Virtual reality gaming is a hit, and the Oculus Quest 2 is an excellent VR headset to get any teen started. Unlike many VR headsets, the Oculus Quest 2 doesn't require a PC or console to use. You can start playing games by simply installing a smartphone app. One major drawback that's worth noting is the Quest's IPD settings. IPD is the interpupillary distance measurement. Much like a pair of glasses, the Oculus has to be adjusted to your personal IPD. Still, because of its limited range of IPD settings, some users may have a mildly blurry VR experience.
