Bought this for my kid for Christmas and we all love it ! You can download Great games like walking dead, Jurassic park and beat saber! Fun for the whole family ! Graphics are amazing and keeps charged for up to 3 hours! Also you can browse the internet or watch tv in virtual reality! I’m glad they finally made a more affordable option for the oculus. Also the portability of this device is its best feature along with all the safety precautions so no one gets hurt! Oculus Quest 2 256Gb. #techie. #gaming #oculus

Love love love my oculus quest! It is surreal when first putting it on. The graphics are amazing as well as the tracking. It has a Guardian to keep you safe so it tracks your movements to alert you if you move out of the safe zone. The games are fantastic quality and it offers some amazing experiences not offered elsewhere. I like that I can bring my computer screen onto some of the apps to collaborate with others. It really brings some future tech to the current. I highly recommend this to everyone! It is a must have and must experience!

If you’re an introvert like myself, this is the perfect product to have at home! I can’t even describe how REAL this VR system is, it’s crazy. The games are so realistic, and even the venues feel so real. That could be because there are other real people gliding around actually talking to each other. It creeped me out a little at first lol but after awhile you see just how cool this thing really is! Hubby and I just had to get two, and we are loving it! I would definitely recommend!

An experience everyone should try

THIS IS A FULL REVIEW Finding a review to explain exactly what the VR experience entails is a difficult one Many simply state it being hard to explain and just buy one to find out The problem with this is that it is a very expensive way of just jumping in blind to find out for yourself I made the plunge after years of doubt, and having unsuccessfully found anywhere to trial one Well, i wasnt disappointed Trying to describe the VR experience is in fact as hard as others have said, but i think the experience can be described in order to give a sense of what it offers Visuals - i can best describe my experience, using the Oculus Quest, as giving an immersive, 3D / holographic type of experience.

Back in the 80's our school had a travelling science group who showed us holograms, looking through boxes or tubes, seeing the visual holograms of certain objects, animals etc.These images appeared 3 dimensional, and also appeared to be, in a sense, floating within this infinite 3 dimension space. This is the experience that VR, in general, offers. Take Robo Recall for example, my first outing in to VR It immerses you in what feels (or the brain is tricked) like a real life city, albeit in an obvious computer game graphical visual. However, where it shines is that interactions while fighting/shooting the robots, in that they appear correctly, at various distances, scaled correctly, shadow details, etc and the rendered 'box' of the robots is incredibly accurate. 'Grabbing or shooting at the robot, gives a real sense that they are actually there, in front of you (or behind) and you find yourself reacting automatically to duck dodge or block them. VR is this ability to construct a 3 dimensional arena/world, and tricking the brain to immerse you as if it were real. The only thing that holds you on to actual reality is the obvious computer rendered images you see (and the occasional hitting your knuckles on a nearby desk or wall Oculus Quest Unit Hardware This unit is my first jump in to VR, so i have nothing to compare it to, however, I've bought many an item over the years, and can clearly judge that this item is of top rated build quality The plastics are hard, feel sturdy, have differing surface finishes depending on if its where you would normally hold or touch. The straps are adjustable, feel strong and hard wearing. The foam padding is comfy and soft, and does an excellent job of block out light. The lenses / screens have an adjustment facility for those with eye issues. I have on eye with long distance issues, however i can wear my oculus with out my glasses and have no issues with seeing clearly. It is possible to buy lense inserts from the Oculus approved company by giving them your prescription I havent opened up the unit to look at the internals (nor will I), but this unit uses OLED screens with a high resolution, a high brightness, and the blackest of blacks. The refresh rate doesnt cause any tearing or slowdowns when things get fast paced. The battery has a supposed life of around 2 hours, ive achieved slightly higher than this, but it will depend on the software, games etc that you are running. The touch controllers are superb, and i was blown away with how accurate the xyz position and displaying of these were on the unit. Software This area was a surprise for me, id had a quick look and saw a few games ertc, but it wasnt until i installed the oculus app on my phone (this is required on initial first turn on of unit) and the oculus app on my pc (not required to play on oculus), that i saw the shear amount of additional software tools available. The Quest can be run as a standalone unit, using just the Quest store for software. However, plug in a cable and attach it to your VR capable PC opens up a whole 'rift' of possibilities. This software, Oculus Link' enables the quest to access the Rift store, hereby giving full access to the complete list of software available on the PC based Rift store, thus opening even more games and apps. From there you can also instal SteamVR, and access the VR content on the Steam store. This whole process is a simple case of buying the correct USB-C to C cable (must be capable of delivering power and data, normally advertised as 10GB cables) and allowing the oculus pc software detect your headset, install the Oculus Link software (in Beta, but its works well), then on the Quest home screen, you simply click on the beta link button and it transfers you to the Rift home screen and store. For steam it requires SteamVR (which is in your 'tools' folder not games) The oculus software enables you to map out your room, drawing around everything using the touch controllers, this gives you a safe area, and the system will bring up a grid on your eye screens when you get too close (this can be adjusted and changed very easily if you use the Quest in another room etc. As the quest version is primarily wire free, portability function is great on this) run out of characters lol

Azrael's review of Oculus Quest VR Gaming Headset - 128 GB

Pros: Freedom of movement, room scale and awesome games at launch enough to keep you tied over. I highly recommend this as a purchase. It’s amazing and the ability to have room scale VR with out being tethered to a PC is insane. The sound is fine from the band isn’t as bad as some reviewers say. I have used it on a few occasions and it’s fine if you don’t want to pack a pair of gaming headphones. I haven’t played VR with the provided sound via oculus rift or the vive anyways I prefer proper headphones for that sound isolating and immersion.Cons: Loss of tracking sometimes apparently oculus will be fixing this in an update, the current padding is a sweat soaker order VR cover pleather surround, light bleed with original cover I believe this issue is also resolved by ... MorePros: Freedom of movement, room scale and awesome games at launch enough to keep you tied over.

