INTRO

What is going on everyone? Leon checkin' in and we are at it again with another video.

In today's video we will be unboxing the Oculus Quest 2 and doing a hardware comparison to the original Quest

With Virtual Reality, there is a lot to cover, which is why we have the Oculus Quest playlist!

It includes videos on the original Quest as well as more detailed videos of the Oculus Quest 2

Future topics include initial startup, tutorial, battery life, and accessories.

In order to simplify the video, I will be referring to the Oculus Quest 2 as Quest 2 and the original Oculus Quest as Quest.

As always, I only feature products I buy or would like to buy.

Being open and honest to the audience is important so they can make an informed purchase.

This gives the channel more credibility and appeal because we feature items that interest me and change the way we live.

Don’t have time to watch the whole video? We are now a podcast you can find on several apps by searching for “Pixels Cracked.”

And if you are listening to this on a Podcast, you can find the YouTube channel by searching for Pixels Cracked!

So before we get into the unboxing, let’s talk about Quest 2.

Quest 2 is one of the purest forms of VR requiring no PC, wires, or sensors and features and improved processor.

This seems to be the concept behind the packaging and hardware:

A simple design in white, a lean forward to the future in what I like to call #technominimalism design.

This headset is from Facebook, and requires a Facebook account, a controversial deciding factor for many.

However, the original Quest required a Facebook account for me to download my Oculus media to my Chromebook so this isn’t entirely new.

Essentially, Facebook serves as the hub for content sharing and downloading of Quest media which in turn makes it a cloud storage service as well.

A possible benefit of a mandatory Facebook account, if Facebook can clearly demonstrate and execute it in an appealing way, is social connecting.

Facebook states you can easily find and connect with your friends in VR.

I would be more interested in matching with current Quest users based on our similar VR data profiles.

This shouldn’t be entirely hard, since Facebook is known for being exceptional at data mining.

And the last bit of good news is that it’s backwards compatible, meaning you can access content from the Quest.

All things said… Let’s go ahead… And get into it!
