87-574: Original: Android 10 Quest 2 is a standalone virtual reality headset developed by Reality Labs , a division of Meta Platforms . It was unveiled on September 16, 2020, and released on October 13, 2020 as the Oculus Quest 2 . It was then rebranded as the Meta Quest 2 in 2022, as part of a company-wide phase-out of the Oculus brand following the rebranding of Facebook, Inc. as Meta. It

174-629: A development kit platform to create content for the Rift's eventual consumer release. However, both development kits were purchased by many gaming enthusiasts who wished to get an early preview of the technology. The Rift saw its official consumer release in March 2016 with the Oculus Rift CV1 , and was eventually replaced in March 2019 by the Oculus Rift S . The Oculus Rift software library

261-477: A personal computer . The Quest 2 received mostly positive reviews as an incremental update to the Quest, but some of its changes faced criticism, including its stock head strap, reduced interpupillary distance (IPD) options, and a new requirement for users to log in with a Facebook account to use the headset and Oculus services. The Quest 2 was succeeded by the Meta Quest 3 in 2023, but remained in production as

348-609: A recall of the face pads in Canada and the United States, would issue free silicone covers to existing users, and would temporarily suspend global sales of the Quest 2 in order to allow these covers to be included with all future shipments of the headset. Android 10 Android 10 ( codenamed Android Q during development) is the tenth major release and the 17th version of the Android mobile operating system . It

435-488: A $ 200,000 camera rig to produce 360° 3D content for the Rift, including short films, as well as live streaming live events such as sports or concerts in 360° 3D. In July 2015, Oculus announced a deal with Canadian film company Felix & Paul Studios to produce 360° 3D videos for the Rift. The Rift also supports a new medium of entertainment experiences, which Oculus calls "virtual reality movies". Oculus has established Oculus Story Studio to develop this type of content for

522-420: A GeForce GTX 960 or equivalent graphics card, two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port, and Windows 8 or newer. The company stated that these lower requirements were enabled by the adoption of motion interpolation ; on systems that cannot handle full 90 frames per second rendering, the drivers will allow software to render at 45 FPS instead, and generate frames based on differences between them to send to

609-414: A back gesture within specific areas of the screen, a sensitivity control was added for adjusting the size of the target area to activate the gesture, and Google later stated that the drawer widget would support being "peeked" by long-pressing near the edge of the screen, and then swiped open. The traditional three-key navigation system used since Android "Honeycomb" remains supported as an option, along with

696-627: A combination of an app and a specific contact) for use within share menus. Unlike Direct Share, apps publish their targets in advance and do not have to be polled at runtime, improving performance. Native support has been added for MIDI controllers, the AV1 video codec, the Opus audio codec, and HDR10+ . There is also a new standard API for retrieving depth information from camera photos, which can be used for more advanced effects. Native support for aptX Adaptive , LHDC , LLAC , CELT and AAC LATM codecs

783-536: A combination of three-axis gyros , accelerometers , and magnetometers , which make it capable of absolute (relative to Earth) head orientation tracking without drift. The Development Kit 1 also included interchangeable lenses that aim to allow for simple dioptric correction . The entire source for the Rift DK1 was released to the public in September 2014, including the firmware, schematics, and mechanicals for

870-452: A complete system update ("Project Mainline"). In order to license Google Mobile Services , manufacturers must support these updates for specific modules, while the remainder are marked as "recommended" but optional. Selected modules within this system use the new APEX package format, a variation of APK files designed for housing and servicing low-level system components. A major change to storage access permissions known as "Scoped storage"

957-426: A few units, and sales of the strap were paused temporarily before going on sale again. Other issues, such as loose screws in the strap were also reported. In November 2021, Qualcomm stated that at least 10 million Quest 2 headsets had been shipped worldwide. In late-December 2021, the Oculus app (which is required to complete first-time setup) became the most popular app on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store in

1044-512: A high[-]quality consumer-level VR experience"; support for Linux and macOS will be developed in the future. A hardware testing application is available, and Oculus VR has also certified and promoted specific models of pre-built computers that meet these recommendations, from vendors such as Asus , Alienware and Dell Inc. , as being "Oculus Ready". On October 6, 2016, Oculus VR announced lessened hardware recommendations, now suggesting an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD FX 4350 CPU, at least

