00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:05.210
- Oh boy, the Oculus Quest two.

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.770
I've been really excited for this because I don't know if you guys know,

00:00:09.770 --> 00:00:16.883
but I've been exercising at home with the original Oculus Quest plan, beat saver, fit X,

00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:23.320
I don't even remember what it's called, the boxing one. Yeah, it's one of my favorite things,

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:27.830
pieces of tech to come out in quite some time so I was excited when Oculus said they were making

00:00:27.830 --> 00:00:31.020
a Quest two and now we have it here.

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:36.120
Oh, and thanks to Oculus for sponsoring this video. Now, one of the reasons the original Quest was so cool

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:40.360
is because it can be both a standalone VR headset

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:44.920
and a PC VR headset. When we did the Linus tech video on this,

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.770
me and Linus said that it was like, it's kind of like the Nintendo Switch of VR.

00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:53.770
I think this might even solidify that placement a bit more.

00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:58.230
So enough preamble, let's open the box.

00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:03.280
Okay, very exciting and there she is. So they went with a white color scheme this time,

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.280
which I have to say I appreciate as a minimalist.

00:01:08.690 --> 00:01:13.010
Check out that video if you don't know what I'm talking about. So yeah, look at that.

00:01:13.010 --> 00:01:18.093
Oh, very nice. Oh, a little letter. When was the last time you played for real, man?

00:01:19.776 --> 00:01:23.751
(grunting) What's going on?

00:01:23.751 --> 00:01:26.917
Ah. (laughing)

00:01:26.917 --> 00:01:30.460
what's this? A shirt?

00:01:30.460 --> 00:01:34.653
Play for real. Hey, I'm filming over here, guys.

00:01:34.653 --> 00:01:37.760
- [Jono] He's playing for real dude. - I will! And what else we got?

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.370
And a hoodie. Wow, whoa, we got all the swag.

00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:47.080
A stainless steel bottle, play for real.

00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:50.130
Okay, to be clear, that was really nice of Oculus

00:01:50.130 --> 00:01:54.310
to send us that stuff, but this is probably not what you're gonna get when you just buy the regular

00:01:54.310 --> 00:01:57.820
consumer version of the headset. Just so you know, just so you don't have some

00:01:57.820 --> 00:02:01.090
false expectations, you know? Okay, that's all that's in the box.

00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:02.440
I'm ready to play for real.

00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:12.680
Let's go! Okay, oh boy, that is, I mean, it's a nice looking headset.

00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:20.120
So the previous quest was black and it also had kinda this matte finish.

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:26.610
But this is real nice, I like that they kinda switched it up. Okay, so they got this guide for the IPD adjustment

00:02:26.610 --> 00:02:30.000
inter pupilary distance which is something,

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.700
if you've never played VR, that's something you need to adjust to make things

00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:37.930
the clearest because we all have different spaces between where our eyes sit.

00:02:37.930 --> 00:02:44.090
On the old Quest, there was like a slider, a physical slider to change that number,

00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:47.280
and on this one, it looks like you physically

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.000
move them with your hands. I believe there are three positions, yeah.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.300
There's kind of like a far apart, a middle one, and then close together.

00:02:56.300 --> 00:03:00.100
We also have this glasses spacer which I will need to use because I'm wearing glasses.

00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:06.750
So I'm just gonna put that on actually right now. Okay, this goes in there.

00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:11.610
Oh, nice clicks. Great, I'm just gonna put that on.

00:03:11.610 --> 00:03:15.280
Actually no, I'm not gonna put it on yet, first let's talk about the controllers.

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.840
Okay, so I think that more or less,

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.250
these are a very similar design to the first Quest,

00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:27.540
but it has a bigger ring and I think that the overall controllers are bigger as well.

00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:31.930
So, oh, the battery door. This is something I believe that they worked on

00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:38.080
because there were some complaints with the original Quest about the battery door sliding off really easily

00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.160
because it was like a magnetic attachment. But this one, it's definitely more secure.

00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:48.430
Yeah, it clicks into place not with magnets, with like a little plastic doohickey so that's good.

00:03:48.430 --> 00:03:51.600
Okay, and finally the last thing is this box

00:03:51.600 --> 00:03:56.600
which has reference guide for how to get started and stuff.

00:03:57.230 --> 00:04:03.810
I think I already know how. And we got the USBC power adapter and USBC power cord.

00:04:05.450 --> 00:04:10.070
Now, I don't believe that this is meant for Oculus Link

00:04:10.070 --> 00:04:14.090
which probably makes sense 'cause it's only this long. So you won't be able to connect to your PC

00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:19.130
and have a comfortable VR experience that way. And you might ask, why didn't Oculus include

00:04:19.130 --> 00:04:22.230
an Oculus link-capable cord in the box

00:04:22.230 --> 00:04:27.950
that was long enough for you to be able to play PC VR. I mean, you know, they gotta make some compromises

00:04:27.950 --> 00:04:31.780
some places because remember this is a 299 headset,

00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:35.800
that's a hundred dollars cheaper than the first Quest for the 64 gig model.

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.990
So you know, I can understand it.

00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:44.450
The sweatbands work great to kind of be a cushion between the straps, maybe some lttstore sweatbands

00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:49.110
just if you're gonna get a Quest two, okay, it can help a lot. The physical design of the headset is very similar;

00:04:49.110 --> 00:04:53.370
it's got a power button on the right side, USBC and headphone jack on the left side,

00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:56.840
and four sensors for tracking and the pass through

00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:01.410
plus feature which lets you see through into the real world. Now this is one of the coolest, I can actually

00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:06.208
see you right now because of the pass through feature. Look, I'm gonna come right up to Andy and go.

