A few days ago Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, announced its new virtual and mixed reality Meta Quest 3. As expected, this has caused a domino effect and now its predecessor has plummeted its price on Amazon to 150 euros.
Meta Quest 2, virtual reality without cables
Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest 2) is an all-in-one system that gives you the freedom you need to get the most out of your wireless virtual reality that limit your experience. This system features a lightning-fast processor and a high-resolution display, helping to keep your experience smooth and uninterrupted, even when the fast-paced action is happening around you.
The particular processor used by the system is a Snapdragon XR2 de Qualcomm, at the level of a high-end phone. It is well flanked by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB/256 GB for storage, when installing the games directly on the device. This does not mean that we cannot connect them to the PC. As the processing power of a PC is much higher, if we want to live a more complex experience in graphics, Meta Quest 2 has a Link USB-C cable that links the glasses with our PC.
For one greater feeling of immersion, 3D positional audio, hand tracking, and haptic feedback make virtual worlds seem real. Other notable specifications are the possibility of varying the refresh rate (60, 72, 90 Hz) and that we can use Meta Quest 2 with prescription glasses.
One of the most important characteristics of a virtual reality system is the quality with which we see the contents and in the case of Meta Quest 2 they are two LCD panels with a very high resolution for each: 1832 × 1920 pixels.
portable worlds
Unlike other virtual reality peripherals, the built-in battery lets you explore more for longer as you discover a growing library of over 350 social/multiplayer, fitness, and entertainment game titles and apps. Incredible multiplayer arenas and social spaces let you meet, play, and build communities with people from all over the world. Travel through fantastical universes from blockbuster movies, get scared with horror adventures or collaborate with colleagues in innovative workspaces.
Sit front row with your friends and family to movies and live events, find your new training partners, or join quests with other adventurers. Also, you can access 1000+ titles from the Rift Library by connecting your VR headset to a gaming-compatible computer (PC and cable sold separately). Let your friends and family into your VR world by projecting your experience onto TVs and other compatible displays. And you can take your lightweight and portable Meta Quest 2 anywhere in the real world.
If you want the 128 GB model, forget about paying 449 euros for them, since the offer on Amazon leaves them at 349 euros. The price is even more interesting in the 256 GB model. On this occasion, the discount reaches 150 euros and they can be yours for only 399 euros.
