How can we improve the Oculus Quest platform?

Enable dynamic contrast adjustment on Quest 2 to enable better blacks in dark scenes.

I've been having a great time on my Quest 2, but have been avoiding darker games due to the grey fog and washed out scenes.

Could you implement an automatic backlight adjustment that would kick in for any dark scene to keep the black levels in check? Since the LCD panel characteristics are known, you could also do automatic color and contrast grading to keep the colors accurate as the backlight is dimed. Many TVs already do exactly this kind of dynamic backlight and contrast adjustment. Could also open an API for developers to adjust the backlight so that they could set bright scenes to have full backlight and dark scenes to have low backlight.

    After using Oculus Quest 1 and other headsets with OLED panel, the lack of contrast in dark scenes is very noticeable in the Quest 2, blacks practically do not exist and details are lost in dark scenes. Something should be done.

    Agreed. Something needs to be done with these black levels.
    Some games are very dark and all I can see is grey. It breaks immersion.
