Facebook temporarily stops with sales Oculus Quest 2 due to 'skin irritation'

Oculus is temporarily suspending sales of the Oculus Quest 2 headset due to several reports of "skin irritation." A few users report that the default facial interface of the Quest 2 headset triggers an unpleasant allergic reaction (this is different from the pressure sores you can with experience on a Headset).

Due to these reports, Oculus has decided to put all sales of the Quest 2 headsets on hold. This means that for several weeks it will no longer be possible to buy an Oculus Quest 2 headset. The current expectation is that Oculus will release a new variant of the Quest 2 from the end of August 2021 with (128GB) and will immediately use a new type of facial interface. From then on we expect the Oculus Quest 2 to be fully available again.

This notification also highlights the importance of hygienic solutions for VR headsets. Fortunately, there are now a lot of products on the market that can make using the Headset more pleasant. For example, use a silicone mask, a new PU face interface or our Universal VR masks to improve the comfort and hygiene of your VR experience.
