doorsareopen I haven’t tried it but it’s a slimmer unit so I guess not. BoboVR are going to be selling a kit to adapt their M2 headset to fit the Quest 3 which is pretty cool of them to do to save existing customers from having to shell out for the new M3Pro. Not seen prices yet though so don’t know how much of a saving it is.

petermc yeah, and it's such a bad first impression for the user when they cheap out like this. Initial impressions of the device are pretty poor honestly, after I was so damned hyped for it. Even color passthrough - it's not like the girl looks better, I can just see all my mess in higher quality LOL

    vrpicasso I’m not really a passthrough enthusiast so it was not really a selling point for me. I did have a little go with the colour passthrough but it’s very fiddly to line your junk up and the girl was too bright and too big for my room. I don’t think this will change anything for me passthrough wise but I will give it another go when I have all my accessories on the headset to make it comfortable to use.

      Offtopic - I have both Quest 2 and Quest 3. I can use in DeoVR 120 Hz on Quest and only 90 Hz on Quest 3? Any solution?

        Yeah it’s think its something SLR/Deo has to fix. There is probbaly an m DEO update for Q3 coming and that needs to be addressed.

          Hurto11 pj4ever Hey guys, I passed this info to the team to confirm. There are a lot of changes coming to the DeoVR app version 13.13 so I'll let you know if this is scheduled for that release too!

          Hey bacula8630, good news! I just received a confirmation from the developer team that they are currently working on a fix and it will be implemented in the future release of the DeoVR app. In the meantime, I kindly ask for your patience until it's released.

            fenderwq Thanks for your test.l heard that when quest is connected to a pc,the image quality will be compressed? Not sure about it. And what's your graphic card? Wireless or wired?

              Got mine earlier today and binged. Ive owned the Q2, Q Pro, Reverb G2 and Pimax Crystal (pimax I returned).

              Q3 is a very nice and noticeable bump up in image quality over Q2. I ran through DeoVR and also stored a couple of the giant file size SLR Originals (my favorite) directly on the device. Doing so told me our clarity issue is partially a content and not a raw resolution problem because the videos that the new 8k SLR camers produce have no equal, especially on close cowgirl riding etc.

              But my point is, the pores on the girls face, the dripping cum (like in the Freya Von Doom video) etc. look better on Q3 than on any headset Ive seen aside from the Pimax Crystal (and honestly with the Crystal there is very little difference with the Q3 visually for porn).

              While we are still not in earth shattering, holy grail levels yet (that will come with 4k per eye micro OLED displays paired with 10k + high bitrate videos), the Q3 experience of having a giant sweetspot, along with the bump in resolution produced a noticeable stepup on the higjest quality SLR videos and to a lesser extent things like WanksVR and CzechVR (which are also nice but dont contain as much granular detail as the 8k SLR setup). As should be expected it does almost nothing for lesser 5k and 6k content, aside from the aforementioned sweetspot enlargement.

              If you can't tell, while Im satisfied with the Q3 and think its worth an upgrade for porn, what we really need is more studios with a setup like the one SLR is using. I'm not being a fanboy for the sake of it, just telling you what my eyes see.

              Also, I'll take my opportunity here to plug continued (and more often) close filming. When SLR does closeup cowgirl, mish, etc. you can actually zoom the camera out a bit, thus exposing a higher pixel density and better image. Their cowgirl closeup where the girl almost touching the camera with her face and boobs allows you to get a huge portion of the 32 million pixels on screen for her BODY. This does look amazing, and it highlights the mediocrity of the far away shots even more. When you have a girl giving a blow job or doggy from 6 miles away the area of focus on her body is taking up very few pixels comparatively and you thus lose out on granular detail. So SLR, film close often would be my recommendation.

              What does this have to do with Q3? Again, im trying to convey a way to play to its strengths and take full advantage of the device.

                You can use the horizontal off sett
                Move it to the right to make the image bigger
                To the left to make images smaller
                But don't use the sliders use the + -
                You click once and look at the image, still to big or small? you click on + or - again.

