The Quest 2 now for gaming and fitness
The Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone, wireless headset, making it easier to use. At about Sh30,000 – minus tax, it is the most affordable consumer VR headset in the industry.
The Quest 2 runs on a new chip specifically made for VR, the Snapdragon XR2. It poses a massive upgrade in both resolution and refresh rates.
However, the display changed from OLED to LCD, which was slightly a bummer for the black levels and screen latency, but great for screen door effect and frame rate at a lower cost.
The XR2 chip gives better running games with prettier graphics, and more intricate mechanics are available compared to Quest 1. Games run great at even 90Hz and sometimes even 120Hz, even though it isn’t always smooth with the latter. 
The headset and controller tracking is still good even after a year. Aside from this, the XR2 allows many more features, such as major software updates that change the headset altogether.
The Oculus Link and Air Link make it possible to play Stream VR games using a VR-ready PC, and not only via a cable, but also wirelessly using a good Wi-Fi connection.
PC VR streaming not only enlarges your content library with hundreds of more games, but also enables you to play VR games wirelessly, even when sacrificing graphics because of streaming artefacts.
The hand tracking feature lets you use the headset controller-free, which adds a magical effect if you play like a wizard.
Beyond a gaming device, Meta started pushing the headset as a fitness machine with Oculus Move, a built-in software to estimate your calorie burn based on your movement and the game you are playing.
One annoying consequence of getting so many massive updates quickly is that the software seems buggier. The headset keeps freezing on many occasions, more than previous, but a restart would solve the problem.
The only games to look forward to are those that don’t have release dates yet, like Resident Evil, Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell VR.
The build quality of the headset is good. It may experience slight scratches, but nothing major. The speakers are just fine, but it’s advisable to use third-party headphones if you want to be fully immersed. The microphone is also suitable for multiplayer games.
Battery life without a power bank is pretty bad on the Quest headset, as it drains the battery even on standby.