00:05:06.208 --> 00:05:11.480
(laughs) I love you man. I will say that I was a little disappointed

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.590
not to see the old strap design return, but this one is very comfortable.

00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:19.130
The other one kinda has that plastic on the side that turns into.

00:05:19.130 --> 00:05:23.940
Actually the back is hard plastic on the original Quest as well. So I understand why they did this now because

00:05:23.940 --> 00:05:29.680
it is a little bit more comfortable having this fabric strap instead of a plastic crown

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.780
on your head. Guardian feature, so one of the coolest things about the original Quest was the fact that

00:05:34.780 --> 00:05:38.330
it's built in tracking and the Rift S has built in tracking as well.

00:05:38.330 --> 00:05:44.740
But the cool thing about the Quest is that you're not tethered to a PC. So you can make your area as large as you want

00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:47.453
with no consideration for a cord going to anything.

00:05:50.467 --> 00:05:55.536
I'm gonna make it the entire area, even where you're standing, Andy. The other cool thing is that you can walk around

00:05:55.536 --> 00:05:58.830
in this space, look at how big my space is.

00:05:58.830 --> 00:06:05.520
Now, my other initial impression right off the bat is that things do look significantly sharper.

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:09.110
So the Quest two has two LCD displays,

00:06:09.110 --> 00:06:14.110
the resolutions of which are 1832 by 1920, is that right?

00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:18.040
At launch, the refresh rate is 72 hertz

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.720
which is the same as the original Quest, but they're gonna send out an update soon that

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.300
will enable 90 hertz. And so one of the reasons that they were able

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:29.680
to up the specs in that way, to support more resolution and refresh rate

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.690
is because they're using the snapdragon XR2 chip

00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:35.710
which is made specifically for virtual reality

00:06:35.710 --> 00:06:40.140
and augmented reality applications. I know you guys want me to try Beat Saber.

00:06:40.140 --> 00:06:44.450
I can feel you thinking that, but I wanna try Vader Immortal first

00:06:44.450 --> 00:06:47.870
because it's Star Wars and it's an amazing experience.

00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:50.373
Okay, yeah, your hands definitely look,

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.570
like things look sharper. Like, I can see like the leather stitching and stuff

00:06:56.570 --> 00:06:59.173
on the gloves. Oh, it's a light saber!

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.903
Oh, there we go. Oh, now I have a light saber and a blaster.

00:07:14.167 --> 00:07:20.290
(laughing) That is just as amazing as I enjoyed it the first time.

00:07:20.290 --> 00:07:24.540
I gotta say, one thing I did, they said that the headset is 10% lighter.

00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:28.630
I'd say that's an accurate claim. As you guys probably gathered,

00:07:28.630 --> 00:07:33.690
the fact that I just played an original Quest title means that the Quest two is backwards compatible

00:07:33.690 --> 00:07:38.690
with all Quest content as well as the Oculus PC VR games

00:07:40.340 --> 00:07:44.010
that you can play through Oculus link. Let's play something else.

00:07:44.010 --> 00:07:48.770
Beat saber! Oh my gosh, people are gonna get so mad at me, I'm doing so,

00:07:48.770 --> 00:07:55.030
what?! So Beat Saber's really good for testing

00:07:55.030 --> 00:07:58.633
the speed of tracking because you know,

00:07:59.528 --> 00:08:02.193
I can't talk and do this at the same time.

00:08:03.692 --> 00:08:06.607
Oh my god. (laughing)

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:11.730
I failed again. Okay, so the reason (laughing)

00:08:11.730 --> 00:08:17.060
The reason that I'm failing, I would guess, is not the fault of the Quest; it's definitely mine

00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:19.963
because I've only played this game like once. Super hot.

00:08:21.170 --> 00:08:24.693
Oh my God. I killed him.

00:08:25.750 --> 00:08:26.593
I killed him!

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.770
Dead, dude. Okay, the other thing is I have this giant space

00:08:33.770 --> 00:08:35.220
that normally you don't have.

00:08:37.030 --> 00:08:39.393
Oh, give me this, give me that gun.

00:08:41.860 --> 00:08:45.210
Bottle to the face and this guy's frickin dead,

00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:51.190
dude, you're dead. Well, I gotta say as a regular Quest one user,

00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:55.140
my experience today with the Quest two has been pretty impressive.

00:08:55.140 --> 00:08:59.870
Now, one thing I haven't really mentioned is that you do have to log in with a Facebook account

00:08:59.870 --> 00:09:05.186
if you're gonna use the Quest two and I believe by 2023 if you wanna use any Oculus product,

00:09:05.186 --> 00:09:08.680
you will have to use your Facebook account to log in.

00:09:08.680 --> 00:09:13.120
And once you do that, it'll be permanently merged. There are other VR options on the market

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.140
if that's not something that floats your boat. However, this is super compelling.

00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:22.350
If you've never tried the Quest or PC VR

00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:25.480
and you've tried like Oculus Go, it's completely different.

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.480
This is a fully immersive room scale standing

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.660
VR controller hand presence VR experience.

00:09:35.660 --> 00:09:40.890
Now, one major thing we did not look at today was Oculus Link: the ability to also function

00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:44.880
as a PC VR headset. And we are gonna be looking into that more in depth

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:50.390
in an LTT video so make sure you're subscribed. Stay tuned for that video and thanks to Oculus

00:09:50.390 --> 00:09:53.720
for sponsoring that video, this video. I'll see you in the next one.

00:09:56.650 --> 00:09:59.443
Play for real! (laughing)
