Work out your way with Meta Quest 2
The First Experience
Setting up the Oculus Quest 2 was incredibly straightforward. I turned it on and it guided me through some simple instructions. I connected my account, mapped out an area of my room as a safe area to move around in, and let it run some updates. It then took me through a brief tutorial on how to fit the headset and use the controls.
I did find myself impressed with how easy it was to start up and go. I’m quite used to the technical issues that can come with setting up a lot of virtual reality headsets and I didn’t find any major ones here. It froze once during setup but started straight back up. I’ve also not experienced it in many hours of use since that first hiccup, so I’ll not hold that against it.
Comfort
The Oculus Quest 2 is not the most comfortable headset in the world, but it is a huge improvement over the original Quest in my eyes and is reasonably good. While lighter than many headsets, it is fairly front-heavy due to being a standalone model. This causes some challenges.
Visual
The Oculus Quest 2 has a resolution of 1832 x 1920 per eye with LCD screens and has recently updated to enable 90Hz to match VR standards, previously having been 72Hz. Some games still do run at the older refresh rate though, having not yet been updated. Most players reports greater eye comfort and less sickness related to VR with a higher refresh rate.
