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).
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
The Getting Started Guide will help you set up and run the Quest.
You can access more apps on the Web using the Oculus Browser.
