Oculus Quest 2 delivers standalone VR with sharper 90Hz screens for $299
[ad_1] Facebook says the Quest 2 is around 10 percent lighter than before, and it’s also a tad smaller, which should alleviate the front-heavy annoyance from the first model.

BoxVR workouts during a pandemic
[ad_1] BoxVR workouts land somewhere between those test-your-strength arcade punch cabinets, a boxercise class and, maybe, an arcade shooter.