Don’t expect the best graphics but still awesome regardless what they have done to squeeze everything out of a mobile processor is amazing. With the touch controllers not being rechargeable you will go through batteries if you use it a lot I recommend buying rechargeable batteries. Please also be aware the battery for the oculus quest is around the two hour mark. For me I find this sufficient gives me a break from vr it has quick charge so charges up quick. Just jump on your Xbox, PlayStation or PC for a bit or buy a rechargeable battery pack and slip it in your pocket you still have the freedom of not being tethered to a PC who wants to wear VR goggles for over two hours anyways.

David's review of Oculus Quest VR Gaming Headset - 128 GB

Pros: Portable, wireless and fits well. A bit heavy but less noticeable after some time. When it's working good it's a great item but I only had a few sessions where my unit worked 100%. If you want perfection wait for another headset.Cons: It needs improvement. Overall its a headset that should be great but after my second headset I'm wondering if they all have flaws like bad pixels either on screen or in pass through or squeeky controllers as well as like a god Ray that wint disappear and is prevalent in games which have high whites and dark blacks. At first it's wow but once you get through this first couple of hours you just think why are they so buggy. I'm not alone either, many people have had to return 2 or 3 units! If you get a good one then you can play ... MorePros: Portable, wireless and fits well. A bit heavy but less noticeable after some time.

My first VR game system. Incredible!

Up until buying the Oculus Quest, Id only played on VR headsets in demo rooms or arcade clubs. Specifically Super Hot & Beat Sabre. I loved the experience and wanted my own, but I dont have a gaming PC - that was until I saw the Quest! The reviews looked great so I took the plunge. I am so impressed with everything about it. The build quality and materials are of a premium feel but the best bit is... no wires or cables. Walking around the room or ground floor in total freedom!. The inbuilt cameras do a superb job in tracking your location and exiting & entering the guardian wall gaming area. Its so seamless! Upon wearing the unit for the first time, I was grinning ear to ear. You are stood IN the game rather than looking at the game on a TV screen. To say this ... MoreUp until buying the Oculus Quest, Id only played on VR headsets in demo rooms or arcade clubs. Specifically Super Hot & Beat Sabre.

To say this system runs on snapdragon processor, its incredible what it can output. Its never going to match gaming PC graphics but when you can box up this head unit and controllers, take it to your friends/family house and make a party out of it, theres no comparison. This will make a great device for one person or the whole family. Its be good if there was an option for multiple player profiles on 1 unit. Currently there is only 1 I cant wait to demo this to friends and family :-) Go on.. buy it ;-)

Poor Product and Even Worse Customer Service

I didn't buy this product through John Lewis but the product itself is poor.So I got the Oculus Quest a couple days ago and the first day was great, had a good few hours of playing. Then the problems started..So you don't have a choice to update the Quest, it will just update at random. When I put it on, it just started updating.. After waiting 15 minutes for the update to process I could hear that the headset was powered on but the screen was black. I did the classic on and off again routine which made the update go again. This happened a couple times with no avail. So looking online, it said this was quite a common issue and it needed to be factory reset. I preformed two, but it didn't work. I took it to a friend who knew alot about tech, he did a side load ... MoreI didn't buy this product through John Lewis but the product itself is poor.So I got the Oculus Quest a couple days ago and the first day was great, had a good few hours of playing.

I took it to a friend who knew alot about tech, he did a side load (loading it from a computer onto the headset) but that failed too.Upon further review of other issues, it said that oculus had to take it back. So I did the natural thing and contact the support. Suprisingly, this wasn't answered in hours like you would expect, it said it would take two days for a response. I'm now on day three and still have been ignored.All round a truly miserable experience, I advise avoiding Oculus for its competitors like HTC or PlayStation.

Wireless!

It's solidly made. Image quality is very good as it allows for eye distance adjustments. The tracking is great, but I believe it isn't as good as some make it out to be as it sometimes loses the position of the controllers. Another problem, is that it forces you to create guardian every time you adjust yourself outside of your previously made guardian; why is it not just possible to choose stationary without creating a guardian? If you then leave the stationary position, it should then trigger guardian creation; this makes more sense. Graphics are pretty good. There is no technical reason why this isn't the case. The store has some good stuff. I believe that the psvr is a more comfortable headset though; the oculus quest rests heavily on the cheekbones. Yes, I have ... MoreIt's solidly made.

Yan's review of Oculus Quest VR Gaming Headset - 128 GB

Pros: Incredible entry point to full 6dof (degree's of freedom) as you don't need a high power pc to use this headset. The games are less powerful however but this does not take away from the immersion. Inside out tracking means you do not need external sensor to track the controllers and the headset has full hand tracking that has been implemented in some titles (meaning you don't even need controllers to play them! You just use your hands!)Cons: Because this headset is basically a tiny pc for your face it is a little front heavy. This is somewhat remedyed by third party addons and attachments ranging from a few pounds to a few hudred pounds. A google search can bring you to these.My only other dislike of this headset is the recent news that Facebook (the owner of ... MorePros: Incredible entry point to full 6dof (degree's of freedom) as you don't need a high power pc to use this headset.

This may not bother most but as someone who neither has nor wants anything to do with Facebook, I feel sad that I now have to choose between not using this exceptional piece of kit or joining a global surveillance monster.
