The '''Oculus Quest''' is [[Oculus VR]]'s first hybrid headset that is fully [[Standalone VR|Standalone]] and enabled a connection to PC for an expanded library of games. The Oculus Quest and [[Rift S]] were launched in the same year, but offered distinctly different playing experiences. The Quest is a fully [[integrated HMD]], requiring no connection to a PC whereas the Rift S requires a PC for processing and play.<ref name=”four”>https://uploadvr.com/oculus-quest-2-specs/</ref>
 
You can purchase a refurbished Oculus Quest from Facebook for $199; the product has been discontinued, though, in favor of the Meta Quest 2.<ref name=”two”></ref>
 
==Release and Pricing==
The Oculus Quest was first released on May 21, 2019 as a standalone headset.
 
On November 18, 2019, Oculus rolled out the ability to connect the Quest to a PC through the beta version of [[Oculus Link]].<ref name=”six”>https://www.oculus.com/blog/play-rift-content-on-quest-with-oculus-link-available-now-in-beta/?locale=fr_FR</ref>
 
In 2021, the Oculus Quest was discontinued.
 
==Hardware==
 
The Quest comes with strap audio - speakers built into the headset - but you can also connect your headphones through a stereo audio jack.
 
The CPU is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 that comes with 8 cores. Three of the faster “gold” cores are dedicated to game play, and the rest are dedicated to system services like TimeWarp and tracking.<ref name=”three”>https://developer.oculus.com/blog/down-the-rabbit-hole-w-oculus-quest-the-hardware-software/</ref>
 
The GPU is a Qualcomm Adreno 540 which “cuts the scene up into a grid of tiles and renders each in sequence.”<ref name=”three”></ref>
 
The Touch Controllers expand upon the design of Rift’s controllers. They have the same button layout, but the rings are placed differently to improve controller registration by the HMD.<ref name=”three”></ref>
