The Oculus Quest is a VR headset from Oculus. It has a flat focus.

It was replaced in Oculus' lineup by the Quest 2.

It is a standalone headset.

It is Oculus' first hybrid headset that is fully standalone. The Oculus Quest and Rift S were launched at the same time, but offer 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.[1]

You can purchase a refurbished Oculus Quest from Facebook for $199; the product has been discontinued, though, in favor of the Meta Quest 2.[2]

Oculus rolled out the ability to connect the Quest to a PC through the beta version of Oculus Link.[3]

Hardware[edit]

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.[4]

The GPU is a Qualcomm Adreno 540 which “cuts the scene up into a grid of tiles and renders each in sequence.”[4]

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.[4]

The Quest comes with two Touch Controllers as well as the ability to use your hands for controller-free hand tracking.

Setup Tutorial[edit]

Download the Oculus mobile app to configure your device. Purchase and download games through the app or while wearing your headset.

Accessories[edit]

Oculus Link[edit]

See Oculus Link. The Quest 2 is also compatible with this device.[2]

Oculus Quest in-ear Headphones[edit]

If you prefer headphones instead of the Quest’s built-in speakers, you can purchase Oculus’ in-ear headphones.[2]

Prescription Lenses[edit]

Quest is compatible with VirtuClear lens inserts.

Apps[edit]

Oculus Quest Store[edit]

You can purchase games from the Oculus Quest Store on PC, mobile app, or from within the Store while wearing your headset.

The Oculus Quest has full support for Unity and Unreal engines as well as the Oculus SDK for games made outside of these engines.
