2016 年，随着Oculus Rift的发布，VR 终于兑现了它的承诺。虽然Rift（以及为它提供动力所需的计算机）仍然非常昂贵，但技术和定价都在发烧友的范围内。
到 2021 年，现在大多数中端计算机都可以毫无问题地处理 VR。VR头显本身现在也比以前便宜很多倍。长期以来，索尼 PlayStation VR(Sony PlayStation VR)是体验优质 VR 游戏最实惠的方式，但情况发生了变化。主流宠儿是Oculus Quest 2，但哪一款更适合您购买呢？

拥有成本
人们比较Oculus Quest和PSVR的主要原因之一是它们的成本相似。Oculus Quest 2和PSVR都应该让你回到 299 美元左右。还有另一种型号的Quest 2耳机价格比这贵，但唯一的区别是更大的内部存储容量，
问题是耳机价格本身并不能说明全部情况。这里要考虑的最重要的事实是Quest 2是一个完全独立的系统。一旦你花掉了 299 美元，你就拥有了开始玩游戏所需的一切，当然除了软件游戏的成本。
PSVR 需要PS4 或 PS5(PS4 or PS5)控制台才能工作。如果您已经拥有一个兼容的控制台，那么您已经花钱了，并且不必将其添加到总拥有成本中。如果您没有PS4、PS4 Pro或PS5，则除了PSVR之外，您还需要考虑该成本。这使得PSVR比Quest 2贵得多。
软件库
支持PSVR(PSVR)的最强点之一是其独家游戏库。如果您想在 VR 中体验Resident Evil 7、Wipeout、Gran Turismo Sport、Ace Combat 7或Iron Man，那么镇上只有一款耳机- PSVR。
话虽如此，Oculus Quest以拥有精心策划的优质独家游戏和体验库而闻名。这取决于个人喜好以及哪些标题最吸引您。还值得注意的是，Quest头显也可以访问完整的 PC VR 目录，前提是您有计算机来驱动它们。我们将在下面讨论它是如何工作的。
多功能性
Oculus Quest是您可以买到的最通用的 VR 耳机之一。开箱即用，它是一个完整的独立系统，您可以在任何地方使用。它可以通过SideQuest播放精选的(SideQuest)Quest游戏、选定的Oculus Go和Gear VR游戏，以及大量未经 Oculus 批准的应用和游戏。
如果您拥有一台功能强大的游戏 PC，您可以使用USB数据线将(USB)Quest连接到您的计算机，并使用称为Oculus Link的功能来玩Oculus Rift和SteamVR游戏，例如Half Life Alyx。这意味着您现在可以投资Quest 2，如果您下线购买游戏 PC，您的 VR 视野将会扩大。
另一方面， PSVR 仅限于PS4 PSVR游戏(PS4 PSVR)。虽然可以在 PC 上使用它，但它失去了完整的深度跟踪功能。换句话说，头显可以跟踪你头部的旋转，但它无法判断你的头部在 3D 空间中的位置。这极大地限制了耳机的功能。
技术
确实没有温和的说法，但PSVR系统使用了非常过时的技术。索尼通过将现有的(Sony)PlayStation硬件重新用于PSVR做出了一些非常明智的选择，这有助于降低成本。但是，这意味着与Oculus Quest(Oculus Quest)相比，它确实提供了非常老式的体验。
PSVR使用PlayStation Move控制器进行运动控制。这些设备最初是为PlayStation 3设计的，具有相对基本的运动传感器和使用PS4摄像头的摄像头跟踪。
同一个摄像头还负责耳机本身的外部跟踪。Quest等耳机的现代标准是所谓的“由内而外”跟踪。在这里，耳机上的摄像头会根据房间相对于耳机的移动方式来计算您的头部位置。这更加优雅，无需任何附件即可实现房间规模的体验。
Quest的显示分辨率、音频和触觉控制器比PSVR先进了几代，因此很难推荐任何人以当前价格选择旧系统。
人体工程学
PSVR开创了光环头带设计，此后被各种其他 VR 耳机品牌复制。遗憾的是，Oculus Quest 2并不是其中之一。虽然 Quest 2 确实提供了比Quest 1更好的舒适度，但这两款耳机的佩戴舒适度都不如PSVR。
PSVR还可以轻松(PSVR)翻转耳机以快速进入现实世界，环顾四周并与其他人聊天。Quest有一个漂亮的直通模式，可以快速让您通过车载摄像头看到，但它并不那么方便。
大多数 VR 游戏时间相对较短。Quest 2 一次只能提供大约 2.5 小时的游戏时间，但如果你想长时间玩 VR 游戏，PSVR是更好的选择。如果您想忘记在Gran Turismo Sport VR(Gran Turismo Sport VR)中跑圈的时间，这是完美的选择。
隐私和平台注意事项
虽然Quest 2似乎在几乎所有类别中都比PSVR更好，但有一个领域值得关注。(PSVR)拥有Oculus的(Oculus)FaceBook已决定所有Quest 2所有者都必须拥有FaceBook帐户。没有它，您将无法使用该设备。如果您已经是Facebook用户，您可能不会介意此要求，但对于许多潜在买家来说，这是一个严重的问题。
另一方面，使用PSVR ，您无需成为(PSVR)PlayStation Network 订阅者(PlayStation Network subscriber)。你甚至不需要有互联网连接。严格来说，您可以简单地连接PSVR，放入游戏光盘并在完全隐私的情况下玩游戏。
