mebejoe Pico 4

Vrsumo2017 my understanding was that he was saying the camera should move closer so you could really zoom in close on a blowjob rather than watch it from a realistic distance.

I’ve no issue with models leaning in closer, that’s totally different. The doggy style thing you mention where she kneels up and leans back is fine but I wouldn’t want the whole doggy section shot like that. I’m an ass guy so I like to see the girls ass too and doggy is the best position for that when the girl is fully bent over, face down, ass up!

Vrsumo2017 in fact as I always find women too small, I use the zoom: it makes them bigger

SchnuppiLilac

sylvan I think the main difference is that zooming will move the girl (and your virtual dick) closer towards you while increasing the horizontal offset a little will make the girl appear bigger but will not change her position.

sylvan

SchnuppiLilac ah yes, thanks

Vrsumo2017

Man, anyone know about this quest lite coming later? I'm thinking another quest GO but just for media players, web browsers and better pass through, what else would it be, a liter quest? 🤦‍♂️

SchnuppiLilac

Vrsumo2017 Half the price of Q3, could be a pure VR headset with no PT and fresnel lenses.

Vrsumo2017 this quest lite coming later

What's also coming later, according to my local Amazon, is the 512 GB Q3. Available in 3 to 7 months. How do they come up with these numbers? If one of the two guys who build it gets run over by a car, it will take twice as long but better add another month just to be safe? 😃

Not sure where you are. I'm in the US. It's available here now. I got mine from Amazon delivered two days ago.

mebejoe I am farther away from the source. I assume that Meta is prioritising the US market before other regions. Here, it was not available on release day and today I saw these ridiculously high numbers (better order now if you want to have it for Xmas 2024). Seems that also the people who pre-ordered didn't get one so far. Situation for the 128 GB version is much better and I will most likely go for that one anyway.

Zooming in distorts the video. It warps it and destroys the quality. It’ll make it closer but you sacrifice quality/resolution. Zooming out makes it crisper and sharper but it also makes it less immersive and is more like you’re in the room watching her bang some other dude and it takes you out of first person. The horizontal offset just shifts the image equally left or right so it doesn’t affect quality, from what I understand.

Hurto11 I'm a chronic zoomer-outer (not all the way but halfway between default and max zoom out) as I prefer the clarity. Clarity adds immersion, scale adds immersion, so its personal preference.

I don't know enough about the tech to know if 512 gives any advantage of 128. I dropped the extra $$$ because, I guess, just in case?

sylvan

Ventriloquist_Tacos I often find women too small: so zoom in, but actually loss of quality, too bad

mebejoe

Ventriloquist_Tacos I'm a chronic zoomer-outer (not all the way but halfway between default and max zoom out)

Me too, but I go the max -- can't zoom any of these out far enough for me -- maybe because I'm tall and the stunt dick body matches up better to mine when I'm laying down

Ventriloquist_Tacos

mebejoe I have the G2 too and agree the Q3 is better. When you do the math they have very close to the same resolution, but the PANCAKE LENSES are a big deal. Pancakes only for me, from now on. Now we just desperately need OLED and Jack that res up to 3500×3500 per eye or better. 🙂 The latter will only be in high end devices for awhile obviously, but I'm calling OLED with 2500x2500+ for Quest 4 now.

Pico 4 available on Walmart for 380$

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pico-4-All-In-One-Virtual-Reality-Headset-128GB-New/2922304531?from=/search

I bought mine off Walmart. Price was a lil more tho. Good purchase 👍

Vrsumo2017 Pico 4 available on Walmart for 380$

I'll sell my Pico 4 (256GB version) -- used about a dozen times, with a really cool upgraded strap that has swappable batteries and two extra batteries for $250 if anybody wants them. Just PM me. Will include shipping in the continental USA. Still have original box too. If nobody wants it here, I'll just ebay it. But I'd rather let one of you have first chance

I only bought it for the pass through -- if you don't care about the pass through, the marginal difference between the MQ3 and Pico 4 probably isn't worth the extra money.

