Facebook and Oculus have announced the launch date for the new Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S virtual reality headsets. Both devices will hit retailers in 22 countries on May 21, and pre-orders are available now. The cost of each of the new products is $399 for the base model.
Oculus Quest is a self-contained virtual reality headset that has been last autumn. The device does not need to be connected to a computer or any other device to function. The headset works on the basis of a productive chip from a Qualcomm chip and has a built-in battery. The headset will come with a protective case, as well as a pair of Touch controllers and charging cables.
To interact with the headset must be connected to the computer. However, in this model, it is not required to configure external cameras, since the applied Insight technology allows you to track the movements of the user and controllers due to the camera located on the headset itself. This means that the device can be connected to a laptop without problems, since the user will no longer need a large number of USB ports for cameras.
Buyers will be able to choose between two versions of the Oculus Quest. The 64GB model is priced at $399, while the 128GB version is $499. From launch, Oculus Quest customers will have over 50 games available for purchase, many ported from Oculus Rift. Each of the headsets in question will include a demo version of Beat Saber.
