STUFF AWARDS 2019
GAMING GADGET OF THE YEAR
OCULUS QUEST
from £399 / oculus.com
This was the year when VR started to get
interesting – and that’s mainly down to the
Oculus Quest. Sure, there are more powerful
headsets out there, but nobody has come
close to nailing the marriage of ease-of-use
and functionality that Oculus managed with
its latest piece of hardware.
This all-in-one VR system is totally wireless
and packed with sensors that can track your
O Sky walker
The Quest offers
six degrees of
freedom (6DoF)
and inside-out
tracking so it
can follow you
precisely and
save you from
bumping into
the walls.OO Panel beta
An OLED panel
with 1440x1600
per eye isn’t just
a spec bump on
the Oculus Go;
it’s also higher
than you’ll
find on some
ultra-premium
headsets.movements in virtual space, meaning
jumping into a game of Beat Saber or
Superhot VR really is as easy as sliding
the headset over your face, grabbing the
excellent Touch Controllers and pressing
the ‘on’ button. If not for limited battery life,
there’d be little reason to return to reality.NOMINEES
