Facebook teased technology that could one day do that (about one hour and 48 minutes into the keynote), but it’s unlikely that it will happen on the Quest, which uses an already aging Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. It’s incredible what the Quest can do, but there will likely be limitations the older it gets.

The Quest launched earlier this year for $400 and in yesterday’s keynote, Facebook claimed it nearly 20-percent of the sales in the Oculus store were due to it. It’s reasonably successful, and the addition of PC tethering this year and hand tracking next year could future proof it to the point that people won’t mind its limitations.

You can’t see the real world using a passthrough mode with the Quest though. That’s a Rift S only ability. The Rift S relies on a PC too, which can be upgraded by the user. Eventually, the Quest’s processor and storage limitations (there’s only a 64GB and 128GB option) will mean it will need replacing.

Still, the Rift S won’t get hand tracking and it has a lower resolution display than the Quest. So if you’re looking to taste the future of VR this year or next, the Quest might not be a bad choice. Merely slipping a headset over your eyes and then immediately having even a small part of your body transported into a virtual world is a magical enough experience it’d be hard not to want to try it out.
