Xaqiiqda Virtual^{(Virtual Reality)} (VR) waxay ka fogaatay xirmooyinka horumariyaha Oculus Rift ee ugu horreeyay sanadka 2016 iyo xitaa in ka sii badan VR-yadii hore ee 90-meeyadii. In kasta oo aanu kaamil ahayn, VR-ga casriga ahi^{(modern VR)} waxa uu xaliyay dhibaatooyinka dhabta ah ee halista ah ee ka hor istaagay in VR uu ahaado mid weyn. 

Haddii aad leedahay qalabka jiilka kowaad sida HTC Vive asalka ah ama Oculus Rift , waxaad weli haysataa qalab cajiib ah gacmahaaga oo bixiya khibrado VR cajiib ah. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aad suuqa ugu jirto dhageysiga cusub maanta, waxaad haysataa doorashooyin badan oo xiiso leh, taas oo noo keenta Oculus Quest .

Quest waa madax - madaxeedka VR ee taagan. Taas macnaheedu waa inaadan u baahnayn inaad ku xidhid kombuyuutar ama aad ku xidho taleefan casriga ah^(smartphone) . Taasi waxay ka dhigaysaa mid la awoodi karo oo la geli karo adduunka VR-ga qaaliga ah, laakiin dhawaan Oculus wuxuu sidoo kale awood u siiyay aaladaha Quest inay u dhaqmaan sidii aaladaha Oculus Rift , oo ku xidhan kumbuyuutarka USB 3 . 

Tani waxay si buuxda u beddeshaa sida ay u qasban tahay Quest maadaama ay tahay midka dhegaha dhagaha ee u muuqda inuu wada qabanayo, isla markaana ku kacaya la mid ah moodeelka ku xidhan ee Oculus Rift S. Quest runtii miyuu yahay jaakadaha ganacsiyada oo dhan? 

Waxaan sidoo kale dib u eegis buuxda ku samaynay Oculus Quest , oo aad ka arki karto halkan kanaalkayaga YouTube:

Tilmaamaha

Kahor inta aynaan u gudbin muuqalada iyo indha-indhaynta Oculus Quest ee dib u eegista, waxaa habboon in aan dulmarno qaar ka mid ah tilmaamaha muhiimka ah si aad u ogaato waxaad helayso.

Marka hore^(First) , Quest - ku wuxuu leeyahay laba OLED ( Organic Light-emitting Diode ) oo xalin ah 1440x1600px isha kasta. Is barbar dhig taas Rift^(Rift) asalka ah , kaas oo leh "kaliya" 1080x1200px isha kasta. Intaa waxaa dheer, muraayadaha Quest-ka ee Quest aad ayey u horumarsan yihiin, oo leh feejignaan iyo hufnaan ka wanaagsan sidii aan ku aragnay soo-saarkoodii ugu horreeyay ee qaddarka, booska VR-ga ku xidhan.

Marka laga reebo xallinta, muraayadaha soo-bandhigidda waxay taageeraan heerka dib-u-cusboonaysiinta ee 72Hz, kaas oo u eg hoos u dhigidda warqadda marka la barbar dhigo 90Hz iyo bandhigyada kale ee ugu sarreeya ee VR-ga. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kuwani waa daahsoon hoose, adkaysi hooseeya kaas oo si macquul ah uga sarreeya muraayadaha xawaaraha dheereeya ee jiilka kowaad ee madax-madaxeedka casriga ah ee VR.

Helitaanka tirooyinka goobta-aragtiyeedka saxda ah waxay caddaatay inay adagtahay, laakiin qiyaasaha qolo saddexaad ee aanu akhrinay waxay soo jeedinaysaa in Questku^(Quest) bixiyo ugu yaraan 90 darajo oo muuqaal toosan. Kaas^(Which) oo ugu yaraan u wanaagsan sida Rift .

Maadaama kani yahay madax-madaxeedka VR ee taagan, waxa kale oo uu leeyahay kombuyuutar buuxa oo dusha saaran. Xuddunta Quest waa Snapdragon 835 . Tani waxay ahayd nidaamka calanka-on-a-chip ee lagu arkay telefoonada sida Samsung Galaxy S8 , taas oo macnaheedu yahay in ay sii socoto sannado. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Quest ma laha xaddidaadyo kulayl oo la mid ah taleefoonka mandiilka-dhuuban. 

