VR headset 'Oculus Quest 2' photo review that can play VR games without PC 30,000 yen level

Facebook-affiliated VR company Oculus released the

6DoF compatible stand-alone VR headset ' Oculus Quest 2 ' on October 13, 2020, which allows you to play without a gaming PC. I was wondering how much it evolved from the previous model Oculus Quest , so I immediately opened the Oculus Quest 2 that came to the editorial department of GIGAZINE.

The box of Oculus Quest 2 looks like this. There are two models of Oculus Quest 2 with built-in storage, 64GB and 256GB, and this time we will open the 64GB model.

'From FACEBOOK' was written on the upper right.

The inner box is made of cardboard and has only the Oculus logo on it.

When I opened the white box, I found a quick guide, a safety and warranty guide, a USB Type-C cable, and a power adapter.

Looking at the Oculus Quest 2 headset from the front, it looks like this. Oculus Quest 2 is a stand-alone VR headset that does not require an external sensor and uses an inside-out method that recognizes the surrounding space with cameras attached to the four corners.

The headband for fixing is very simple, and the length can be adjusted with Velcro.

The side part of the headband is made of elastic material, but it is fixed to the headset with parts built into the speaker. This part can be tilted up at an angle of about 30 degrees, and it is designed to make it easy to put on and take off the headset.

interpupillary distance that was in the previous model is gone.

When I picked up the headset, it was clearly lighter than the original Oculus Quest. When actually measured, it weighs 498 grams, which is about 90 grams lighter than the previous model.

The goggle lens looks like this.

There is a sensor between the binocular lenses, which is a little difficult to understand in the image, but the letter '2' was engraved on it.

The Touch controller has almost the same shape as the previous model.

The shape of the strap has changed a little, making it a thin string.

The Touch controller requires one AA battery for each of the left and right sides. In the previous model, the lid of the battery box was fixed with a magnet, so depending on the grip strength, it may slip off when holding the Touch controller, but with the Oculus Quest 2 Touch controller, it is general from the magnet fixing method The lid has become difficult to remove due to the change to the standard slide fixing method.
