The Oculus Quest 2 can really take you to another world. With a 360º field of vision (even in the root menu), a stereo surround sound speaker system, and intuitive ergonomic controllers, the Oculus Quest 2 really engages all your senses to put you in the virtual environment. Everything sends your brain the message that you are there!
You need a Facebook account to use the Oculus Quest 2. I personally shy away from social media, but if you don't have one, it's easy enough to create a Facebook account just to get your login credentials. Once you're in, you can go on some incredible adventures with just the free pre-installed content (let alone the thousands of VR-compatible games and programs out there).
There are some amazing 3D movies that aren't interactive but are nevertheless thoroughly immersive, putting you right in the center of the action in a fully detailed 3D environment: walk the streets of the Holy Land, venture through the jungles of Brunei, get up close and personal with some elephants on an African safari. If you're into dinosaurs, I would definitely recommend the Jurassic World movies. That's about as close as you'll ever get (or would want to get) to seeing a real raptor.
However, it's the interactive programs that really show you what a powerful system you're dealing with. The controller can tell the difference between pushing a button, lifting your finger off the button, or just resting your finger lightly on it, creating a surprisingly natural system that is intuitive and easy to learn. The controls just make sense and let you focus on the moment, whether you're playing zero-gravity ultimate frisbee, fighting a lightsaber duel against Darth Vader, or taking a space-walk outside the International Space Station.
You can use the Oculus Quest 2 anywhere with a good Wi-Fi signal, because the boundaries of the virtual space are incredibly easy to set: you just use the controller to trace the borders of the room, and you can adjust it as often as you like. Big room, small room… abnormally shaped room… normally shaped room but there's a couch in the middle? Check, check, check, no problem! If you get too close to the boundary, the walls become visible so you can adjust your position. And if you do step outside of the boundary, the goggles switch to a camera so you can see your real environment without removing the headset, which is a big help for safety and convenience. (Be careful, though… while you can see if you leave the boundary, you can't see if someone else enters. I had a family member cross inside while I was playing and I almost punched her in the head while trying to catch a virtual frisbee.)
If there's one thing to worry about with the Oculus Quest 2 it's that it's SO good, you'll want to be pretty systematic about regulating your play time. Even reality feels a bit different, a bit more virtual, once you take the headset off. So use caution and moderation. But really, that's a testament to the quality of this product, and as far as immersive virtual experiences go, you cannot beat the Oculus Quest 2.
