Quest 3 announced
- Edited
spanker up grade
Honestly I think this will be the last vr I buy, unless the shit breaks or something, I'll use the warranty to replace it but upgrading to a newer q4 or Pico 5? Nah, think I'll be good with the q3 
I had Hella fun with my gear vr for bout 5 years, only reason I upgraded to a q2 was cause they updated my s10+ and it no longer worked on the gear vr, only reason I bought Pico 4 was just for color pt, I'll be buying q3 just for the better pt. I'm pretty sure q3 pt will be way better then Pico 4 pt. 
Tobad we can't turn in the helmets like phones and just upgrade with a new plan or something. That's how they should do it.
i enjoy watching netflix/prime shows on it...so whatever also makes that better...measurably of course
kinda why i didn't touch the kid's q2 that was a foot away from me

One of the main advantages of the Quest 3 model will be its pass-through cameras, which will allow users to capture moderately high-quality VR180 videos (2 cameras at 18ppd, or 4K each). Have you considered creating a sub-section of this platform that would allow for user-submitted content?
[deleted] you mean we can actually create vr180 content with the quest 3 now??????

I still use my GearVR on a regular basis when traveling, and, in many respects, it is superior to the Quest 2. For instance, the color matching is more accurate due to Samsung's AMOLED screens, and with the Galaxy S20, there's 12GB of RAM on board and essentially the same processor as Quest 2 (the XR2 is basically a modified Snapdragon 865). Comparatively, the Quest 3 is a major upgrade. It features two LCD screens with a PPI of about 1,218 per screen, offering a resolution of 4,138 x 2,228 for 9,136,704 pixels at a refresh rate of 90Hz. This is significantly higher than the Galaxy S20 with GearVR, which has a resolution of 3,200 x 1440 for 4,608,000 pixels at 60Hz. The Quest 3's pixel density almost doubles that of any Samsung device running GearVR, marking the end of the phone-based VR in most parts of the world, among middle-class communities.

Yes, I believe so. In fact, the Quest 3 should allow users to record their own videos at a resolution of 18PPD, which is just under the resolution of the Quest 3 screens. The device features two 4K cameras for full-color pass-through, which, assuming the processing power is high enough, could allow users to record content. While the videos may need to be relatively small due to the internal storage of the device, I think this is a feasible and worthwhile feature to explore immediately, given the focus of this platform.
The videos would be in 3D, but not necessarily with the same level of compactness and quality as VR180. However, they would offer a unique and different perspective from what is available on other websites. They would be a direct capture of what the wearer experiences in their own headset, or the equivalent of VR180 with a resolution reduction.

[deleted] could allow users to record content
What kind of content do you expect to be coming from Q3 users, assuming that there is no demand for POV fapping? The (amateur) videos I have seen here that were filmed by the male performer with a handheld VR camera were usually shaky and rather unwatchable.

SchnuppiLilac What kind of content do you expect to be coming from Q3 users,
Solo masturbation and entertaining niche activities from content creators. It's not financially feasible for SLR to produce solo films.
Content from social media women who might not have access to a VR180 camera but would own a Quest 3 ("amateur" content).
SchnuppiLilac It all depends of course if the quality is watchable at all. That remains to be seen but if doable I wouldn't mind see content from independent performers that can't shoot high quality VR for various reason.
Eg. I have been in contact with Mindi Mink and she would love to shoot VR on her own but her budget is limited and she doesn't have the knowhow to set up a VR camera anyway. I would be more than happy watching lower VR quality content from someone like her that do my kink. It could be a way to introduce VR to some of these individual performers that have large fanbases.
Trying to use a $500 VR helmet as a production camera is probably not going to yield the best results, even aside from the that that you'd want to attach any recording device to something more stable than a performer's face. Given how little would be invested in the passthrough cameras compared to the whole headset, it would be like spending $30k on a BMW so you can use the reversing camera on a movie instead of a $30k RED + steadicam rig. The results would be miserable, especially inside without a serious lighting kit.

OnlyFans videos are often 720p. People pay high prices for them. It should be up to the creator whether they feel they can earn money from their content.

Weren't three of the top songs on iTunes last month recorded on a Samsung smartphone?
[deleted] damn, no way!??? 
[deleted] it is superior to the Quest 2
I thought so too when I first bought the q2, I was like wtf?? this is what all the hype about, light glares, lens rings, sweet spot?? I had none of them issues on the gearvr, i snap my phone in put it on open deo or skybox and it was go time. Battery lasted longer too.
Q2, I put it on I had glares, face discomfort with the default face guard, it was heavier then the gearvr, I had to spend money searching for a good comfortable face guard, it literally took me at least 2 to 3 months to find a good comfort zone with the q2, but definitely gearvr imo was a better experience for vrp. 
[deleted] It should be up to the creator whether they feel they can earn money from their content.
I'm not trying to limit the rights of the creators, I'm just saying recording passthrough will look worse than shit and you're not even recording more than what you can see in the headset - think about the FOV when all you're recording is the fixed view of the headset in one position, even aside from the motion sickness. Any time you move your head it's just black space, so you'd have to deactivate the 6DOF that even cam girls provide. Phones have good cameras and can record good audio, so the comparison isn't relevant.

Oliver Anthony's recent success on iTunes, with four of the top ten songs last month, has raised questions about the importance of equipment versus the performer. Three of the songs were recorded on his cellphone, like this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c_Nqlnn40w.

