Hurto11 Damn it’s really not any better than Q2 in terms of quality?
Where you hear that? just the pancake lens alone should be way better then the q2, I been hearing it a great update from the q2
Also heard 8k videos look really good
hottea and it still looks the same as quest 2
But way less glares and no lens rings?
hottea Do you happen to have access to the 10 K/12 K videos of VRB? Curious whether Q3 can play them.
Vrsumo2017 yes it works
Vrsumo2017 yes lens rings are gone but very Lil glare is still there. You won't notice it unless something really comes up the screen.
SchnuppiLilac It doesn't have hardware accelerated 10k or 12k decoding for any codec, especially not AVC, so like the Quest 2 those videos won't play smoothly.
SchnuppiLilac I don't think that will work. I think quest 3 can do 8k 60 max but if they can shoot in 12k or above and scale it to 8k then I guess it will look better then those normal 8k, Just my assumption.
hottea Thanks for that. Pasthrough does sound like it's really good but if the esolution is not much different from the 2 for watching video I think I'll stick with the Quest 2 for a bit longer as I've only been using it for 10 months and I recently bought a case and an Elite battery strap for it.

I've got it and it's wicked - everything looks sharper and more snappier than Q2. PT is brilliant. I have just had Nia Bleu standing in my room showing me her beautiful big ass.
I played a few seconds of the Kayley Gunner recent scene and to my eyes it looks sharper.
Will try Youtube and Netflix after work but I wanted to get my priorities straight lol
I also have the recent Leana Lovings scene from VRB and so will check that with my quest 2 for comparison later too. Will keep you all updated.
Yorky the weight distribution is better. I found the quest 2 a bit taxing weight wise and with an elite strap especially when I wanted to chill watching Netflix or browse YouTube. The Q3 feels much better and Im pretty sure I won't be needing the elite strap as it feels nice overall.
If you are just watching VR porn on it though and not that bothered about PT then, you've made the right decision.
PT is great, not perfect but like 20X better than the Q2
Boys I think I’m going to have to pull the trigger to see Lily Lou in my room

Ah G! That was sum of best face to face laying cg in alpha so far. I have pico but I'm betting it will be even better in q3!
Vrsumo2017 I’m hyped to experience it tonight
Big thing I have noticed is the increased FOV. You can just see a lot more of your surroundings and look around a lot easier.
Just need to get accessories now as it’s still uncomfortable to wear for any length of time with the standard strap and facial interface.
Really want my BoboVR halo strap back with the battery. They’re releasing a retrofit kit to convert it for use with Quest 3 but not available yet.
The facial interface may be a bit trickier for third parties to do as the standard one now has a built in slider to move you closer or further away from the lenses for people wearing glasses. Previously the thing for glasses was just a separate little plastic insert so third parties didn’t need to concern themselves with it.
Finally I want my new prescription lens adapters so I can ditch my glasses.
One thing I was slightly concerned about was whether it would carry apps over but it has done. Heresphere, Deo, Skybox and Playa all automatically uploaded on the new headset.
Man I’m a little bummed. Just tried it out, and I guess I was expecting a much more noticeable upgrade. It’s better but not really by all that much. Def way smaller. Less bulky and more comfortable to wear, but still feels cheaply made. I guess that’s how they keep the price point down.
Pass through color is a game changer but it’s still super grainy, you have to basically be outside for it to look clear. And I thought the scaling would be better with the depth sensors but it during PT chicks are either too small or too big and the camera angle is hard to line up exactly with where you’re sitting/laying.
I don’t notice much difference with pancake lens either. You don’t have to constantly search for a sweet spot anymore which is nice, and you can Definitley crank the sharpness and other settings and it’ll run smoother than when you tried that with Q2.
Delivery of mine has now been delayed until tomorrow...