Oculus Quest Vs PSVR：最终判决(Final Verdict)
与PSVR(PSVR)相比，我们认为Oculus Quest 2是更好的选择也就不足为奇了。然而，这并不是PSVR的错。毕竟，它在推出时是一款了不起的产品，也是多年来最实惠的高级 VR 解决方案。
虽然PSVR实际上使用免费的相机适配器(free camera adapter)与PS5一起工作，但索尼(Sony)无疑正在开发一个现代化的继任者。虽然我们对PSVR2(PSVR2)了解不多，但我们毫不怀疑它将采用现代 VR 技术并让Oculus Quest物有所值。
如果您想立即进入 VR，我们推荐Oculus Quest 2。如果您对基于主机的 VR 感兴趣，我们建议您等待PSVR2（最早将于 2022 年推出），除非您真的想玩特定的 PSVR 独家游戏。
Oculus Quest Vs PSVR: Which Is Better?
In 2016, VR finally lived up to its promise with the release of the Oculus Rift. While the Rift (and the computer you needed to power it) were still stupendously expensive, both the technology and pricing fell within reach of enthusiasts.
Roll on to 2021 and now most mid-range computers can handle VR without issue. VR headsets themselves are now many times cheaper than before as well. For a long time, the Sony PlayStation VR was the most affordable way to experience premium VR games, but things have changed. The mainstream darling is the Oculus Quest 2, but which one is better for you to buy?

Cost of Ownership
One of the main reasons people are comparing the Oculus Quest vs PSVR is because of their similar cost. Both the Oculus Quest 2 and PSVR should set you back around $299. There is another model of Quest 2 headset that costs more than this, but the only difference is a larger internal storage capacity,
The problem is that the headset price by itself doesn’t tell the whole story. The most important fact to consider here is that the Quest 2 is a completely standalone system. Once you spend your $299, you have everything you need to start playing, apart from the cost of software titles of course.
The PSVR requires a PS4 or PS5 console to work. If you already own a compatible console, then you’ve already spent the money and it doesn’t have to be added to the total cost of ownership. If you don’t own a PS4, PS4 Pro or PS5 you need to consider that cost in addition to PSVR. That makes the PSVR far more expensive than a Quest 2.
Software Library
One of the strongest points in favor of the PSVR is its library of exclusive games. If you want to experience Resident Evil 7, Wipeout, Gran Turismo Sport, Ace Combat 7 or Iron Man in VR there’s only one headset in town – PSVR.
