Meanwhile, the way you’ll really notice this improvement is when developers start shipping games that can use the higher resolution, the better antialiasing, and the faster frame rate. When Facebook revs up the framerate to 90 hertz from 72 hertz, I think you’ll see a noticeable difference. I’m looking forward to playing side-by-side with someone else. I also sweated myself silly in the first few levels of Beat Saber with the new Quest. I’m looking forward to playing games that exploit the better resolution. But it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t play the game. I had a slightly harder time aiming in Pistol Whip with my gun on the Quest 2 than I did with the original model. It took me a second or two to adjust the headset so that I could see clearly. But that’s not such a great improvement that you will immediately notice it. So you’ll see more smooth lines in games. The original Quest doesn’t have the best antialiasing, and the Oculus Quest 2 is much better at it. One of the few clues is antialiasing, a visual feature where you see a smoothing out of the jagged lines in images. For the most part, it’s hard to tell that the display is different than on the first Quest. I wanted to jog my memory about how good the graphics are on the original model.īoth games performed flawlessly, and they both looked great on the Quest 2’s new display. I played Pistol Whip from Cloudhead Games and Vader Immortal: Episode 2 on the Oculus Quest 2 headset as well as on the older Quest. In the Home interface, you can see new apps, social stories, and active multiplayer games that you can join, as well as apps that are popular with your friends and which friends are currently playing in VR. It was pretty easy to pair my Quest 2 with the Oculus App via Bluetooth. The Home environment is a more relaxing and inviting place, and the improved resolution means that text looks better when you are browsing the web or watching videos. I had to re-download the applications that I wanted to play, but that was pretty simple via the Wi-Fi connection. I logged in via Facebook and was immediately able to access the older titles that were available on my Oculus Quest. If you move to a new room, you have to reset the Guardian. You can access Passthrough+ any time by double-tapping on your headset. If you move outside of or near the line while playing, you get a visual warning. You use your hand controller to draw an outline on the floor where you can move. The Guardian uses the Passthrough+ cameras so that you can see the room while wearing your headset. Upon setup, you can still create the Guardian, which is a border that you set where you are free to move without running into objects in your room. It does an automatic software update if you sign in with your Facebook account and provide the right Wi-Fi credentials. A white LED light turns on, and the big “O” appears inside the headset as it boots up. I charged the headset and turned it on by holding the power button for 2 seconds. While the first Quest is black, this one is white.