Sido kale si firfircoon ayaa loo qaboojiyey, taas oo macnaheedu yahay xawaaruhu saacada sare 835 waxa ay la socotaa 4GB oo RAM ah^(RAM) iyo 64GB ama 128GB oo meel kayd ah. Waxaan dib u eegeynaa qaabka 64GB, laakiin marka laga reebo cabbirka kaydinta ma jiro farqi u dhexeeya labada nooc.

Maxaa Ku Jira Sanduuqa?^{(What’s In The Box?)}

Haddii aad rabto inaad si sax ah u aragto waxa ku jira sanduuqa, markaa waxaad arki kartaa fiidiyoowgeena unboxing halkan^{(unboxing video here)} ! Haddii aad jeclaan lahayd inaad akhrido oo aad male-awaalkaaga isticmaasho, taasi sidoo kale waa OK.

Ma jiraan qaybo aad u badan oo ku jira sanduuqa, sida caadiga ah ee Oculus , baakadu waa mid tayo sare leh. Waxaad si sahal ah u isticmaali kartaa sanduuqa la qaabeeyey meel aad ku kaydiso raadintaada marka aanad isticmaalin. Si caqli-gal ah, dekedda ku dallaca^(Cleverly) ee USB-C ee ku taal unugyada madaxa-madaxeedka ee ugu muhiimsan waa la geli karaa inta uu Questku ku jiro sanduuqiisa.

Xagga waxa ku jira sanduuqa, tani waa waxa aad heli doonto marka aad furka ka siibto:

• Qalabka dhegaha ee Oculus Quest.
• Laba kontaroolayaasha Oculus Touch.
• Fiilada dheer ee USB-C^(USB-C) ee ku dallacaadda iyo xogta.
• Spacer ee muraayadaha.
• Xargaha USB-C.
• Laba baytari oo AA ah oo loogu talagalay kontaroolayaasha.
• Dukumeenti

Dhibka kaliya ee isla markiiba ah ayaa ahaa ku darida dabaylaha aynaan ku xidhin karin Waa darbi-wart u eg US, in kasta oo liiska Amazon ee ^(Amazon)Quest -kan lagu calaamadiyay sida "UK Import". Adabiyeyaasha^(Adapters) maaha kuwo adag in la helo ama qaali ah, laakiin dadka intooda badan uma baahna inay dhibaan, maadaama dabaysha USB^(USB) ay u badan tahay inay daadiyaan guri kasta oo caadi ah. Waxaan qabanay 60W MacBook Pro charger, kaas oo si fiican u shaqeeyay. 

Dejinta

Dejinta Quest waxay ahayd mid toos ah. Sanduuqa dhexdiisa, cutubkayagu waxa uu lahaa ilaa 50%, laakiin waa fikrad wanaagsan in lagu dallaco iyada oo aan loo eegin waxa taangiga ku jira maadaama xidhiidhkaaga intarneetku saamaynayo inta ay qaadanayso in wax walba la kiciyo.

Naftaada u roonow oo qor lambarkaaga WiFi hoos ama xafid, sababtoo ah mid ka mid ah waxyaabaha ugu horreeya ee aad samayn doonto ka dib markaad shido cutubka oo aad raacdo tilmaamaha bilowga waa inaad ku xidho shabakada. Marka lagu xiro, waa inaad abuurtaa akoon Oculus , isticmaal akoonkaaga Facebook ama aad gasho koontada Oculus ee jirta haddii aad leedahay mid ka mid ah madax-madaxeedyada kale.

Raaxada

Qayb muhiim ah oo ka mid ah madax-madaxeed kasta oo VR ah ayaa hubaal ah sida ay ugu roon tahay in la xidho. Natiijooyinka waaxdan way isku dhafan yihiin marka ay timaado raadinta^(Quest) . Naqshadaynta sameecadaha dhegaha ayaa aad ugu eg kuwa kale ee Oculus . Halkii aad isticmaali lahayd maro-qaabka halo sida PSVR iyo Windows Mixed Reality headsets ay sameeyaan, waa xal saddex-suunka velcro ah. 

Guud ahaan waxaan ogaanay in sameecadu ay tahay mid loo dulqaadan karo mustaqbalka dhow iyo midka dhexe, laakiin dhab ahaantii waxay cadaadis saaraysaa qofka wajigiisa. Tan waxaa ka sii dartey xaqiiqda ah in adkeynta ama debcinta sameecadaha dhegaha ay tahay habka kaliya ee lagu hagaajin karo dhererka focal, mar haddii Quest uusan lahayn habayn farsamo si uu u beddelo masaafada ishaada ilaa muraayadda.

