Oculus Quest

The world of virtual reality gaming certainly hasn’t taken off in the way that many hoped or predicted but the tide might slowly be starting to turn with some new tech on the horizon – most notably the Oculus Quest, which was recently announced and which might just be the VR boon we’ve all been waiting for.