1131-517: A lower-cost model until September 2024, when it was replaced at the same price point by the Meta Quest 3S . Its design is similar to the Oculus Quest 1, but replacing the black, cloth-covered exterior with white-colored plastic and a black face pad. It is lighter than the first-generation Quest, at 503 grams (17.7 ounces) in comparison to 571 grams (20.1 ounces). The strap was changed to one made of fabric, held with adjustable velcro, rather than

1218-456: A more compact design, replace the infrared tracking rings with cameras for on-board inside-out tracking (thus no longer needing to be within the line of sight of the headset's cameras for best performance), and also include a pressure sensor for pinching gestures, and rechargeable batteries. The Verge was positive in a pre-release review, noting that while it lacked standout features, it did have "worthwhile" improvements such as reduced weight,

1305-634: A new "read privileged phone state" permission in order to read non-resettable device identifiers, such as IMEI number . TLS 1.3 support is also enabled by default. Platform optimizations have been made for foldable smartphones , including app continuity when changing modes, changes to multi-window mode to allow all apps to run simultaneously (rather than only the actively-used app running, and all others being considered "paused"), and additional support for multiple displays. "Direct Share" has been succeeded by "sharing shortcuts". As before, it allows apps to return lists of direct targets for sharing (such as

1392-424: A new entry-level model known as the Meta Quest 3S as a replacement at its $ 299 price point; remaining stock will be sold through the remainder of 2024. Facebook presented an "Elite Strap" accessory, which contains a ring-like pad for the back of the head and a tightness dial, along with a variant with a battery pack built into the strap. Facebook also promoted Logitech headphones "certified" for Quest 2, including

1479-451: A new motion tracking system that utilized an external camera to track infrared dots located on the headset. The new motion tracking system would allow the system to detect actions such as leaning or crouching, which was claimed to help alleviate sickness experienced by users when the software did not respond to these actions. Oculus began shipping Development Kit 2 (DK2) in July 2014. This is

1566-755: A per-eye resolution of 1832×1920, and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz (an increase from 1440×1600 per-eye at 72 Hz). The display uses striped subpixels rather than a PenTile matrix ; this arrangement improves image clarity by reducing the screen-door effect . At launch, the display's refresh rate was locked at 72 Hz via software, with 90 Hz mode as an experimental option limited to the home area only. A software update in November 2020 enabled games to run in 90 Hz mode. In April 2021, an update further added experimental support for 120 Hz mode in games. The headset supports physical interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment at 58 mm, 63 mm and 68 mm, adjusted by physically moving

1653-460: A screen with a better visual appearance and refresh rate than the original Quest, and a re-located USB port. The new strap was panned for having "less support and a slightly clumsier tightening mechanism" (partly rectified by the Elite Strap accessory sold separately), and the new IPD mechanism was considered "annoying" and not as inclusive as that of the first-generation model. In conclusion, it

1740-455: A small refinement of the "Crystal Cove" prototype, featuring several key improvements over the first development kit, such as having a higher-resolution (960×1080 per eye) low-persistence OLED display, higher refresh rate of 75   Hz, positional tracking, a detachable cable, and the omission of the need for the external control box. A teardown of DK2 revealed that it incorporates a modified Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone display, including

1827-529: A software update added "Air Link" as an experimental feature, which allows games to be streamed from a PC over Wi-Fi. In July 2021, experimental APIs were added to the Passthrough feature to allow for augmented reality features. The internal operating system was originally based on Android 10 source code. In March 2023, Meta announced that all new Quest apps would be required to target API level 32 ( Android 12.1 ) by June 30. The included controllers with

1914-462: Is also better, reducing the screen door effect and making individual pixels less noticeable. The LCD is brighter and the color depth is 24 bits per pixel. The 7-inch screen also makes the stereoscopic 3D no longer 100% overlapping, the left eye seeing extra area to the left and the right eye seeing extra area to the right, in which there is no 3D depth perception. The field of view (FOV) is more than 90 degrees horizontal (110 degrees diagonal), which

