Oculus Quest 2 Leaked By Facebook, Features XR2, 'Almost 4K Display'

It looks like Oculus Quest 2 leaked again, and this time by Facebook itself. A ton of content surrounding the rumored device, which does indeed appear to be called Oculus Quest 2, has been discovered on Facebook’s Blueprint website. Some of it’s been taken down but not before

uploadvr.com

Suddenly got leaked. It's not really a new generation, more like a refresh - but it's a better headset in every way for a (hopefully) $300 price point, so it's a very important step forward.

Edit: May be almost 2K x 2K per eye or just almost 2K per eye. Unknown at this time.

You will hear more details at Facebook Connect on Wednesday, including the official reveal.

 

[harz-marz]

That's a great price!

 

[Just Great]

Shame Facebook is playing out to the worst kind of fears people had when Oculus was acquired.

 

[kami_sama]

2k is 2048x2048 or 1440p?

 

[Kyoufu]

Do I need a facebook account? If so, that's a no from me.

 

[Snarfington]

Neat. I love the Quest and, even though I'll probably sit this one out, it's nice to see it being iterated and improved. It is the future, for sure, this untethered VR.

Now if only Facebook could keep their integration claws out of Oculus a little more.

 

[JackDT]

If the price is really $299 that is an absolute INSANE value for the money. An XR2 is basically state of the art SOC.

 

[shancake]

How the hell do you leak an entire line of product videos on your own website two days ahead of the announcement?

 

[HMD]

That resolution is insane, regretting my Index purchase a little.

 

[keku]

Sounds phenomenal, looking forward to the official release. I hope they add some kind of wired connection to PCVR without compression and some form of wireless too

 

[Kalentan]

Shiiiiiit.

So like... How does this compare to the HP Reverb G2 specifically in terms of using it for PCVR.

 

[Cmc]

The XR-2 chip has 5G radios, very interesting

 

[artsi]

2K x 2K?
I guess I'm finally getting a Quest, especially if you can use it with PC.

UrAverageConsumer is my new favourite thing in the world and I wish to immediately change my Xbox profile name.

Reverb is still better. It's slightly more than 2K x 2K and has unparalleled audio with the Index speakers.

 

[Eeyore]

Hardware sounds good.

 

[Rosur]

That's a great price!

Click to shrink...

Shame have to use facebook for it though but still tempting.

 

[Alastor3]

So, better than oculus Rift S in term of quality/price right?

 

[tatwo]

Still 72hz?

 

[hanshen]

Damn it. I'm real close to getting out of the oculus eco system for good given the recent events.

 

[RedShift_]

If they improve the signal compression of the "oculus link" mode further I see no reason to buy a tethered VR headset anymore going forward. You get the best of both worlds.

That resolution is insane, regretting my Index purchase a little.

Is 2Kx2K that much higher than the index? Does 2K mean 2560x1440 per eye?

 

[Zool]

I.... I want one, help!
I don't want a Facebook device :(

 

[Mechaplum]

Do I need a facebook account? If so, that's a no from me.

Click to shrink...

Yes probably so that's a minus for me. I already have a tethered headset with similar resolution anyway.

Is 2Kx2K that much higher than the index? Does 2K mean 2560x1440 per eye?

Click to shrink...

It's 2160 x 2160 I reckon.

 

[UltraMagnus]

See I think Nintendo could do something like this at a similar price using the presumably upgraded Switch chipset and sell a lot more than Occulus would.

 

[NediarPT88]

Do I need a facebook account? If so, that's a no from me.

Click to shrink...

I never had a facebook account, can't you just make a fake one like a e-mail or does it require personal data (like fiscal number and stuff like that)?

No. Screens are square. Also, 2k as 1440p is bad. But I suppose what they're saying is that the resolution is 2x1440x1440.

Facebook are way more aggressive on pricing, so I doubt it until they can scrape together cheaper components.

 

[minimalism]

Just think of all data mining they can do with their new headset! Though to be fair it looks like a good headset for people who don't value an ounce of privacy.

 

[Mechaplum]

No. Screens are square. Also, 2k as 1440p is bad. But I suppose what they're saying is that the resolution is 2x1440x1440.

Reasonably confident it's 2 x 2160 x 2160. Otherwise it would be pointless.

I think they could offer something like this for $399, plus the ability to play Switch games and have 1st party Nintendo VR experiences ... it would definitely shake up this market.

 

[JackDT]

It's near 2k per eye. With one 4k screen you can't perfectly split it in two, so you lose a portion of the pixels.

 

[DarthBuzzard]

Reasonably confident it's 2 x 2160 x 2160. Otherwise it would be pointless.

Click to shrink...

They said almost 2K so it won't be that high.

 

[Spark]

This better have native wireless streaming/cable link to PCs.

Ok, so the 2k are real pixels. Well, it is more than my Index. I don't know how it could be driven by a mobile processor.

 

[Deleted member 51848]

I'm in. It looks lighter, has a next gen processor and a decent screen res. I wonder if they went with two panels or one?

 

[DarthBuzzard]

I'd wager 500-600, maybe 400 in a couple of years. It's all kind of moot anyway since Nintendo won't do it for years to come.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Should I sell my current quest, that's the question.

That's XR-2 for you. A decent leap over SnapDragon 835.

 

[RivalGT]

I'm guessing 1440x2880 is the resolution then, I think that would give you 2k per eye.

 

[Deleted member 10234]

Reasonably confident it's 2 x 2160 x 2160. Otherwise it would be pointless.

Click to shrink...

It said the display is "almost 4k", 4320x2160 would be better than 4k.

My guess is somewhere between 1800x1800 to 1920x1920. 2x1440x1440 is nowhere near "almost 4k".

 

[deadfolk]

The price is too high for me.

Money I can handle, but I'm not using Facebook.

The Switch firmware indicates a Switch model with an exclusive external display exists, so I guess we'll see what that is.

I think this pricing more reflects the fact that higher resolution displays really don't cost that much money any more. They're so commonplace in so many devices (displays above 1080p res) and so massively mass produced that I suppose it was only a matter of time.

I think Nintendo will try their hand with AR/MR more than VR, VR doesn't fit well with Nintendo's culture IMO.

Except Labo VR has like literally dozens of different VR experiments crammed into it and they also have tried it with Mario and Zelda games. I think that was testing the waters.

MR is VR and AR in one device. That perfectly fits.

1920x1920 is also decent. Just enough so that the clarity is similar to 1080p desktop.

 

[Omeganex9999]

If this thing can offer some better PC VR specs, I'm buying it day one

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Wondering what this means for PSVR2. Wireless headset with this resolution and price is going to be a gamechanger for a lot of people.
