The increase in FOV will decide whether I buy into the Quest3 or not. My Reverb2 FOV has never been close to the immersion I had with OG Vive FOV. I think it has something to due with the shape of my face too, never found a good replacement gasket fit.

Obviously if the color passthru works well that will be a selling point as well. I am a big advocate of VR instead of AR porn, but still will be fun to try AR. FYI, note that the color AR passthru is reported to have lower rez than the VR rez.

Un-tethered is a bonus.

Looking forward to some reviews by users here on the Forums.

    What I liked was that they showed the quest 3 and also spent time on the Rayban smart glasses at Connect. One day, the headset will just be the glasses and you will be able to do everything in the Raybans. Maybe within 20 years we might be at this stage if not sooner.

    doublevr get ready for even more passthrough 🔥

    I hope we start seeing more passthrough too 🙂 Really looking forward to revisiting the back catalogue in Oct on SLR. Thanks for building this for us fans @doublevr

      I thought it was the same size as q2 but reviewers are saying it's wider. Wider then qpro

        I really don't see any downside to getting the Q3...it's better than the Q2 without a doubt and apparently better than Quest Pro too. It's the best headset ever made thus far, unless you're willing to wait and drop 4k on the Apple Vision Pro. That one will be insanely good but for most majority of people are not paying that much for an experimental tech imo. So this is a no brainer..l.the best headset you could currently get on the market for under 1k. I've never seen the Pico or other headsets mentioned in here, but I doubt they are currently better than Q3 as well.

        Meta has spent a shitload of money the last year or so on metaverse tech and VR, so I'm really expecting this to be a significant upgrade to everything. I think Apple will become the VR company for companies, sponsors and professional realm and Meta will cater to the average consumer, they've invested a TON to work on this and lost stock value for a while because of it. It will be EXTREMELY dissapointing if Q3 doesn't deliver.

        Hairsational It can only scan what it can see. If you walk around your house with the headset on then it can (and knowning Meta, probably does) scan the house.

        If they're getting the full UHD 360° scan of my schlong, I'm not too worried about them seeing my shitty taste in home decor 😅

            It's expensive for many consumers... We're deep in a recession... Unemployment is high in most countries, and many people need multiple jobs to survive.

            That said, I'll be getting one. I don't think it's worth waiting a year for the Quest 4/Quest 3s model that Meta plans to release in October 2024.

            Current leaks suggest a cheaper Quest 3s in October 2024, featuring two OLED screens at Quest 2 resolution and no passthrough or controllers. Some folks who want to economize could wait a year or wait until April 2024 for Pico 5. Leaks suggest Pico 5 will have a resolution of 2,500 x 2,500 per eye.

              SchnuppiLilac Quest 2 already does that. The first time I left the automatic hand-tracking stuff enabled, I saw my virtual hands come into existence only to jerk for a couple of seconds before sliding inside the Handy (with a virtual hand "floating", I was holding the device IRL) 🤣

                Lol Zuckerberg said it turns out people really love fitness in vr, yeah mark we really love fitness in your helmet 😉

                You know vr porn consumption "activity" probably out ways everything in their data, lol it's # 1 🤣

                Lol watch how much they see their pass through gets used on the quest 3 but it won't be used with the zombies or punching octopus 🐙 lol 😆

                Our color pass through is hit! Yay! 🎉🥂

                Lol 😆

                PRE ordered it...bestbuy for 700bucks even.

                Could av1 code and wifi6e make quest3 a dp connection headset?

                as there were tons youtube clips already making the case to upgrade from q2...there will be the same ones in the future for any reasons to up grade from the q3 to the pico 5

                i'll be making that CALC on the apple when it comes out

                    spanker up grade

                    Honestly I think this will be the last vr I buy, unless the shit breaks or something, I'll use the warranty to replace it but upgrading to a newer q4 or Pico 5? Nah, think I'll be good with the q3 👍

                    I had Hella fun with my gear vr for bout 5 years, only reason I upgraded to a q2 was cause they updated my s10+ and it no longer worked on the gear vr, only reason I bought Pico 4 was just for color pt, I'll be buying q3 just for the better pt. I'm pretty sure q3 pt will be way better then Pico 4 pt. 🤞

                    Tobad we can't turn in the helmets like phones and just upgrade with a new plan or something. That's how they should do it.

                        i enjoy watching netflix/prime shows on it...so whatever also makes that better...measurably of course

                        kinda why i didn't touch the kid's q2 that was a foot away from me
