The three-prong headband is effective in distributing weight, and the bands are soft enough not to cause discomfort, even hours into gameplay. The Meta Quest 2 is a very comfortable device – one that’s clearly learned iterative lessons from its predecessors. Meta Quest 2: Comfort and everyday use Image: GamesHub The Meta Quest 2 shines brightest when used as a standalone device, but its PC VR compatibility is also extremely breezy, and opens up the device’s potential. All you’ll need to do is set up a Meta account and a personal profile, and you’re good to play games on the device, either standalone or via connection to a hearty PC. Previously, a Facebook account was required to run the device, but this is no longer the case. From there, you’ll be prompted to set up a ‘play area’ where it’s safe to roam – this appears as a glowing outline that warns you of any obstacles – and set up an account. All you need to do is fit the head straps over your noggin, adjust for grip strength and comfort, and turn on the device. The Meta Quest 2 runs straight out of the box – no cables required. While the device has recently been given a price bump to contend with global inflation and economic circumstances, it remains one of the most affordable VR devices (AU $629 for the 128GB model AU $789 for the 256GB model) and the most accessible in the market – in fact, it’s the most accessible on multiple levels, including in easy set-up and gameplay. The Meta Quest 2 doesn’t quite realise this wild and uncanny vision, often touted by tech gurus and ‘innovators’ – but the hearty device is a compelling and feature-rich stepping stone towards this future. Our virtual lives will be richer than our physical ones, and VR devices will be our lifeline. We’ll work in VR too, reporting on virtual spaces, or spending time creating items that can be bought and sold – potentially on a blockchain. We’ll live in virtual worlds, conversing in the metaverse via uniquely designed avatars that represent our ideal selves.
