Episode 1.9 Oculus Quest 2 Update - The Middle School Mind

On this episode of The Middle School Mind kids podcast, Son and I provide an update from episode 1.4 Oculus Quest 2…a VR-yyy Special Episode.

Son is a lucky kid with very generous aunts and uncles who got him his Oculus Quest 2 headset for Christmas. He’s been enjoying his Oculus since the holidays and wanted to share with the audience his thoughts so far.

Son received an Oculus Quest 2 from his aunts and uncles last Christmas and it’s awesome

Pro Tip #1 – quit out of a game before shutting down the headset. Otherwise, you’ll need to reset the headset

Echo VR – voice chat can be turned off – space and floating mixed with frisbee. Sounds a lot like Quidditch from the Harry Potter universe!
