While announcing the Quest 2, Facebook also announced the upcoming release of the fitness tracker app Oculus Move. Its software has been updated with additional features since its launch. Software Īs with the original Quest, it runs an Android-based operating system. The headset includes physical interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment at 58 mm, 63 mm and 68 mm, adjusted by physically moving the lenses into each position. Its display is a singular fast-switch LCD panel with an 1832×1920 per eye resolution, which can run at a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz (an increase from 1440×1600 per-eye at 72 Hz). The Quest 2 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 SoC (which is part of a Snapdragon product line designed primarily for VR and augmented reality devices), with 6 GB of RAM - an increase of 2 GB over the first-generation model. The strap was changed to a fabric-based version, rather than the elastic-based strap of the Quest. It is lighter than the first-generation Quest, at 503 grams (17.7 ounces) in comparison to 571 grams (20.1 ounces). Its design is similar to the original Oculus Quest, but replacing the black, cloth-covered exterior with white-colored plastic and a black face pad. The Quest 2 received mostly positive reviews as an incremental update to the Quest, but some of its changes faced criticism, including its strap, reduced interpupillary distance (IPD) options, and a new requirement for users to log in with a Facebook account to use the headset and Oculus services. It is a refresh of the original Oculus Quest with a similar design, but with a lighter weight, updated internal specifications, a display with a higher refresh rate and per-eye resolution, and updated Oculus Touch controllers. Īs with its predecessor, the Quest 2 is capable of running as both a standalone headset with an internal, Android-based operating system, and with Oculus-compatible VR software running on a desktop computer when connected over USB or Wi-Fi. In 2021, the 64 GB model of the Quest 2 was replaced by a 128 GB model at US$299, with the same price as the original 64 GB model. The 64 GB release model was priced at US$299, a $100 decrease over the original Oculus Quest. The Quest 2 was officially unveiled on September 16, 2020, during Facebook Connect 7.

It is the successor to the company's previous headset, the Oculus Quest. The Oculus Quest 2 (also known as Meta Quest 2) is a virtual reality (VR) headset created by Facebook Technologies, a division of Meta Platforms.