Isticmaalka farsamada saxda ah, waxaad heli kartaa diiradda ugu fiican adiga oo aan dhaafin cidhiidhiga wajigaaga, laakiin waa dhib yar marka aad rabto inaad ciyaarto. Isagoo^(Speaking) ka hadlaya diiradda, uma baahnid inaan isticmaalno muraayadaha muraayadaha xittaa lammaane caadi ah oo muraayado ah oo aan rim lahayn, laakiin ku habboonaanta booska waxay sidoo kale gacan ka geysan kartaa kordhinta dhererka fogaanta. Kaas oo^(Which) faa'iido u yeelan kara shakhsiyaad gaar ah.

Guud ahaan heerarka raaxada ayaa ahaa kuwo loo dulqaadan karo, laakiin fiirinta wax ka beddelka wax ka beddelka madaxa halo ee qolo saddexaad ayaa laga yaabaa inay mudan tahay in la tixgeliyo.

Maktabadda Software-ka

Waxaan soo iibsannay wax ka yar $200 oo software ah waxaanan sidoo kale isku daynay dhowr ka mid ah bandhigyada bilaashka ah ee ku jira Dukaanka Quest^{(Quest Store)} . Waxaad arki kartaa liiska abka oo ay la socdaan qiimahooda hoos.

In kasta oo ay jiraan magacyo waaweyn oo kala duwan oo la soo bandhigay, qofku wuxuu helayaa dareenka ah inay jirto feejignaan horumarineed oo xaddidan oo la siinayo Quest sidii madal hadda. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ciyaaro cusub, khibrado, iyo abka utility ayaa si joogto ah loo sii daayaa oo la iftiimiyay. Bakhaarku wuxuu kaloo u muuqdaa inuu si joogto ah u wado dalabyo gaar ah. Magacyo badan oo Oculus Rift PC caan ah ayaa hadda leh noocyo Quest oo xaalado badan, waxaad labada noocba ku heli doontaa hal qiimo.

Sicirka bakhaarku wuxuu u muuqdaa mid macquul ah sidoo kale. Ciyaarihii ugu qaalisanaa ee aanu aragnay waxa ay ku kaceen ilaa $30. Qiyaastii kala badh qiimaha ciyaarta konsole-ka qaaliga ah. Haddii ciyaarahan ay u qalmaan qiimaha adiga ayay ku xiran tahay. Ciyaaraha sida BoxVR ama Beatsaber waxay leeyihiin cimri aan xad lahayn. Mar labaad, waayo-aragnimada sheekada sida Vader Immortal waa kuwo gaaban. Si kastaba ha noqotee, mahadda Oculus Link , Quest hadda waxay leedahay xulasho aad u weyn oo cinwaanno ah oo aad ciyaari karto. Inta aad haysato kombayutarka aad ku wado.

Trick The Big Party: Oculus Link^{(The Big Party Trick: Oculus Link)}

Hadda waxaan gaadhnay mid ka mid ah qodobbada go'aaminta waaweyn ee dib u eegista Quest Oculus^{(Oculus Quest)} , ugu yaraan annaga. Oculus Link wuxuu ballan qaadayaa inuu u rogi doono Quest Rift ^(Quest),^(Rift) taas oo macnaheedu yahay gelitaanka dhammaan cinwaannada Rift iyo SteamVR . Taasi waa maktabad aad u weyn oo matalaysa qaar ka mid ah muuqaallada ugu wanaagsan ee VR ay bixiso. 

Waxaad u baahan tahay PC gaming awood dhexdhexaad ah iyo fiilada USB 3 ^{(USB 3)} Nooca A^{(Type A)} ilaa C oo tayo sare leh ama USB 3 .1 Nooca C^{(Type C)} ilaa C. Dhowaan, Oculus waxa uu shahaado siiyay fiilooyinka USB 2.0 , sida midka lagu dallacay dallacaadda, sida uu ula jaan qaadayo Oculus Link^{(Oculus Link)} .

