Oculus Quest 2’s key advantages over Rift S for PC VR: I have several mobile and desktop VR headsets and I was surprised that Quest 2 can be almost as good as Rift S for PC VR gaming, although it does have drawbacks. But the truth is that Quest and Quest 2 are pretty good for desktop VR as well. But how well do they work compared to a desktop VR headset, such as Oculus Rift S? It may seem that using Quest for PC VR was only an afterthought and therefore it wouldn’t be that good for desktop VR. It has five cameras for inside out tracking.Īlthough Quest and Quest 2 were designed as mobile VR headsets, they can also be used for PC VR. Unlike its predecessor - the Oculus Rift CV1 - the Rift S has no external sensors, which makes it much more convenient to use. Quest 2 is the second 6DOF mobile VR headset from Oculus and improves on the original Quest with a faster processor, higher resolution screen, larger storage options, and a significantly lower price. Instead, it uses four cameras on the headset for inside out tracking using computer vision. It doesn’t need to be tethered to a PC or phone, and doesn’t have any external sensors. Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone 6DOF mobile VR headset.
