One of the main reasons I preordered the Quest 2 was for educational value (experiences like Anne Frank House, National Geographic, Traveling While Black, Home After War, etc.). However, as I begin to look for other educational experiences, it appears that while there have been some produced that there has in general been a lull in new educational games and no major announcements of upcoming ones. There even appears to be more educational experiences for the Oculus Go platform than for the Quest. I’m thinking of cancelling my Quest 2 as it appears educational experiences is not a major development priority (whereas FPS, horror, etc. seem to be more of the focus).

I guess my question for you (to which I can’t find an answer anywhere else) is if there is any push to develop more educational experiences for the Quest platform? Will there be any effort to port educational experiences over to the Quest from the Rift (e.g. 1943 Berlin Blitz, War Remains) or the GO? Should I keep my Quest 2 if my main intent is to enjoy the educational content?

I’d appreciate any guidance, feedback, etc.

Have an awesome day!

I really want to get into VR, but I feel like I'm being excluded since I have a high IPD. So both the Quest 2 and Rift S don't accommodate people with high IPD's and that saddens me really because I would happily pay $100 or even $200 more if that means higher IPD settings and more Field of View. I just don't understand why you can't have multiple versions of headsets like for example IPD- & IPD+ versions of them. Like I said, I would happily pay a little extra for those features and I hope to see them implemented in the near future.

Currently using a Google Pixel 5, which is kind of the gold standard of what Google thinks an Android phone should be, and there's A HUGE issue with app compatibility. I am assuming that if it shows it on this device it's likely an issue on more. The notification/status bar at the top of the screen somehow covers all the buttons at the top of the screen, making it near impossible to touch any of the phone at the top. All it does is start to open the notification pane. Sometimes I can get around it by going to settings and making everything Jumbo sized but it doesn't correct it in every place and I shouldn't have to do that for basic functionality. I've attached a photo for reference.

When I move from one location to another, Guardian notices that I've left the area an asks me to return, and also presents a dialog presumably giving me the option to set a new guardian area if the move was intentional, BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK.
Having moved from a stationary guardian in one location to another location, selecting the stationary setting in a new location (again, intending to re-set the guardian), the dialog just get stuck in a loop back telling me to move back to the original location.
I MOVED OUT OF THE GUARDIAN AREA. I KNOW I MOVED BECAUSE I'M THE HUMAN WHO INTENTIONALLY DID SO, BUT I'M STUCK IN A LOOP OF THE SOFTWARE TELLING ME TO GO BACK AND NOT ALLOWING THE GUARDIAN TO BE RESET.
Again - YET ANOTHER Oculus bug to be fixed.

Currently the Quest 2 allows connecting to a PC via USB to transfer pictures, video, etc. This requires an approval which is FINE the FIRST TIME, but having to put on the headset to approve EVERY SINGLE TIME is overkill.
There are currently the following options:
1) Deny (self-explanatory)
2) Stop Asking (stops asking every time but DOES NOT ALLOW THE CONNECTION
3) Allow (self-explanatory)
I believe the Quest 1 had a checkbox to REMEMBER that you allowed the connection after you've done it the first time, but this does not appear anymore.
AGAIN -- YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE QUEST HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE SECOND GENERATION.
FIX THIS BUG

Consider this a BUG:
On the Quest, the home app list allows for filtering and sorting (e.g. "Installed Apps" sorted "A-Z"), AND REMEMBERS THE SETTINGS YOU CHOSE.
Quest 2 has the same filters and sorting BUT DOES NOT REMEMBER YOUR CHOICE.
This is a hugely annoying difference amongst many other steps BACKWARDS from the previous generation.
The default for Quest 2 is "All Items" sorted by "Recent" use.
I don't want All Items shown by default I only want WHAT IS INSTALLED. It is fine (and right) to allow for filtering to all available, but I shouldn't have to dig through the list (OR KEEP CHANGING THE BLOODY FILTER EVERY !@%!#$% TIME).
My suggestion: FIX THIS BUG SO IT WORKS LIKE QUEST.

For all Apps, make the defaults the most stringent protection for users.

Example: Echo VR should have voice and chat disabled by default.

Allow the Users to enable Voice or chat for Party, Friends or ALL.

This way, kids aren't going in there for the first time to a barrage of the "F", "C" and "N" words, and any other words or phrases we try to teach them are hateful in real life.

It's not only the kids, but also adults spewing the hate. At least with the max protection to start, it would take an effort to hear these things.
