Facebook has started today enforcing the “Facebook login” rule , asking Oculus users to merge their Facebook and Oculus accounts. So I imagine a Quest 2 where you can avoid having a Facebook account, but you can’t use the Oculus Store, or all the most important apps and games , and so you are de facto forced to use it.

The cost is €399 + VAT , which is not cheap, but we have to remember that is an enterprise device, so its cost is higher than consumer devices like the Oculus Go. The headset is a refresh of the previous G2 4K with improved horsepower thanks to the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset. This is going to be big!

I think that Gartner was not referring to the consumer market, where VR is still unripe (even if devices like the Oculus Quest and the Vive Focus Plus are helping it in becoming more widespread), but at the B2B one, where VR is already helping companies to spare money (e.g. thanks to a better training).
