The [[Oculus Rift S]] is a [[VR headset]] from [[Oculus VR]] in partnership with [[Lenovo]] to improve design and speed up manufacturing. The new design included a halo headband and fit wheel, room-scale tracking with no external sensors (which were required for the [[Rift]]), and a higher resolution compared to the Rift.<ref name="one">https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/18273152/oculus-rift-s-vr-headset-announced-pricing-release-date-features-gdc-2019</ref>

The Rift S was released at the same time as [[Oculus Quest]]. Their similarities are plentiful<ref name="one"></ref>:
* inside-out tracking: [[Oculus Insight]]
* [[Oculus Touch]] controllers
* integrated audio system
* shared gaming library

While the Rift S and Quest came with many of the same features, they differed in one significant way: the Rift S requires a PC connection, and the Quest did not. The main thing to consider when purchasing Rift S was whether you had a computer that met the recommended specs for game play and/or you wanted to/could afford to purchase a gaming computer.<ref name="one"></ref>

Other differences between Rift S and Quest included: Passthrough support and sensors. The Rift S had an enhanced version of Passthrough - Passthrough+ which supported Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW).<ref name="two">https://www.oculus.com/blog/announcing-oculus-rift-s-our-new-pc-vr-headset-launching-spring-2019/</ref> The Rift S also had a fifth sensor to support this enhanced Passthrough experience.<ref name="one"></ref>