Waxaad akhrin kartaa gacmaheena buuxda ee dib u eegista Link Beta halkan^{(hands-on review of the Link Beta here)} , laakiin nooca gaaban ayaa ah in inta lagu jiro saacadaha aan ku qaadanay muuqaalka ka hor inta aan la qorin dib u eegista, ma jiraan wax arrimo ah oo dhan. Magacyada ugu sarreeya sida Half Life Alyx ayaa si fiican u shaqeeyay, beddelka u dhexeeya Oculus Link iyo habka Quest waxay ahayd mid fudud sida batoonka gujinta iyo xitaa SteamVR iyo Epic Game Store cinwaanada ayaa si fudud u ogaaday Quest iyo kontaroolayaasha taabashada sida Rift . 

Ilaa hadda inta aan sheegi karno, waxay u shaqeysaa si la mid ah Rift -kii aan u adeegsan jirnay waagii hore, runtiina, way ku fiican tahay iyada oo ay mahad naqeyso horumarinta optics, dabagalka iyo shaashadaha.

Waxqabadka VR & Xukunka^{(VR Performance & Verdict)}

In kasta oo ay leeyihiin shaashado refresh-qiim hooseeya marka loo eego Rift , Quest waxa uu dareemaa raaxo la'aan iyada oo aan wax arrimo ah oo saameeya immersion. Wireless-ka, cabirka qolka VR waa muujin iyo nidaamka ilaaliyaha^(Guardian) ayaa si aan cillad lahayn uga shaqeeyay imtixaankeena. 

Dabcan, madaxa dhegaha sida Valve Index wuxuu bixiyaa VR wireless oo leh sawirada PC iyo qalabka guud ee ka wanaagsan, laakiin Questku^(Quest) wuxuu ku jiraa fasal u gaar ah marka ay timaado wax-qabad, waxqabad iyo qiimo. Thanks to Link, kani hadda waa madax-madaxeedka VR ee dadka badankiisu ay tahay inay marka hore eegaan: Hal headset si uu u xukumo dhamaantood, uguna fiican fasalka sidii nidaam gooni ah. 

Oculus Quest Review – A VR Headset Worth Buying

Virtual Reality (VR) has come a long way from the first Oculus Rift developer kits in 2016 and even further from the primitive VR of the early 90s. While not perfect, modern VR has solved the truly serious problems that prevented VR from being great. 

If you own a first-generation device like the original HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, you still have an incredible device on your hands that provides fantastic VR experiences. However, if you’re in the market for a new headset today, you have many interesting choices, which brings us to the Oculus Quest.

The Quest is a standalone VR headset. This means that you don’t need to connect it to a computer or attach a smartphone to it. That makes it an affordable entry into the premium VR world, but recently Oculus also enabled Quest devices to act as Oculus Rift devices, connected to a computer by USB 3. 

This completely changes how compelling the Quest is since it’s the one headset that seems to do it all, while costing the same as the tethered Oculus Rift S model. Is the Quest really a jack of all trades? 

We also did a full review of the Oculus Quest, which you can view here on our YouTube channel:

The Specifications

Before we get to hands-on impressions and observations in this Oculus Quest review, it’s worth going over some of the key specifications so that you know what you’re getting.

First off, the Quest has two OLED (Organic Light-emitting Diode) panels at a resolution of 1440x1600px per eye. Compare that to the original Rift, which has a “mere” 1080x1200px per eye. On top of this, the lenses in the Quest are significantly more advanced, with better focus and clarity than we saw with their initial product release in the premium, tethered VR space.

Apart from resolution, the display panels support a refresh rate of 72Hz, which sounds like an on-paper downgrade compared to the 90Hz and up displays in other high-end VR headsets. However, these are low-latency, low-persistence which subjectively outperform the faster panels in first-generation modern VR headsets.

Getting accurate field-of-view figures proved challenging, but third-party estimates we’ve read suggest that the Quest offers at least 90 degrees of horizontal view. Which is at least as good as the Rift.

Since this is a standalone VR headset, it also has a full onboard computer. The core of the Quest is the Snapdragon 835. This was the flagship system-on-a-chip seen in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8, which means it’s getting on in years. However, the Quest doesn’t have the same thermal constraints as a razor-thin phone. 

It’s also actively cooled, which means higher clock speeds and no throttling. The 835 is paired with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage space. We’re reviewing the 64GB model, but other than storage size there is no difference between the two models.

What’s In The Box?

If you want to see exactly what’s in the box, then you can watch our unboxing video here! If you’d rather just read it and use your imagination, that’s OK too.

There aren’t too many pieces inside the box and, as usual for Oculus, the packaging is of high quality. You can easily use the molded box as a place to store your Quest when not in use. Cleverly, the USB-C charging port on the main headset units can be accessed while the Quest rests in its box.

