Quest 3 announced

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.

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

Vrsumo2017

the quest 3 is worth a buy same like the pico 4...

but the difference and huge thing is the depth sensors and its all in color...which pico 4 lacks.
the passthrough is similar to pico 4 but sligthly better in any way cause of depth and scale is 1:1 and you just feel immersed while in passthrough...

in pico 4 you dont gonna have such level of immersed when in passthrough.

but pico 4 is enough for porn in passthrough too and its rly nice too.

quest 3 has just has more possibility which still in progress when it comes to passthrough ar porn...
like your hands infront of object and tittis or your dick which probably will be possible soon. ^^

and or if you put a model behind reallife objects then it will stay there and behind those objects...

same is probably possible with pico 4 too but you need to learn unity or unreal and do everything manually if want achieve this.

that why depth sensor is a must thing and just worth. it makes everything much simple for user...

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.

i played miracle pool...

damn this already worth the money and quest 3.

you can get that game in app lab for free and try it out.

just need space in your room because that pool table is not scalable but probably possible later in update...

the quest 3 makes possible to go and walk in your own room and you see an gangbang there going on...on your couch and everywhere...

that the real future of passthrough and what will be possible soon ^^

and if this gonna be everything in 3d models then this will just blow everything away...

porn industry gonna change hard in future with those vr glasses and passthrough,

and i am not even talk about realtime cam girls which gonna interact with you in your room and space...
this will be another level of porn consume too.

Lol the way anti pt users feel about pt porn I feel about some of these pt games I've seen in pt
Like pool and table tennis like why would I wanna be in my living room instead of a pool bar or table tennis arena.

Yall know whats odd and funny at the same time, if you search quest 3 and search by date on YouTube almost every reviewer you see are like men, they like in they're 30s with beards, lol like wth, I just thank that's strange, you'd think there be teens or early 20s reviewing it, is vr aimed at 30 year Olds and up? Lol ...idk just thought that was strange.
One guy look late 40s maybe 50 lol

Someone should make a video "how good is quest 3 for porn and pass through porn" pg for youtube and deo, rated x here on slr. Lol

I'm surprised slr labs haven't done this yet, show off that alpha pron son!

not a lot of time with it...some 2D sites like CB and cool lil JAV site are very good. interface with cb is better on resolution, but the interface of getting in and out of full screen is dumb...which you do to tip and chat, but it leaves the open window way off center, which needs immediate correcting each time. JAV site is great and no issues

hoping for controller control updates from this place

have apps like bigscreen...the sample/previews of 3d movie look very cool...which you can rent. kinda MAKES sense to watch REG 3d movies with a 700-dollar headset...it was probably possible on the other headsets also...while i have had bigscreen, i never used it from before.

Vrsumo2017 Standing doggy is always too high up and far away IMO. 90% of the pixels are devoted to the background and 10% to the woman's body. Starting the camera from a lower height would resolve this. The problem with trying to replicate a "real life distance" with the cam position is the actual effect isn't equivalent. It's more distant, like Im a 7 foot 8 NBA player without glasses having sex with a woman "way down there". Requiring a zoom-in, once again, ruins image quality, at least at the current 8k max.

The same concept above applies to standing missionary.

There also needs to be more ass closeups, eye level gaping shots during anal too down by her ass. And closeups at the end with the facials. The cum play example I always refer to as the gold standard is the Freya Von doom SLR 8k scene, but for whatever reason, they choose not to replicate that.

Overall, somehow flat porn has figured out a way to be dynamic and compelling, but most of VR misses this by its obsession with "accurate POV".

While I don't have as high of opinion of their video quality as I used to (its okay though), Czech VR probably does the best in terms of that dynamism and closeup thing I'm talking about.

doorsareopen You mention you're in the minority of those that prefer non POV. Well, I'm in your camp, and even if a minority, there's a lot of us and definately a market to be tapped.

I especially prefer non POV for gangbangs. To me, the holy grail would be to have a studio who does videos like analvids.com but in non POV VR. (Though I can do without a piss version like they have). So far the most promising on that crazy hardcore end would be Putalocura VR, and sometimes SinsVR or Realjam, when they decide to do it. The closest actual video I've seen to the above described analvids style would be the Billie Star gangbang.

Ventriloquist_Tacos yes, it is worth it without a doubt over the Quest 2

Here are some of the issues I encountered:

Negatives:
• The LCD screens have high resolution, but the darks are terrible, especially when watching cinema films.
• The desktop computer interface is unacceptable for a device that requires a desktop PC for most media (128 GB storage for most sales). VirtualDesktop shouldn't be an essential purchase for a device at this price point.
• The nose cover lets in too much light, which is completely unacceptable. The device doesn’t work well in the dark.
• There is no default video app of acceptable quality, forcing consumers to buy software for essential functions (SkyBox or HereSphere, since Deo doesn't support letterbox or multiple language tracks).
• No suitable web browser. Meta browser is covered with advertisements that cannot be removed. (Can side-load Chromium, but Firefox Reality is dead)
• The Quest 3 is very expensive relative to its benefits over other devices. I have a Quest 2 and Gear VR. Out of these three, the Gear VR is better suited for my usage in certain scenarios (OLEDs for watching films, lighter device, more storage for travel, longer battery life to watch a full 2 hour film; much more secure and private; 1 TB + of storage, for when I'm too lazy to activate AirLink).
• Additionally, further registration is required to make the product usable (developer option to remove the guardian assistant, install custom home environments, download free content, ADB removal of bloatware).

Despite these drawbacks, I still don't regret purchasing the Quest 3. Overall, it is a great piece of technology and worth considering if you want an immersive VR experience.

Heard the quest 3 lite will be with same lenses as q2, no color pass through, will come with no controllers but will have new chip as q3.

They say this it but not for sure.

But wtf, no color pass through? And same lenses as q2, my guess they just trying to get as much people to buy vr cuz they say it will 200 to 300$ its got the new chip, so probably at sum point q2 won't even be supported anymore.

Also I heard sum q3 users are saying they don't know if they got a defective pass through, I've notice some reviewers showing pass through look better then others, one video I saw guys pass through had a lot of grain.

Video q3 pt discussion

My guess, probably got tossed around maybe dropped during delivery.

Vrsumo2017 I heard otherwise, same crap fresnel lenses as Q2, but perhaps with better resolution panels.

I agree with Sadlyitsbradley (YouTube) take. Really boring and bad direction Meta is taking things, if true about releasing a Quest Lite and axing plans for a Pro 2 anytime soon. Bottom of the barrel experiences for children people have been having for years instead of releasing a Quest Pro 2 with OLED and high res.

Quest Pro 1 failed because of horrific marketing about using work apps, and for putting junky resolution LCD panels into a $1,500 HMD.

If Meta were smart and released a device that was actually high end and compelling, like a Quest Pro 2 with 4k per eye resolution uOLED panels and a nice chipset and form factor, people would actually start to see VR's potential. Even if they sold way less than the regular Quest series (which they would), it would give them competitive product presence at a higher tier and be a good "cheaper" alternative to Apples device. Even priced at say, $1,750, it would be half the cost.

As a Quest 3 fan, Meta sure manages to screw up product line decisions frequently which is why their VR division has lost billions of dollars. I want them to succeed.
