[deleted] remember that war in Ukraine? When Putin shuts down that pipeline to Germany the Europeans will need energy from somewhere

Well, I honestly didn't think that America would blow up the damn Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which is what it's looking like now @Vrsumo2017

Cray-Cray-Crazy at a new level.

Check out the leaked Quest 3 AutoCAD files posted elsewhere on the forum. Probably gonna cost a lot, tho.

    Don't get all the love for the Pico 4. It won't be available in the Us for launch, and it will likely sell in China before getting here. I have my doubts we'll ever see it sold in the US.

      mookiemeatball My opinion: Pico 4 will be released in North America as soon as the European market is stable. Bytedance already announced that some of the preorders will not be available to ship immediately on Oct. 18, and orders will be filled in the order they were received. That seems to indicate demand is higher than anticipated. Once all the backorders are filled and there is an adequate supply to keep the current European market orders filled, they should be able to get a good estimate of what the North American demand would be and have a good revenue stream to apply toward stockpiling enough headsets for the North America launch. Meanwhile, North Americans can order copies from European sellers if they are so eager to acquire early. If Europe and North America had launched at the same time, either the production shortfall would be far worse than it is, alienating more customers who had preordered, or else they would have had to ramp up production to a much greater degree or delay the launch.

      What they are doing makes sense to me. And if they do effective marketing within TikTok they could bring a whole new customer base to VR. So I predict Pico 4 will be released in the US within six months.

        Who buys stuff on launch day, anyway? Wait a week and buy through retail, because unless demand is really high stores will get these.

        I understand that you may not "love" Pico. So, buy a Quest 2 if you haven't done so already or consider getting Quest Pro, if you can afford it (Pico 4 has better screens)

          Would you say the bigger FOV is a huge improvement compared to the Q2? And a reason to switch ...? I'm really thinking about ... plus the color passthrough is a funny thing I guess 🙂

          mnmlikereal The fan noise is present like others have said before, but does not take away from the immersion too much.

          Ah man, but is it noticeably loud?

          I heard you can feel a small breeze when it blows, true?

              Check that out 👍

              Last but not least, Deo VR where you can enjoy the best moments of your favorite videos!

              enjoy the best moments of your favorite videos! Oh hell yeah! The best moments 😏🥂👍

              Meta ever promote deovr?

                mnmlikereal Although I do notice that there is more overall glare with the pancake lenses compared to the fresnel of the Quest 2. For example, when DeoVR loads the icon gives off a lot of blue haze around the logo. Not an issue once the video is playing though

                Just got mine today, that what i notice too, I can see glare at the menu, that earth at the menu gives off sum glare, if you look at it you notice it, there's still a sweet spot but the picture looks clear in games and vrp, the glare thing tho reminds of gearvr, that's how gear vr was it had glare but in vr movies it was fine, and you didn't notice screen door unless you looked for it, but gearvr had no sweetspot or lens rings. So far I like it, gotta get use to the battery in back of my head tho, every time I wanna move my head up while laying it'll kinda move the Pico and give me blurriness, the pass through looks good better then black and Grey on quest 2, kinda disappointed having like a red light on makes it look fuzzy looking like quest 2 pass through but red instead of Grey. Dim regular light works OK, but brighter works better. So far seems to work good no issues.

                Hey G, is it me or does the Pico 4 feel heavier then a quest 2 if you hold them in each hand, wearing it feels lighter then quest on the head but holding at the same time Pico 4 feels heavier, idk 🤷‍♂️

                So far it's good, gotta keep messing with it. 👍

                Got deo to work real quick, but i think I notice something, if I turnt tracking off, deo pass through wouldnt work, I'd turn on pt mess with settings and it wouldnt work at all, so I was like wtf, so i turnt tracking back on and it worked, with quest I like to turn guardian off so I can re position the models easier, I hope the Pico able to do this, need to test it out. 🤷‍♂️

                I like the recline feature, thats another thing that reminds me of gearvr.

                Have you tried downloading skybox vr apk, I downloaded one but it say it was a daydream version, it wouldn't work. 🤷‍♂️

                  @Vrsumo2017 So i've been using an HTC Vive from years ago when it first came out, thinking of getting a Pico 4 . I use SLR app, SteamVR and Whirligig, Joyfunscript, and can use DeoVR as well. As for switching over to the Pico 4, would i be able to still use most of these or would i have to change up my routine ?

                    Vrsumo2017 I found out that the breeze becomes uncomfortable for me when I use the additional nose piece intended against light leakage. With this put on the air blows directly into my eyes.

                      The Pico 4, a virtual reality (VR) headset, is being compared to the Cambria/Pro in terms of specs, with the exception of eye and face tracking features commonly used in VR meetings and high-end gaming for improved render quality. The Pico 4 is being released at a time when many individuals are looking to upgrade from cellphone tech, the Go, or Quest 2 to a new VR headset.

                      Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Oculus, may need to consider reducing prices to stay competitive in the market. It's noted that users who are willing to provide their data to Meta to save money on a headset may also be willing to do the same for other platforms such as TikTok/ByteDance and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

                      It's important to note that the decision to share personal data with any platform should be made with careful consideration of privacy and security concerns. Users should always review and understand the privacy policies of any platform they choose to use, and make informed decisions about sharing their data accordingly.

                        Bucket619 I know you be able to use deo/slr and steam vr, not to sure about the others. It's a good headset tho, for the price👍

                          So i pulled the trigger on purchasing the Pico 4 global version with just the 128 gb. Very excited as it will at least keep me happy until the Meta 3 comes out

                          @Vrsumo2017 so over on the passthrough post, are all the numbers you post up , are they the best setting you found for passthrough?
