The Quest 2 can run either as a standalone device (with a smartphone app) or connected to a PC via a wired connection (Link Cable) with compatible VR software. It does not require any additional hardware such as cameras and external sensors, making for a quick and easy setup.Sleek Design
The Quest 2 is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, measuring 224 x 450 mm and weighing only 503 g. The three-point elastic head strap features built-in speakers for an optional headphone-less experience.
The physical interface includes a power button and a volume adjuster on the right, plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB-C charging port on the left. The headset also has four cameras distributed around its main body for position tracking.
Displays
The Quest 2 features a fast-switch LCD display, departing from the dual OLED displays of the Oculus Quest. Each display offers an 1832x1920 resolution per eye. The Quest 2 currently supports refresh rates of 60, 72, and 90 Hz, although an experimental 120 Hz refresh rate was also made in March 2021.
Position Tracking
The six degrees of freedom (DOF) of the Quest 2 allows the headset to accurately track the user's head and body movement without the need for external devices. The headset itself also offers features for navigating menus and playing some games without the touch controllers.
Sound
The built-in speakers offer loud and left/right positional audio. Still, users can have a more immersive experience by connecting their own headphones via the 3.5 mm audio port. The headset also includes a built-in microphone for multiplayer online gaming and conference calls.
Guardian
The Quest 2 uses the Guardian system for preventing the user to bump into furniture while using the headset. The user literally traces a safe play area around himself using the headset's feature. Whenever one steps out of the safe area, the Passthrough mode is enabled so the user can see the his immediate surroundings.
