This can destroy your Oculus Quest 2! 😱
During a recent Q&A on Instagram, Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, VP at Facebook Reality Labs, which makes the headset, gave the thumbs up when asked if the Oculus Quest 2 would get an upgrade to a 120hz refresh rate. The update would be a significant improvement over the current 90Hz refresh rate offered by the headset, observers say.
"A high refresh rate means not only a smoother experience, but a more immersive one, and the jump to 120hz is big enough to have a real impact," said Kaelum Ross, a former VR professional at Fujitsu, in an email interview. "For motion sickness VR users, this is also really exciting news, as a higher refresh rate can dramatically reduce motion sickness."
Ross said he's experienced firsthand the dramatic difference a higher refresh rate can make. "I've seen this demonstrated in real time where people could use a 144hz Valve Index without getting sick in a demo, but couldn't use a 90hz Vive Pro," he added.
