Oculus Quest

Line drawing of Oculus Quest headset and controllers.

The Oculus Quest provides a full-featured VR experience- with the touch controllers, you can interact with virtual worlds in ways that transcend the Go. This headset is entirely standalone and can be checked out for up to 72 hours. It requires a smartphone to connect the device to WiFi. You will need an Oculus account (you can use a Facebook account if you already have one).

Can I check one out now?

What you need to get started

The headset is fairly simple but still requires a few important considerations:

Charge the headset via the USB cable and wall adapter.
The controllers require AA batteries (included).
A smartphone with the Oculus Quest iOS or Android app is required to set up and run the headset.
A WiFi connection is needed for setup and app downloads

Oculus Go

The Oculus Go is a standalone VR headset and controller you can check out to explore VR and 360 photos/videos. To use the headset, you just need to download the smartphone app (Google Play or iPhone App Store) and set up an Oculus account (you can use a Facebook account if you already have one). You will be prompted to do both of these when you first use the Oculus Go headset.
