Whatever the case, both my wife (who found the Quest 2 hard to use) and I found that the Quest 3 was much easier to use (lighter and fits better and easier to put on/remove) and the best movie watching experience we’ve had in AR/VR so far …
I also found that the Quest 3 works beautifully with glasses. Compare that to AVP which won’t work with glasses at all.
My word @jordibruin is a wizard. I just tried out their new SplitScreen app (which adds an extra monitor to Mac Virtual Display on visionOS) and it worked wonderfully for me.
So now I can have my preferred multi-mac setup of a main monitor in front of me and a second, "utility" display on the left and side with docs or notes.
@_Davidsmith@divdev@jordibruin I'm envious. I still haven't been able to get anything like this working for my Mac using the #Quest3. Though I can make a single monitor huge and rearrange the windows and shrink fonts, I suppose .
I’m honestly baffled as to what audience Zuck is targeting with his post on #VisionPro vs #Meta#Quest3. Surely the people buying $500 headsets aren’t the same as those buying $3500 ones.
Maybe it’s targeted toward recent Quest customers, to assure them that they didn’t make a mistake buying that product. But again, you’d have to buy seven Quest 3s to get one Vision Pro, so, I’m not sure that adds up.
Maybe Zuck is just telegraphing that he’s aware that Vision Pro beats them in several characteristics, and that he’s still committed to the Quest line.
The conclusion Zuckerberg draws in his Quest vs Vision Pro comparison isn't as important as the fact that he's stepping up to this conversation directly. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3yi
I've spent a little time in both of these devices. I don't intend to buy either of them so I have no skin in the game. It could be argued whether Quest 3 is a better value because of the huge cost differential. But the better product? Umm no...it's not even close in terms of experience. #AppleVision#Quest3#VR Zuckerberg says Quest 3 is “the better product” vs. Apple’s Vision Pro
Unfortunately, they aren't the cause. Every evening I get random disconnects on my 5GHz channel. It was making remote play on my #Quest3 unusable. Fortunately I remembered that both the router and the headset can use the new 6GHz channel in Wi-Fi 6, which immediately solved the disconnects.
Credit card cashback is burning a hole in my pocket and Apple Vision Pro hype has me THIS close to buying a Quest 3.
Any reason not to? I've done VR before, with an OG Vive I eventually upgraded to wireless and fancy Valve Index controllers, but things have come a long way since then...
The thing I keep coming back to as a huge pain in the ass with the #Quest3: entering passwords. Text input in VR apps / experiences is already all over the place, with virtually no standardization. If you've moved to using a password manager, with randomly generated, unique, complex passwords, anything that requires you sign in to an account becomes an actual barrier.
Xbox game pass cloud game streaming (just starting up on left) in pass thru so tv on right. Streaming to phone to take the image but hand tracking also kicked in as I tried to look a the phone and In VR at same time #quest3 small screen setting same as out TV XL is huge :)
I'm no fan of Meta/Facebook, but it is a little irritating listening to some of the Quest 3 reviews out there. That injection of a line like "Well, we KNOW the Quest 3 won't be as powerful or as sophisticated as the Apple Vision Pro!"
Sure. I guess. Vision Pro isn't out yet, but I get that tech journalists make more money hyping up Apple.
I just wish there was more categorizing on that point. Where a headset that isn't out yet, and will likely only sell around 100,000 units over 2024, and costs SEVEN TIMES MORE than the Quest 3.
Well, we would expect that headset to be a bit fancier right?
Maybe chilling the VR market to wait for Apple to catch up, is NOT the most responsible advice we could be giving consumers interested in VR?
I picked up a Quest 3 and definitely enjoying using PianoVision along with my digital piano. Connected to PC there is just the slightest amount of lag which is a bummer, but plugging the piano directly into the headset isn't great UX.
