Let's give some appreciation to the horizontal position of the USB-C this go around, making it much less awkward for most 90-degree connectors (like the official Link cable). Granted, it's likely mostly for the convenience of the Elite Strap+Battery, but will be a boon for Link users, as well.

A good piece of advice: Wait. Wait a few months, and see, what follows up with it. I own a Quest, and I also considered upgrading, but it's always best to wait it out.

How are the black levels of the Quest 2 compared to the Rift S or Valve Index? I thought the Rift S was very bad. The Index isn't great, but much better than Rift S. Also for FOV. Since it is one screen like the Rift S, does it have that very square FOV or a little more rounded like Quest 1?

The thing that might make a big difference on that front would be the XR2 chip might do better composition once, it's optimized, but it's using the same cable as the original quest, so it might not make a huge difference. Another question I'd have is if they can do some of the processing on the XR2 chip, so less processing is required on the pc.

[@uncutfishing]

@@chukah9484 It could be that the Chinese will be the first in line to pick up the consumers Facebook drops with their bulldozer-like FB promotion strategy, which lets them hand these new sets out at, I don't know, half the price.. Pico already have somewhat similar headsets Pico Neo 2 and Neo 2 Eye (with eye tracking), but they are "business oriented" (read: much more expensive ;)). However, I would keep en eye on their software store on pico-interactive.com. They are currently selling some very good 3DOF games that are also available for Oculus Go like Eqqo or Deadalus, but their 6DOF lineup is weak. I suppose this is because their 6DOF headsets are very new and, ahem, "business oriented", while their 3DOF headsets have been around for a while. But how this app store develops over time will be a very good indicator of their potential in this field. Basically, if they want a piece of this, they now must talk with all those game production companies and convince them to port for them or, better yet, develop exclusives. I suppose Chinese companies would be more willing to make exclusives for them, but are there any really strong Chinese development companies able of producing a AAA VR game right now? Anyways, I am rooting for European tech companies which are also in it, but at the moment they are behind the first two, it appears. Overall, I think now the race is on for who produces a considerably smaller device first. Half a kilo box cannot put mobile VR into the mainstream, imho. I think that's why companies like Apple seem to be indifferent to what Facebook is doing with these headsets. On the other hand, they cannot be indifferent to Facebook AR glasses project.. That could be where big money really is.

[@chukah9484]

@@uncutfishing yeah I imagine it will take that lighter/ more portable AR glasses product by apple to really push the VR adoption into the mainstream space as apple will always have that cult-like following in the mainstream. I hope that apple is waiting for it to be very slim and practical for early adopters so that those AR glasses aren't DOA and prevent VR growth. Those apple customers adopting and slowly introducing people into AR from a practical standpoint will be much more beneficial for VR. Ultimately you are right. Whomever has the most portable headset or best games/software support is what will dominate marketshare. Who ever can keep their OS more open and give developers more tools will likely see the win on the software side and gain a lot of customer favor. Still VR in the mainstream still feels like many years away especially with the graphic fidelity that modern desktops are achieving these days. We need a much larger software library for VR before its practical and its a pity that currently AAA developers are avoiding VR as that market is so small it isn't worth the investment to them vs desktop. With how far away VR is from competing with desktop it feels like Elon Musks neuralink will beat VR headset development. I'm hoping in the more near future Arm+NvidiaGPU chip designs will advance VR headsets closer to x86 desktops and that hype train hardware wise I could see getting more VR / development adoption.

@@rblxmach People need to stop this "4k" or "higher than Index resolution" argument. The Quest never reached it's full resolution and neither will the Quest 2. In stand alone mode it's bottlenecked by the chipset and with Link it's bottlenecked by the low compression bitrate. You will never even get close to the full resolution. Lens and panel quality is way more important and PCVR headsets run at the full panel resolution because they have actual displayports, that's why the Index still has way better image quality than 8k VR headsets. John Carmack himself said that it will take years for a good chipset to come out that will support Quest 2 resolutions. Same reason why he said that the Oculus Go actually has the best image quality out of all Oculus headsets. It's the same problem with console and PC specs, everyone wants to be an expert but just blindly focus on the price and don't understand the actual specs.

[@catariinapaula5116]

He can help you get yours

[@riseofthethorax]

In the Ars Technica review, the author said he had to lodge the ipd between two settings to get a clear view, also he said you had to change the head strap everytime you put the headset on. And this guy missed it, the controllers contain less infared tracking lights. This is me: If you've looked through the passthrough in a quest 1, you can see the tracking lights on the controllers light up every now and then, I imagine the cameras are of a higher frequency and so are the lights, and the correlate the locations of the lights they see to determine where the controllers are in 3D space, if you use less lights the accuracy will be less, and the location must be correct or your hands would shake a bunch. You know that if you put your hands behind your head on the Quest 1, the tracking is lost but you can still orient them, so the hands fly away, until you shake the controllers in front of the headset and tracking returns. I wonder if the Rifts do it different because of the monitors.

I'm finally getting a Quest 2! Woohoo! I wasn't able to get the 1st one but the second one is easier to get and I'm getting it as a present for Xmas and my birthday. Finally! Now i'm gonna run out my window from the 3rd floor of my apartment building with a headset on! 😍😍😍

The fabric head strap is probably lighter than the Quest 1's, wouldn't that be the cause of the weight difference? Not necessarily the headset part?

This is the first video that I've seen from you and I'd like to say thank you lol In my opinion, I think that Quest 1 is better because it will take a bit for all the games on it to be available on Quest 2, but I can see why people would like Quest 2 more.

[@kwedl]

I just hope the whole "it has higher resolution than Index" argument will stop soon. The Quest never reached it's full resolution and neither will the Quest 2. In stand alone mode it's bottlenecked by the chipset and with Link it's bottlenecked by the low compression bitrate. You will never even get close to the full resolution. Lens and panel quality is way more important, that's why the Index still has way better image quality than 8k VR headsets. John Carmack himself said that it will take years for a good chipset to come out that will support Quest 2 resolutions. Same reason why he said that the Oculus Go actually has the best image quality out of all Oculus headsets. I wish they would offer a version that costs 50 dollars more with a display port option.

The FOV is identical to the Rift S. Though they made the headset smaller, they also designed the lens to fit closer to the eyes, enabling a larger field of vision than previous builds.

It seems irresponsible not to mention something that critical to the headsets function, something which also has a chance to significantly worsen the future of VR. As a VR enthusiast, I would assume you care about the future of VR. Why haven't you mentioned this at all? It seems very misleading to recommend the headset without a disclaimer that you have to allow facebook to record and track your activity and words in VR. Please do better.
