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>


The '''Oculus Quest''' (also known as Quest 1 or Meta Quest) is the first standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] with 6 degrees of freedom developed by [[Oculus VR]], a division of [[Meta Platforms]]. Announced on September 26, 2018 (codenamed "Santa Cruz") and released on May 21, 2019 at $399, the Quest features dual Pentile OLED displays at 1440 x 1600 per eye, the Oculus Insight inside-out tracking system with four cameras, and requires no PC or external sensors. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the Quest revolutionized VR accessibility.<ref name="meta">{{cite web|url=https://www.meta.com/blog/introducing-oculus-quest-our-first-6dof-all-in-one-vr-system-launching-spring-2019/|title=Introducing Oculus Quest, Our First 6DOF All-in-One VR System|publisher=Meta}}</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>


== History and Development ==
==Release and Pricing==
The Oculus Quest was first released on May 21, 2019 as a standalone headset.


=== Project Santa Cruz ===
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>
The Quest was developed under the codename "Santa Cruz," first demonstrated at Oculus Connect 3 in 2016.


=== September 2018 Announcement ===
In 2021, the Oculus Quest was discontinued.
Officially announced as Oculus Quest at Oculus Connect 5 on September 26, 2018.


=== May 2019 Release ===
==Hardware==
Launched on May 21, 2019 alongside the Oculus Rift S.


=== Hand Tracking Update ===
The Quest comes with strap audio - speakers built into the headset - but you can also connect your headphones through a stereo audio jack.
Controller-free hand tracking was added via software update in December 2019.


=== Oculus Link ===
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>
USB tethering to PC for Rift content was added in November 2019.


=== Discontinuation ===
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>
Discontinued in 2020, succeeded by the Oculus Quest 2.


== Design and Hardware ==
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>