After playing around with it for a couple days, I changed my mind. It's way better than Q2 in every way. My first run through I didn't have it on my face the way it should be, and didn't have some of settings where I like them. Quality is better and so is FOV as well as overall performance. You can sharpen/brigten the video and not lose FPS like you would with Q2. color passthrough is great. Sure a bit grainy (haven't tried it outdoors in daylight yet), but like night and day over Q2 which was super dark, grey and couldn't even move around clearly. With this I could go about my day like normal, read text messages, etc. with no issue. Couldn't do that before.

Still has a ways to go, and I think Apple's headset is going to totally shatter PT as we know it, it's going to be absolutley incredible...unfortunately not something any of us could really afford. Even if I could, not sure I would feel good about it. If it was 1k I'd consider it, but 3.5k? Hell no. Even if it's the real deal.

Having spent several hours in the pas few days, with the Quest 3, I've come to an exciting conclusion: it's a massive leap forward from my previous devices. In this review, ill dive into the Quest 3's incredible improvements and how it stacks up against the Pimax 8KX and G2 Reverb. I have even, revisiting older videos with the Quest 3 has been an eye-opening experience ..they look significantly better(Watching 8K videos on platforms like SLR and CzechVR feels incredibly real with the Quest 3, especially those up-close moments.)

Clarity and Sweet Spot:
What sets the Quest 3 apart is its remarkable clarity, and it's all thanks to those pancake lenses. But here's the kicker – the sweet spot covers the entire field of view unlike the Reverb or 8KX, creating an unparalled sense of presence
Field of View (FOV):
Way better than G2 Reverb. Less than 8KX in theory but feels way better coz the 8KX is warping and somehow unpleasant and not very clear. Wheres here the entire FOV is clear.
Eye Comfort: Way better than either. I used to spend 2 hours in 8KX and my eyes hurt all day. With Q3 none of that.
Mixed Reality Passthrough:
This feature is a killer. U can have the girl in ur room , on ur bed, creating another level of immersion for me. this feature is really cool.
Overall Ratings:
Quest 3: 8/10
Pimax 8KX: 5/10
Reverb G2: 4/10

albertleder Glad to hear this. Did you test quest3 with pcvr mode?l think maybe av1 helps a lot it brings the same effect with half bitrates

[deleted]

albertleder Quest 3: 8/10

I agree. It would be 9/10 if it had a quantum dot layer. At this price point in should have had a quantum dot layer.

albertleder

sheldoncooper I actually only use it wirelessly. My porn is on my HDDs which I then stream onto my quest using DLNA and play the files locally on the quest. This means there is no compression or anything. So AV1 actually doesnt matter for me.

I'm far too lazy and really don't have the time to read the whole thread, I just want to ask is the Quest 3 enough of an improvement over the Quest 2 just to use for SLR and if I will notice a quality jump? I wont be using it for games and I have zero interest in passthrough as I really don't see the point in it and honestly I'm not too happy the way the site is going with passthrough but that's a whole different conversation for a different thread, I just want to know if its a worthwhile upgrade just to watch regular SLR and nothing else? Thanks

albertleder

xxxscottyxxx short answer: yes absolutely

Vrsumo2017

xxxscottyxxx pass through and games a side, imo I stick to the q2, unless you willing to pay 500$ just to get rid of the sweet spot or the lens rings, and i also heard 8k looks better.

I have no q3 yet but I've read and watched many reviews, and that's my assumption, no interest in pass through color or games? Then why spend the 500$

Plus meta coming out with a q3 lite for cheaper maybe that one will have same pancake lense and maybe no pass through, 🤔...no one really knows yet though.

Ventriloquist_Tacos

xxxscottyxxx yes, it is worth it without a doubt over the Quest 2. I owned the Q2 and gave it to a friend for free. The fresnel lenses suck, and the resolution is dated. Unless you are blind you will see a significant difference if those are your only two reference points.
