Facebook reveals Oculus Quest 2

Facebook Inc. is upgrading its Oculus Quest all-in-one virtual reality headset with a faster processor for improved gaming, higher-resolution screens and a lighter design as it looks to fend off rivals in the growing VR space.

The new headset’s power improvements have given the company enough confidence to discontinue its PC-connected Oculus Rift from next spring.

The social network’s hardware arm announced the Quest 2 on Wednesday at its virtual Facebook Connect conference about a year and a half after the first iteration went on sale.

I was really keen on getting an Oculus Rift 2 months back (no stock in SA) but now that Facebook has started its games with requiring a Facebook account (which I cancelled 2 years because I detest Facebook selling our private data) I'll have to wait for better VR headsets from competitors.