                Hold both triggers to move the image

                sheldoncooper I'm streaming, with Pico 4 i had a lot of issues with streaming but not with the quest 3 (I live in a big city and my pc isn't in the same room). On quest 3 it works flawlessly so far. No compression artifacts I'm able to spot either.
                As for the settings: I'm using godlike and av1 at 200mbs with upscaling and all the other virtual desktop options enabled. I'm also using 150% super sampling on steam but that's just enabled by default (not sure if it really helps much in this scenario). My card is rtx4090.

                  Ventriloquist_Tacos Ive always wondered what the crystal is like for Porn. So you are saying it is not any better than the Q3 for porn.
                  And I totally agree that these other studios need to upgrade to atleast the rig of the 8k SLR quality. And +1 for the closeups.

                    sheldoncooper Tbh, I have no idea. Wasn't initially planning on buying a 4090 but Nvidia tricked me into buying it with their bad value for their other cards. Actually pretty glad I did eventually since it's awesome for flat to VR gaming. My guess would be that it is okay though (don't quote me on that though) since all rtx4000 cards share the same video decoder / encoders.

                    Ventriloquist_Tacos When you have a girl giving a blow job or doggy from 6 miles away the area of focus on her body is taking up very few pixels comparatively and you thus lose out on granular detail. So SLR, film close often would be my recommendation.

                    Amen !

                    first few hrs with it...not that excited. definitely a crisper image. Unfortunately image seems washed out...but that is using it out of box and not dialing in some settings...if there are settings (hopefully). my Q1 does not have washed out image, but also NOT read the homepage for the description of clips without moving mask around my head and hoping to get lucky

                    hoping controllers get DIALED in pretty quick.

                    pairing with phone was a nightmare...but after writing them a frustrating message...i for some reason clicked on old device and saw three tiny white dots...that kinda led me to quest 3 and it was easy after that

                    maybe glad i didn't pair it quickly...i ended up going all around the META menus and saw MY gallery of a 1000 pics taken...that's not good as my wife has my phone all the time....fucking meta. why why why

                    sure it will get better 🙂 but need to find out way to shut those pics down from getting to my phone from my headset

                    10min after posting this...figured out how to exit everything...."quick tap" on button to bring up EXIT of all apps.

                      spanker pairing with phone

                      I never paired my q2 before, what all can you do when it's paired to the phone?

                      Finally got mine today... I actually should have had it yesterday but UPS fucked up but what can you do.

                      Anyway my general first impression is positive. It's a step up in clarity of the image for sure but it's most noticeable in menus, games, etc. VR porn feels a bit more crisp but the effect is small. However the improved FOV was immediately apparent to me in VR porn and while the scuba diving feeling is not entirely gone it's really evident for me that the FOV is larger. I like that.

                      Pass-trough which I guess is one of the reasons most people upgrade. Well it's a powerful experience for sure. I dig it and the fact that your room appears in color are light years better than Quest 2's grey scale. It is more grainy though than I expected. Furthermore I think the fact that it's in colors now then it somehow makes the current issues of AR porn stand out more. For example an issue I encountered is that most videos feels like that unless I bend my neck 90 degrees while laying in bed instead of laying comfortable with my head resting on my pillow, well then the floating cock appears in my lower abdomen, instead of where my dick actually is. So I have to zoom out - always. Next issue is that when I finally get the model aligned then just a bit of a tilt of my head an the model shifts a tiny bit. It's annoying. Scale is also an issue that becomes very apparent in AR porn - with the exception of the latest SLR scenes then most scenes features giants. It's unwatchable in my book and I wouldn't be surprised that if those scenes were people first impression of AR porn, well they would call AR porn an abomination. Finally any scene without the male actor in a suit is useless for me. I already had it like that in the Quest 2 but in the Quest 3, well I can't watch those scenes. I don't see the point and I rather just watch a regular VR scene instead.

                      That said I think AR porn has the potential to really revolutionize this media as when you get it right there in the sweet spot, yeah it's just so engaging and thrilling. I do feel though there some way to go yet in needed improvements and we for sure need a far larger library in AR scenes from different studios and different performers.