2001-443: Is an evolution of the original Oculus Quest with a similar design, but with a lighter weight, updated internal specifications, a display with a higher refresh rate and per-eye resolution, and updated Oculus Touch controllers with improved battery life. As with its predecessor, the Quest 2 can run as either a standalone headset with an internal, Android -based operating system, or with Oculus Rift -compatible VR software running on

2088-486: Is deprecated, and may not be included on devices that ship with Android 10. However, it can still be included as an option for continuity purposes on devices upgraded from Pie. Android 10 includes a system-level dark mode . Third-party apps can automatically engage a dark mode when it is active. Apps can also present "settings panels" for specific settings (such as, for example, internet connection and Wi-Fi settings if an app requires internet) via overlay panels, so that

2175-459: Is more than double the FOV of previous VR devices from other companies, and is the primary strength of the device. The resolution is 1280×800 (16:10 aspect ratio), which leads to an effective of 640×800 per eye (4:5 aspect ratio). However, since the device does not feature a 100% overlap between the eyes, the combined horizontal resolution is effectively greater than 640. The image for each eye is shown in

2262-568: Is now mandatory on all Android 10 devices, regardless of specifications, using Adiantum if their CPU is not capable of hardware-accelerated AES. In addition, implementation of "file-based encryption" (first introduced in Android Nougat ) is also mandatory for all devices. On devices shipping with Android 10, security patches for selected system components (such as ANGLE , Conscrypt, media frameworks, networking components, and others) may be serviced via Google Play Store , without requiring

2349-401: Is still compatible with its successor, the Oculus Quest . Through Meant to be Seen (MTBS)'s virtual reality and 3D discussion forums , Palmer Luckey , the founder of Oculus and longtime MTBS discussion forum moderator, developed the idea of creating a new head-mounted display that was both more effective than what was then on the market, and inexpensive for gamers. The first prototype of

2436-531: Is supported on Android 10, and became mandatory for all apps beginning with Android 11. Apps are only allowed to access files in external storage that they had created themselves (preferably contained within an app-specific directory), and audio, image, and video files contained within the Music, Pictures, or Videos directories. Any other file may only be accessed via user intervention through the backwards-incompatible Google Storage Access Frameworks. Apps must have

2523-625: The "Horizon" brand. In March 2022, system software version 38 replaced all instances of the Oculus logo with that of Meta, and by April 2022, newer production runs of the Quest 2 hardware had the Oculus branding replaced by Meta. Meta aired a commercial for the Quest 2 and Horizon Worlds, "Old Friends, New Fun", during Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. In July 2022, citing increased production costs and to "enable us to continue investing in ways that will keep driving this increasingly competitive industry forward for consumers and developers alike", it

2610-614: The 5 cameras on the HMD to track points in the environment and infrared LEDs on the controllers, information from accelerometers in both the HMD and controllers, and computer vision to predict what path the HMD and controllers are most likely to take. The Rift S uses a DisplayPort 1.2 port and one USB 3.0 port, as opposed to the HDMI and USB 3.0 port used on the Rift CV1. The Rift S targeted the same price point (USD$ 399) and hardware requirements as

2697-409: The 64 GB model of the Quest 2 was replaced by a 128 GB model at the same price point. In November 2021, as part of the rebranding of Facebook, Inc. as Meta , the Oculus brand began to be phased out; the Oculus Quest 2 began to be referred to "Meta Quest 2" in promotional materials, Oculus Store was rebranded as "Quest Store", and Oculus-developed community platforms (such as Facebook Horizon ) took on

2784-484: The CV1 with software updates for "the foreseeable future". On May 21, 2019, Oculus began shipping a new VR headset known as Rift S. The Rift S has a 1,280 ×1,440 LCD @ 80 Hz and slightly larger field of view than that of the CV1, but lacks mechanical IPD adjustment (IPD adjustment is software-only). The Rift S tracks the position of itself and its controllers in 3D space using a system known as Oculus Insight, which uses

2871-509: The Crescent Bay Prototype, featuring per-eye displays with a 1080×1200 resolution, running at 90 Hz, 360-degree positional tracking, integrated audio, a vastly increased positional tracking volume, and a heavy focus on consumer ergonomics and aesthetics. In March 2019, during the announcement of the Rift S, it was said that the Rift S would replace the original Rift. However, Oculus VR stated that they planned to support

