Final thoughts<br />

It is surprising to see such a revamp coming just a bit more than one year after the<br />

original Quest‟s launch, but the new hardware is a sign of Oculus itching to double<br />

down on a new direction wholly focused on a single, more ac<strong>ce</strong>ssible devi<strong>ce</strong> driving<br />

their vision.<br />

This is the most convincing argument Oculus has made for VR sin<strong>ce</strong> its in<strong>ce</strong>ption<br />

and pricing the devi<strong>ce</strong> at $299, on par with a Nintendo Switch, will likely open up<br />

more folks to the vision. For existing Quest owners, this release will probably be a<br />

tad frustrating, because I think it‟s worth the upgrade and its coming in so quickly<br />

even as Fa<strong>ce</strong>book has struggled to keep the original Quest in stock.<br />

It‟s a fantastic VR devi<strong>ce</strong>, but the question I‟ve struggled with is whether a fantastic<br />

headset is still a great gadget. It‟s still largely for gamers and will still fall danger to<br />

getting mainstream users excited for a few weeks and then spending the rest of its<br />

life in the closet.<br />
