There's a pair of magic goggles I've gone back to again and again over the last two years, opening up worlds of games, theater, conversations, art and experiences that are tough to even describe. The Oculus Quest 2 is an improved, less expensive sequel to the Oculus Quest, a self-contained VR game console that was my absolute favorite thing in 2019. This year it's already been my portable holodeck, my little magic fitness room, my escape space.
The Quest 2 is faster, smaller, cheaper and better than ever. Except this time around, you need a Facebook account.
$100 less than before; Better, faster processor; Higher-res display; Great self-contained gaming experience; Doubles as PC VR headset; Lighter and a bit smaller;
Store still lacks some higher-end games; Only 2-3 hours of battery life; You have to use Facebook to log in;