2958-680: The Development Kit 2 using SDK version 0.8 or above are compatible with the Rift; however, content developed for the Development Kit 1 or with older versions of the SDK will have to be recompiled using the latest SDK version to be compatible. On December 21, 2015, Oculus announced the release of their finalized Rift 1.0 SDK, combined with the start of shipping their final version of the Oculus Rift VR headset to developers. At Oculus's 3rd annual conference (Oculus Connect 3), it announced

In addition, Facebook partnered with Logitech to support their K830 keyboard as part of the "Infinite Office" feature, allowing the keyboard to be detected and displayed within a virtual reality environment. In October 2022, Meta unveiled new Touch Pro controllers for the Meta Quest Pro , which are also available as an optional accessory for existing Quest 2 headsets. These controllers have

3219-722: The German Federal Cartel Office over the requirement. At the Facebook Connect event in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg stated that the company was "working on making it so you can log in into Quest with an account other than your personal Facebook account". Meta later announced in July 2022 that it would establish a new "Meta account" system (a spiritual successor to Oculus accounts) to link Meta apps and platforms, and that users who transition to Meta account would be allowed to decouple their Facebook logins from its VR platforms. However, Ars Technica noted that

3306-528: The Google Store. A total of six beta or release-candidate versions were released before the final release. The beta program was expanded with the release of Beta 3 on May 7, 2019, being made available on 14 partner devices from 11 OEMs; twice as many devices compared to Android Pie's beta. Beta access was removed from the Huawei Mate 20 Pro on May 21, 2019, due to U.S. government sanctions, but

3393-613: The Oculus Rift was created in 2011 by Palmer Luckey (then 18 years old) in his parents’ garage in Long Beach, California . Luckey had been building his own virtual reality headsets since 2009, but the 2011 prototype was the first to incorporate key technologies like geometric pre-distortion and a wide stereoscopic field-of-view that would come to define all of his subsequent designs. Luckey decided to drop out of college and start Oculus VR , intending to turn his prototype into

3480-501: The Quest 2 are the third-generation Oculus Touch controllers. The design of the new controllers was influenced by the original Oculus Rift controllers. Their battery life has also been increased four-fold over the controllers included with the first-generation Quest. Quest 2 supports all games and software made for the first-generation model, and existing titles can be updated to support higher graphical quality on Quest 2. It also supports Quest Link (USB) and Air Link (Wi-Fi), which allows

3567-470: The Rift CV1, and has replaced the Rift CV1 since. During September 2020, it was announced that the Rift S would be discontinued in 2021 in order for Oculus to focus on the Oculus Quest 2 . In 2021, the Rift S was officially discontinued and was no longer available on the Oculus website, effectively ending the Rift line. The Oculus Rift runtime officially supports Microsoft Windows , macOS , and Linux . The installation package includes components such as

This is a feature complete SDK which handles for

4002-443: The United States for the first time—implying that Quest headsets had been heavily purchased as Christmas gifts during the holiday shopping season . The Quest 2 had faced criticism over the mandate that users must log in with a Facebook account in order to use the Quest 2 and any future Oculus products, including the amount of user data that could be collected by the company via virtual reality hardware and interactions , such as

4089-460: The back of the headset. Oculus has also licensed software library RealSpace3D, which is expected to provide the Rift with HRTF and reverb algorithms. During a panel at SXSW 2015 , titled "Explore the Future of VR", it was publicly announced for the first time that the prototype uses two screens instead of one as previously thought. Oculus VR announced on May 6, 2015, that the consumer version of

4176-625: The base software, called Core 2.0, introduced a more interactive default environment, allowing the user to navigate and customize it with imported 3D models. However in 2023, Meta, formerly known as Oculus, closed Oculus Home and killed it off. Oculus maintains a market place for applications for the headsets. The listings are curated to only allow applications that run smoothly on the recommended hardware. Most listings are also rated on their comfort level based on their likelihood of causing motion sickness or number of jump scares. However, developers do not have to use Oculus Home to distribute content for