That being said, the Oculus Quest is well-known for having a carefully curated library of quality exclusive games and experiences. It comes down to personal preferences and which titles appeal to you most. It’s also worth noting that the Quest headsets have access to the full PC VR catalog as well, assuming you have the computer to drive them. We’ll discuss how that works below.
Versatility
The Oculus Quest is one of the most versatile VR headsets you can buy. Out of the box, it’s a complete standalone system you can use anywhere. It can play curated Quest titles, selected Oculus Go and Gear VR titles, and a wealth of non-Oculus approved apps and games through SideQuest.
If you own a powerful gaming PC, you can connect the Quest to your computer using a USB cable and use it to play Oculus Rift and SteamVR titles such as Half Life Alyx using a feature known as Oculus Link. This means you can invest in a Quest 2 today and should you get a gaming PC down the line, your VR horizons will expand.
The PSVR, on the other hand, is limited to PS4 PSVR titles. While hacks to use it with a PC are available, it loses its full depth-tracking capabilities. In other words, the headset can track the rotation of your head, but it can’t tell where your head is positioned in 3D space. This drastically limits what the headset can do.
Technology
There’s really no gentle way to put this, but the PSVR system uses very obsolete technology. Sony made some very smart choices by repurposing existing PlayStation hardware for PSVR, which helps keep the costs down. However, that means it really offers a very old-school experience compared to the Oculus Quest.
The PSVR makes use of the PlayStation Move controllers for motion control. These devices were originally designed for the PlayStation 3, with relatively basic motion sensors and camera tracking using the PS4 camera.
That same camera is also responsible for external tracking of the headset itself. The modern standard for headsets such as the Quest is so-called “inside-out” tracking. Here, cameras onboard the headset calculate your head’s position based on how the room appears to move relative to your headset. This is much more elegant and allows for room-scale experiences without any accessories.
The display resolution, audio and haptic controllers for the Quest are several generations more advanced than the PSVR, making it hard to recommend that anyone opt for the older system at current prices.
Ergonomics
The PSVR pioneered the halo-strap headband design which has since been copied by various other VR headset brands. Sadly, the Oculus Quest 2 is not one of them. While the Quest 2 does offer a better level of comfort than the Quest 1, neither headset is as comfortable to wear as the PSVR.
The PSVR also makes it easy to flip up the headset to quickly dip into the real world, look around and chat to other people. The Quest has a nifty pass-through mode that quickly lets you see through the onboard cameras, but it’s not quite as convenient.
Most VR play sessions are relatively short. The Quest 2 only offers about 2.5 hours of play at a time, but if you want to have long sessions of VR play the PSVR is the better choice. This is perfect if you want to lose track of time doing laps in Gran Turismo Sport VR.
Privacy and Platform Considerations
While the Quest 2 seems the better choice compared to the PSVR in virtually every category, there is one area of significant concern. FaceBook, which owns Oculus, has decided that a FaceBook account is mandatory for all Quest 2 owners. Without it, you can’t use the device. You may not mind this requirement if you’re already a FaceBook user, but for many potential buyers, that’s a serious issue.
With PSVR, on the other hand, you are not required to be a PlayStation Network subscriber. You’re not even required to have an internet connection. Strictly speaking, you can simply hook up the PSVR, pop in a game disc and play your games in complete privacy.
Oculus Quest Vs PSVR: The Final Verdict
It should come as no surprise that we think the Oculus Quest 2 is the better choice compared to the PSVR. However, that’s not really the PSVR’s fault. After all, it was an amazing product at the time of its launch and the most affordable premium VR solution for years.
While the PSVR actually works with the PS5 using a free camera adapter, Sony is undoubtedly working on a modernized successor. While we don’t know much about the PSVR2, we have no doubt that it will feature modern VR technology and give the Oculus Quest a run for its money.
If you want to get into VR right now, we recommend the Oculus Quest 2. If you have your heart set on console-based VR, we recommend waiting for the PSVR2 (slated for 2022 at the earliest) unless you really want to play a specific PSVR-exclusive title.