In addition to its impressive internal storage, the Galaxy S10 and S20 series feature microSD card readers, allowing you to expand your storage capacity even further. When traveling, you can simply pop in a 1TB card and enjoy all the content you need, without worrying about running out of space. Plus, the cards allow for file sizes above the limits of USB-C transfer for the Android operating system, so you can keep your movies and other large files in their original format without any issues. With the Galaxy S20 5G's powerful 12GB of RAM and equivalent processor to Quest 2, you can easily play these films on your device.
[deleted] hell yeah, hell they literally filming movies on iPhones, I forgot what movie it was but it made it to theaters, it was filmed on an iPhone.
Music too easily recorded on phones these days, one app come to mind is bandlab that app like a studio/social network and it got autotunes lol 
I already committed one time they should record pov with a male model and a pornstar with quest pro just for the hell of it. 
I'm sure someone out there using it for pov sex recordings lol
[deleted] right, can't add no extra space to quest 2 or 3, i would use skyboxvr and stream from my computer to the gear vr, i would have so many files to go threw 
Lol I'd buy so many screen protectors too, I'd keep my s10+ in top shape keep the screen clean scratch free. 
I had to return it one time tho, cus I fell asleep watching youtube and had it on bright and it burn my screen, it had like a outline of the youtube screen, good thing I had warranty, after that I put my phone on dark mode and if I was watching youtube before going to sleep I'd put the brightness all the way down and make youtube screen small.
Lol had to take extra good care of the phone
But hell yeah I had Hella fun with the gearvr.

Looks like an answer for apple. I looked at the Q3, the cameras don't look like 180, and practically they have a fov similar to what is seen in the headset. Apparently it will be a 3D screen, according to the virtual desktop.
It looks like the era of 3D films awaits us, only instead of blue-red glasses we will use headsets and AR space for a virtual TV.
If the Quest 3 can record 3D video, why wouldn't Zuckerberg mention this at Connect? People would have loved that. It would have also enticed people to buy the 512gb version. Instead he was telling Snoop Doggy Dogg that he wanted to 'unsheath his sword' on text which wasn't very funny and his joke went down like a lead balloon.
theHobbit
Perhaps this is an afterthought. I believe more in video recording on Q3, at least it has IPD like a person. But we suggest recording 3D video on an iPhone with an IPD of 2cm, and even on different cameras. There is no question of any 180vr.

8 DAYS!

Meta Connect didn't exactly go down smoothly. The Zuck is a young father now essentially unaware of half of what his company does. He's terrified for his life, which is why he has spent $100,000,000 building an underground bunker -- with A.I. driven mech drones!
Hey, guys! Check this out. It's insane

thatoculusdude looks good threw the pt, but what it look like in a dim lighting room is what I wanna know, I wanna be able to put my colored light bulb on different colors and hopefully it still look good just low light and not grainy like Pico 4.
We shall see, 8 days!
- Edited
mnmlikereal I think it was but not as bad as Pico 4.
I saw a guy on youtube had pt on with qpro and he had colored lights, it's look decent enough
I preordered the q3.
I am very sceptical when it comes to the passthrough releases and i hope the q3 will change my mind. 
i was always wondering about the phone...has the size for the extra lens? BUT maybe apple was waiting for its headset
the quality might be just good enough to create a little CAM girl boom on NEW content for simple stuff.
that's cool...mine JUST says - We'll ship it by October 10.
spanker Anything that does not use 180 fisheye lenses is a feature from an advertisement for family values, take pictures of your children and send them to your parents to look at their three-dimensional grandchildren.
Apple made a headset because it had to make a headset. It’s logical to give Apple users the opportunity to shoot content on their internal platform, otherwise, everyone wants to be a creator.
But this is all Kandao QooCam EGO format

[deleted] So the test shows that the best could be recorded is 4k video (2k for each eye) using Meta Quest Developer HUB
as said above quest 3 passthrough cameras are not recording 180 degree, but rather flat 120-100 if not 90 degree, so its possible to make flat stereo video with some effort.
below are the settings that can be selected in MQDH, so for stereo we choose both eyes, with max bitrate 40 mbps
however as i already said the maximum resolution is 4k 60fps
and eyes are rotated in the image. not sure why they are rotated, but that can be fixed with some stereo correction applications.
This is not new and last year i already made a stereo video tutorial with passthrough from quest pro.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. I had heard from a reliable source that the cameras were upgraded. The specifications also indicated "4K", not two "2K" cameras, although I suppose the lower resolution makes much more sense.
I would still recommend a section for Social Media content creators. Apple Visision will certainly have better cameras.
[deleted] no worries, thanks for bringing that interesting topic, we were truly curious too.
Maybe there is something we yet dont know about it, but for now its all we found out.
You might have confused it with 4K display?

Quest 3 pass through with figmaXR
Look how it filters your whole environment!
That's what pt needs, filters...so you can filter your room with natural colors so your room environment and video image of the hotties fits together as one image
I want a party Lazer light filter
Where it will dim your room and have party lights flashing in your room and the light reflect off the video image of the models. Maaan with sum music in the background, holy pt jizz! 
Edit:
Yall know in alpha production if they had Lazer party lights in the room thoes lights would still show with pass through on.
I've seen pt hack video work like that.