4263-421: The cheapest. At the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo , Id Software gave demonstrations of their games running on the prototype Oculus Rift and announced that their newest game, Doom 3 BFG Edition , would be compatible with the Oculus Rift. These early prototypes used a high speed IMU , 5.6" LCD , and wide-FOV optics to project a 90 degrees horizontal and 110 degrees vertical stereoscopic 3D view onto

Google released Beta 5 on July 10, 2019, with the final API 29 SDK as well as the latest optimizations and bug fixes. Google released Beta 6, the final release candidate for testing, on August 7, 2019. On August 22, 2019, it was announced that Android Q would be branded solely as "Android 10" with no codename, effectively ending

4437-682: The developer the various aspects of making virtual reality content, such as the optical distortion and advanced rendering techniques. The Oculus SDK is directly integrated with the popular game engines Unity 5 , Unreal Engine 4 , and Cryengine . This allows for developers already familiar with these engines to create VR content with little to no VR-specific code. The Rift is an open platform, and thus developers do not need any approval or verification to develop, distribute, or sell content for it, and do not have to pay any licensing fees. The SDK, however, cannot be modified or reused for other purposes or hardware without permission. Content developed for

These include direct mode, asynchronous timewarp , and asynchronous spacewarp . When

4959-426: The headset to be used with Oculus Rift -compatible software on a PC. It is not backwards compatible with Oculus Go apps and games. The Quest 2 was first released in two SKUs differentiated by storage capacity, with a 64 GB model priced at US$ 299, and a 256 GB model (replacing the original Quest's 128 GB model) priced at $ 399; both were $ 100 cheaper than their equivalent SKUs for the first-generation Quest. In 2021,

5046-476: The headset to maintain its frame rate. Oculus promoted that these changes lowered the average hardware cost of a PC meeting these specifications to US$ 500 and would also enable certain laptops to run Oculus Rift. In June 2018, Oculus VR updated its recommended OS spec to Windows 10. While Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users would still be able to access the standard Rift experience, newer features and apps might require an upgrade to Windows 10. Oculus has stated that

5394-427: The limited IPD options, worse battery life, and the controllers having less grip and reduced accuracy on more intensive games. The switch from OLED to LCD was shown to produce "crisper" images but more "washed out" color. The Elite Strap accessory was met with criticism initially due to issues with the straps breaking randomly. In response, Facebook stated that the issue was a "processing inconsistency" affecting only

5481-621: The new technology, called "Asynchronous Spacewarp (ASW)". This technology allows the Rift to compensate for the dropped frames. According to Oculus, ASW reduces the minimum specs of a PC to run the Rift without any judder. In May 2015, Oculus VR announced "recommended" hardware specifications for computers utilizing Oculus Rift, specifying a CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i5-4590 , at least 8GB of RAM, at least an AMD Radeon R9 290 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 graphics card, an HDMI 1.3 output, three USB 3.0 ports, and one USB 2.0 port. Oculus VR stated that these requirements would remain in force for

In December 2020, Facebook stated that it

5655-614: The panel as a barrel distorted image that is then corrected by pincushion effect created by lenses in the headset, generating a spherical-mapped image for each eye. Initial prototypes used a Hillcrest Labs 3DoF head tracker that is normally 125 Hz, with a special firmware requested by John Carmack that makes it run at 250 Hz, tracker latency being vital due to the dependency of virtual reality's realism on response time. The latest version includes Oculus's new 1000 Hz Adjacent Reality Tracker, which aims to provide much lower latency tracking than almost any other tracker. It uses

5742-493: The permission before a device was upgraded to Android 10. In February 2019, Google unveiled Adiantum , an encryption cipher designed primarily for use on devices that do not have hardware-accelerated support for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), such as low-end devices. Google stated that this cipher was five times faster than AES-256-XTS on an ARM Cortex-A7 CPU. Therefore, device encryption

5829-566: The practice of alphabetically codenaming major releases based on names of confectionary products (including brand names), arguing that this was not inclusive to international users, due either to the aforementioned products not being internationally known, or being difficult to pronounce by speakers of certain languages. Additionally, Android VP of engineering Dave Burke stated that he personally would have chosen queen cake . He also noted that there were references to "qt"—an abbreviation of quince tart —within internal files and build systems relating to
