest 2 is a self-contained headset that’s shipping on October 13th, and it’s an update to Oculus’ 2019 Quest. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks with Oculus’ new Quest 2 headset, though, and that’s very close to changing. But it did expose a simple problem: I really couldn’t recommend a headset that was friendly enough for most people to buy. As someone who writes about virtual reality and has been stuck at home just like many people during the 2020 pandemic, I’ve gotten asked one question over and over: if virtual reality is so great and actual reality is so dangerous, why isn’t everybody turning to VR? This isn’t a totally fair framing, since VR usage has spiked by some measures.
