This video is about me explaining my experiences with the Oculus Quest 1, and how it is to use in early 2024. #oculusquest #oculusquest2 #vr #metaquest2
Thank you very much for this video, I don't watch many videos about the Quest 1 these days, it caught my attention because it is extremely cheap and other VR headsets are quite expensive here in Brazil.
Didn't expect someone else to stil be using a quest 1 :D Though you bought it now and not at launch still find it fun. Sure, it's big, doesn't have the best resolution compare to what it is now, but it's still a capable vr headset for pcvr if you have one, plus it's very cheap when used. Though i do wish to upgrade soon to something like a pico 4 because the technology has improved so much since then
@@synonymdonut I'm the kind of person who can use and old piece of tech as long as it works as intended and provides a satisfactory experience (i'm poor)
@@AlleFTWxD depends on what you're using it for, Quest 3 is better in just about every way. But if you dont really care about standalone crap and dont mind the lower resolution go for it. As far as HMD's go the quest units are still the bargain bin side of the market. If you pick up any top end unit like a Pimax 8K or bigscreen, you're looking at at least a grand just for the headset (not including trackers or controllers)
As an owner of the Quest 1 AND Quest 3 in 2024, the Quest 1 is NOT worth it. Its standalone is unusable by todays standards and its a waste of money if you're going to get it for PCVR. If you want to JUST dip your toes into VR, I would recommend the Quest 2 now that it's at $200 USD, or the Quest 3 lite coming out for an estimated $300 USD. IF you want the best experience you can have in VR RIGHT NOW, the Quest 3 is $400-$500(depending on bundle) or you can opt for a used Valve index for headsets under $1000.
@@LATABUR Its estimated late 2024 but if not, early 2025. I believe that they're actually gonna have an official announcement regarding the Quest 3s/lite in one of Meta's next presentations coming up soon in fact. Most of that info is just speculation right now however, so take it with a grain of salt.
I got a Quest 1 simply because I had a broken Rift S with good controllers and I wanted a headset for my friend to use on PC when he comes over, since I already have a quest 2. The thing I dislike the most about the Quest 1 is the comfort. The stock facial interface is very uncomfortable and the stock headband hurts the back of my head. I 3D printed a replacement facial interface base and I plan to stick a velcro Vive cover onto it kinda like the one on yours. For the headband, theres a rear pad I got that you can still order today, its a triangle shaped cushion that you velcro onto the stock strap. You can also get a halo style replacement strap for the quest 1 today but I havent tried it. One cool tip is that the controllers use the same internal joysticks as the Quest 2 so if you have stick drift you can replace it with a new one.
Thats cool, I hope you enjoy your Quest 3 when you get it, I'm super happy that I was able to get a Quest 2 this year, the first time I turned it on I had a huge smile on my face because it was so cool.
I would confirm very SLOW loading times. Android-based OS would load in 3-6 minutes, depending on your luck and status of hand tracking/direct touch (seriously, Quest boots up a bit faster if both of these features are OFF). Virtual Desktop boots up to 30 seconds, Beat Saber/Synth Riders - 1-2 minutes. Booting up PSMoveServiceEX while Quest 1 loads up kind of compensates long boottime, but it won't work when you don't need FBT. However, the huge advantage of OG Quest is ability to run any Oculus GO/Gear VR game, including (but not limited to) Smash Hit VR. Actual Oculus GO costs like Quest 1 on used market, and Gear VR requires old Galaxy S phone to operate. A nice bonus to have.
On the first oculus you can also run some games that are not supported there, the main thing is that the game version is up to 50v (I am writing from a translator)
I got the Quest 1 in 2019 and barely used it then just because it was so uncomfortable. It’s really front heavy, drags your face down, hurts your nose like crazy and and just feels uncomfortable overall on your face. I don’t know how to explain it but it just felt like a chore using it, especially the lack of games and support, just get a Quest 2 or 3.
I Was thinking of buying a quest one for a dedicated PCVR headset, i was originally going to purchase a valve index however it is so expensive, right now after market quest 1s are $99 to $50 usd and i feal like thats extream value for the price :)
i got the quest 1 and it isn't as bad as day say, it can do everything the quest 2 can but a bit slower an worse graphics but you don't really think off it that much...... i can recommend this
@@henrikarvag6182for pcvr, go get it, for standalone, maybe, a lot of games just does not work on quest 1 anymore, maybe with some workarounds but not every game will have any
The index HMD is really dated at this point, valve really needs to drop the price on the standalone HMD. However when it comes to the entire kit half of what you are paying for are the HTC base stations and controllers. Which at the moment are the best on the market. The main problem you're gonna find with the quest units is they have pretty crap bandwidth. The Quest 3 XR2 controller caps out wifi6e to 1.2 and USBC to 2.4. Which isn't a huge deal unless you're cranking that super sampling and refresh all the way up.
Can't connect to a pc? I'm in Russia, which means i'm sanctioned and yet i can still use quest link with a cable and virtual desktop (that i got in 2020) I'm still using my quest 1 Do you have any specific issue? i wanna help
@@wingsoficarus1139 Might be a need for maintenance cleaning, but air link (if you're using it) can be unreliable when compared to other option, for me it just straight up refuses to work using it, but everything else works
