The Oculus Quest is a self-contained piece of hardware -- no PC or phone required -- much like theĀ Oculus Go, the $199 mobile headset that debuted earlier this year. But, unlike the Go, the Quest looks to bridge the gap between mobile and PC VR, and bring a higher-end experience with more advanced controllers. Zuckerberg also promised that many PC-based VR games and apps will be ported to the Quest, possibly making the headset feel closer in spirit to the PC-based Oculus Rift. The $399 price includes 64GB of onboard storage.

The headset resolution is the same as Oculus Go: 1,600x1,440 pixels per eye. (The Go's resolution already looks fantastic for videos and web browsing, often surpassing the Rift.) It also has the same spatial audio as the Go, which pipes audio in through small holes in the headband. How graphically powerful the Oculus Quest will be remains to be seen. Will it be more like PC, more like mobile or something truly in-between?
