Oculus released the first major update to the new Quest 2 . As the company promised during its presentation, with this update its virtual reality headsets obtain the ability to reach a refresh rate of 90 Hz . An important leap that improves the user experience both with the system’s own apps and games, etc. But there is something else that you are also interested in knowing.
Enjoy your Oculus Quest 2 at 90 Hz
Oculus released a new update for its Quest 2 . With it the company adds important improvements, especially one that was announced when this virtual reality headset was presented: the ability to display images at a refresh rate of 90 Hz .
Available now for all users who have a Quest 2, after updating the system you can start enjoying some images that are now displayed in a much more fluid way. And the best, by default. So those who have less experience in terms of adjustments and others will not have to complicate.
Of course, for now this only applies to the system, third-party apps will have to be updated to add support. The good news is that soon titles such as Superhot, Echo VR, Beat Saber, Job Simulator and some more will begin to support and you will see how from now on you enjoy much more. Although this is not the only really important novelty in this update. There are also other features that you will be interested in knowing.
Oculus Link drops beta, Oculus Move and more
The first is related to the use with a PC as a viewer. When you connect the Quest 2 through a compatible USB 3.0 cable or the Oculus Link, you will have the possibility to activate, through a selector available in the Oculus PC app itself, the display of images at 72 Hz, 80 Hz or 90 Hz . That and a default setting for how your computer’s GPU should perform will also improve the user experience.
The second is that these next few days Oculus Move will also arrive, a painful application to know clearly and quickly all the exercise you do while using these virtual reality helmets. Thus, as you can see in the video above, through an interface based on circles you can know the different data that is calculated using the different included sensors, algorithms and other options.
Regarding the data, these show the calories that you estimate that you have consumed, the minutes in movement or the rest of the challenges achieved. Nothing really new, but very useful and practical to add extra value and not have the feeling of having just been connected to one more screen. Something that is important, because if you see that there is a benefit at the health level, it is less weighty to spend some time on its different options.
Finally, a new application for mobile devices will arrive at the end of the month that will allow you to buy games or experiences through the Oculus Store. What’s more, you can even make it and send it to a friend with an Oculus goggle. And along with this the option to record what we do with the Oculus app and then share it if we want.
In summary, an interesting update is received by the Quest 2. It is still, seen what has been seen, a product for those who believe and are very interested in virtual reality, and the controversy of using Facebook accounts seems to be far from being Olivada. But we suppose it will be a matter of time and if you are interested, now it is a somewhat better product.
