Quest 3 announced

Hurto11

just pre-ordered mine. Big no-brainer for me. Going to be a massive upgrade to Q2. is it perfect? of course not, but it might still be another 2-3 years until something significantly better comes out. (unless of course you get Apple's headset). So it's the BEST option at the price point without a doubt.

Hurto11 is it perfect? of course not,

Oh it'll never be perfect, if they gave us the perfect headset there wouldn't be any money in that, cuz we'd buy the perfect headset and never buy another again, unless it breaks.

Pretty sure its going be a nice upgrade tho 👍

Vrsumo2017 Also hearing there sum kinda warping in the pass through. Distortion in the near field they said, 🤦‍♂️

PT is background though

Some sites have been spreading misinformation! Spot the errors!

Hairsational

[deleted] It's a typo that should say "40% thinner"

Vrsumo2017

[deleted] man sum reviewers say its a lil heavier but more comfortable cuz it's slimmer 🤷‍♂️

And others say it's lighter. 🤦‍♂️

[deleted]

"the dual 4-megapixel RGB cameras"

I'm no scholar of languages, but this collocation of "dual" and "4-megapixels" means two cameras at 4 megapixels. Clearly from the specs they meant dual 2-megapixel cameras for 4K video.

Mistakes
40% lighter --> 40% thinner (Q3 is heavier than Q2)
10x resolution --> 30% better resolution (maybe more considering double panels and PPI)
100% boost in processing --> No way. QS XR2 G2 offers a performance boost, but not 100%
Preorder deals --> Nope, as most of us know, that deal is only for the 512 GB model, and the "free stuff" is from Meta, not BestBuy.

Manny_S damn if I knew you could record I would have bought the 512gb version. Zuckerberg messed up there by not announcing that. @Manny_S next time a Connect takes place, I would like you on stage.

Hairsational It's a typo that should say "40% thinner"

you are correct but the actual headset on its own is actually lighter than the Quest 2, it just becomes heavier when you put that detachable material, plasticky fascia bit in that rests on your forehead and cheeks - I dunno what that bit is called. I saw a guy on YouTube weighing it with and without that extra fascia bit. @Vrsumo2017 is right though, pretty much every reviewer is saying that it doesn't feel as heavy as the Quest 2 as the centre of gravity is closer to your face on the Quest 3

I am going to see if I can cancel my Q3 128 gb and buy the Q3 512gb and still get it on the 10th. EDIT - getting a temporarily out of stock message 🙁

i think i could work with it...buy them for CAM girls and let them make very simple slow/still-type clips...FEET could be a start...maybe simulated HJ...would get them started into the SPACE and hopefully find that they could make some money...investing in REAL camera

So from what I understand everything thing outwards looks good 👍, but if you bring objects or your hands up close to the camera you get sum distortion.

We should be good in pt 👍
as long as close up don't get distorted, can't be having none of that, noooo. But they talking about real life objects, so if you plan on filming your sex life in pov keep away from close ups, lol

Preparing video samples from passthrough quest 3 vs quest pro

[deleted]

Unhigenic Brad was right, the depth sensor significantly improves the image quality!

Those vivid colors are impressive! How do these new LCD panels compare to OLED for contrast ratio and nits?

Manny_S

as you can clearly see the difference is big

Vrsumo2017

Manny_S looks better then the pro, no more gray overlay?

[deleted] Besides being wrong about the power (it's actually more than double), the pass-through resolution improvement does have a roughly 10x increase. This increase has nothing to do with the 30% pixel density increase of the screens. Pass-through resolution is determined by the capabilities of the passthrough cameras and the passthrough resolution that Meta is targeting. Being a naysayer is okay, but you should know what you are talking about.

Vrsumo2017

Manny_S still some kinda warping tho, right?

When you move your hands in q3 you can see the grass kinda warps a Lil.

But picture wise it does look better

What it look like in a dim lit room?
Like, just a lamp on.

hottea

Vrsumo2017 I hope they can fix that warping with future software updates.

Very weird meta invited all these adults to review the quest 3, they all look in their late 20s early 30s.

Lol you saw no teens or kids trying it out, just kinda strange to me.

Lol dude had to be at least 35 or older up in that room, making all these weird gestures while playing the q3, lol 😆

Hurto11

Vrsumo2017 honestly I feel like that’s the main demographic that’s gonna be buying this..20, 30s, early 40s. The games that are out there don’t really lend themselves to kids imo. Obviously there are a bunch that do, but overall I just don’t see young kids having the attention span or patentixe to keep this thing strapped to their head for hours and have the restraint not to just run around and get hurt with it. Also it’s kind of a lot of money when you could just buy your kids an Xbox or somethjng for similar price and they’d get way more use out of that.

Vrsumo2017

Hurto11 keep this thing strapped to their head for hours

I've done plenty of hours 🤣

Vrsumo2017

Hurto11 I just thought of something, lol you see a guy in his late 40s early 50s buying a headset q3, two reason he's buying it, 1 maybe for his kid or grandkids or 2 for him self and no way that 50 yr buying it for the games 🤣 🤦‍♂️