As for the box contents, this is what you’ll find once you slide the lid off:

• The Oculus Quest headset.
• Two Oculus Touch controllers.
• A long USB-C cable for charging and data.
• A spacer for glasses.
• A USB-C charger.
• Two AA batteries for the controllers.
• Documentation.

The only immediate problem was the inclusion of a charger we couldn’t plugin. It’s a US-style wall-wart, despite the Amazon listing for this Quest labeled as a “UK Import”. Adapters aren’t hard to find or expensive, but most people needn’t bother, since USB chargers probably litter every typical home. We grabbed a 60W MacBook Pro charger, which worked a treat. 

The Setup

Setting up the Quest was pretty straightforward. Out of the box, our unit had about 50% charge, but it’s a good idea to have it charging no matter what’s in the tank since your internet connection influences how long it takes to get everything up and running.

Do yourself a favor and write your WiFi password down or memorize it, since one of the first things you’ll have to do after turning the unit on and following the startup instructions is to connect to the net. Once connected, you’ll either have to create an Oculus account, use your FaceBook account or log in with an existing Oculus account if you own one of their other headsets.

Comfort

An important part of any VR headset is certainly how comfortable it is to wear. Results in this department are mixed when it comes to the Quest. The design of the headset is very similar to other Oculus headsets. Rather than using a halo-style headband as the PSVR and Windows Mixed Reality headsets do, it’s a three-strap velcro solution. 

Overall we found the headset tolerable in the short- to medium-term, but it definitely puts pressure on one’s face. This is made worse by the fact that tightening or loosening the headset is the only way to tune focal length, since the Quest doesn’t have a mechanical adjustment to vary the distance from your eye to the lens.

Using the right technique, you can get the perfect focus without overdoing the tightness on your face, but it’s a minor hassle when you want to play. Speaking of focus, we had no need to use the glasses spacer even with a normal pair of rimless glasses, but fitting the spacer can also help increase focal length. Which could be useful to certain individuals.

Overall comfort levels were tolerable, but looking into a third-party halo headband modification might be worth considering.

The Software Library

We bought just short of $200 worth of software and also tried several of the free demos included in the Quest Store. You can see the list of apps along with their prices below.

While there are a variety of great titles on offer, one gets the sense that there’s limited development attention being given to the Quest as a platform right now. Nonetheless, new games, experiences, and utility apps are released regularly and highlighted. The store also seems to run special offers on a regular basis. Many popular Oculus Rift PC titles now have Quest versions and in many cases, you’ll get both versions for one price.

Pricing in the store seems reasonable as well. The most expensive games we saw cost around $30. About half the price of a premium console game. Whether these games are worth it for the price is up to you. Games like BoxVR or Beatsaber have infinite longevity. Then again, narrative experiences like Vader Immortal are relatively short. However, thanks to Oculus Link, the Quest now has a much larger selection of titles you can play. As long as you have the computer to drive it.

The Big Party Trick: Oculus Link

Now we get to one of the big deciding factors in this Oculus Quest review, at least for us. Oculus Link promises to turn the Quest into a Rift, which means access to all Rift and SteamVR titles. That’s a massive library and represents some of the very best visuals VR has to offer. 

You do need a moderately powerful gaming PC and a high-quality USB 3 Type A to C cable or a USB 3.1 Type C to C cable. Recently, Oculus has certified USB 2.0 cables, such as the one included for charging, as compatible with Oculus Link.

You can read our full hands-on review of the Link Beta here, but the short version is that during the hours we spent with the feature before writing this review, there were no issues at all. High-end titles such as Half Life Alyx worked perfectly, switching between Oculus Link and Quest mode was as simple as clicking a button and even SteamVR and Epic Game Store titles simply detected the Quest and its Touch controllers as a Rift. 

As far as we could tell, it works just as well as the Rift we’ve used in the past and, in fact, is better thanks to improved optics, tracking and screens.

VR Performance & Verdict

Despite having lower refresh-rate screens than the Rift, the Quest feels snappy without any issues that affect immersion. The wireless, room-scale VR is a revelation and the Guardian system worked flawlessly in our testing. 

Of course, a headset like the Valve Index offers wireless VR with PC graphics and better overall hardware, but the Quest is in a class of its own when it comes to versatility, performance and price. Thanks to Link, this is now the VR headset that most people should look at first: One headset to rule them all, and best in class as a standalone system.
