Will the Oculus Quest 2 have a physical IPD slider?

Best answer: Yes, the Oculus Quest 2 features manual IPD adjustment via sliding lenses, but it relies on three presets — a change from the original Oculus Quest.

A trifecta bet with the Oculus Quest 2

The Oculus Quest 2, thankfully, still features physical IPD (inter-pupillary distance) adjustment for its lenses. Unlike the original Oculus Quest, however, the Oculus Quest 2 relies on three presets to get the job done. Users can slide the lenses themselves between presets simply labeled 1, 2, and 3 before placing the Oculus Quest 2 on their heads.

By default, the Oculus Quest 2 sits at the 2 preset, which should cover the average person's IPD between 62-65mm. Sliding the lenses inward toward each other will move them to preset 1, which should cover folks with an IPD between 58-61mm. Subsequently, sliding the lenses away from each other to the furthest point, labeled 3, should cover users with IPD between 65-68mm.

Physically adjusting the lenses should mean users are less prone to accidentally adjusting the IPD while fitting the Oculus Quest 2 to their heads.

Alienating wider IPD on the Oculus Quest 2

Facebook is utilizing a single high-res LCD panel, which is a big step from the dual-OLED displays on the original Oculus Quest. Having a single display means the Oculus Quest 2 cannot be finely tuned to different IPD like the original Oculus Quest since a single display can't be spread apart. Facebook has developed an industry-first physical IPD adjustment for the Oculus Quest 2's single display, but the display advantages come with some negatives for users with a wider IPD.

Users with IPD over 69mm will have difficulty using the Oculus Quest 2 at all. All faces are different, so some users may have IPD higher than 70 and, for these folks, motion sickness is likely to occur while playing. That's because your eyes will have to cross in order to properly see the virtual world, eventually resulting in headaches or other adverse effects.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
