  • Meta Quest 3 Open Facial Interface, Don't not sleep on this!

another great solution is halo strap without any facial interface, improved fov and passthrough immersion 🙂

Vrsumo2017 Sold. A trip to Best buy is on order for tonight it seems. Though looking at it quickly it is hard to tell why it would be better for PT. It looks like it may make taking a hit a weed easier.

    Metamucil cuz it's open, and you get more eye sight of your full body. Kinda hard to explain, but with this open facegaurd I feel like I'm not looking threw Binoculars anymore, I like it.

      Vrsumo2017 Yeah I agree. I have been using an open facial interface for my Apple vision pro for the last few months (with the lenses pretty much hanging in front of my eyes). This weekend I tried closing it up again and suddenly that 'binocular' feeling got back, I had actually totally lost that the last few months! So yeah, definitely agree, an open design really helps with losing that binocular feeling.

        harigeharry know what I've noticed with this open facegaurd, it got rid of the binocular overlap and my lens don't look circle anymore they look wider like a rounded Rectangle. 👍

          Vrsumo2017 I didn't find it to be a vast improvement, but it was an improvement worthy of the investment so I thank you for the recommendation. Added bonus is that it allowed me to get to itches I get plagued with under the mask without needing to remove.

          Vrsumo2017 did it really get rid of the overlap? This is the main reason I prefer to use my pico 4 over the quest 3. I have the BOBOVR M3 Pro Battery Pack Head Strap for the quest 3 and I can pretty much use it without facial interface.

          This is how I see on the pico 4 vs the quest 3

            bboy7895 yeah bro it did, it looks more like the pico4 picture, wider circle...

            With out it the over lap is noticeable in q3

            Try pulling the vr away from your face and see if that helps the over lap, with the original face guard the outline of the lenses looked kinda awkward to me, I pulled out the glass adjustment to max and this helped sum, but I bought a amvr q3 facegaurd and added my thicker fabric cushion and I have it pulled out for glasses to max, and it fixed the over lap, was barely noticeable. But with this new open facial guard the overlap not even noticeable, looks perfect.

            It come with two sizes I use the thicker one.

            They kinda itchy after a while, maybe like an hour, but I noticed it drys up fast if you happen to sweat with it on playing games.

            But I think it made a real difference with the over lap, plus I like hows it open, much easier moving around with it on.

              Vrsumo2017 Ill buy and see. If this work, I might not need to buy the pico 4 ultra, but well see.

              n0den it helps the over lap, but lens size wise, pico4 still has a big fov, looks like huge circle lense.

              I just wish the pt worked great. Still good headset tho.

              Vrsumo2017 I just got the cover today and the overlap is still there. I guess ill buy the pico 4 ultra and sell my quest 3.

                bboy7895 try putting it on and pushing it in more to ur face till you see the over lap disappear, it should look perfect...hey bro I switch the default cushion with a vrcover cushion and I can barely see the over lap again now, so I'm assuming it depends how it sits on your face...try pushing in more into ur face, cuz I push it in I see the overlap go away, If that works maybe tighten the headset tighter or get a thinner cushion, u try both cushions?

                And I have my iPad at 66, if that helps too. 🤷‍♂️

                But what you think about the openness? I haven't gone back to the original.

                  Haf, vr is always so mind-blowing 🤯
                  And sum literally think it's just for games, when I mention the web browser. YouTube, social apps are available in a quest, the response is "I thought it was just for games" 👀

                  Apple marketed their avp all wrong, smh first ever "spatial computer" who the hell even heard the word spatial, most are not gonna know wtf that is. Stupid apple, your a phone company.

                  You say vr and most assume vr games. It's the #1 thought when you say vr to random consumer who's never even thought about buying vr.

                  VR"?...Oh yeah. That head game thing, the vr, lol 😆

                  It's kinda mind blowing for some when I explain the real shit to them about vr, eyes get big 👀

                  Vrsumo2017 Im not sure how much I can pull away, but ill give that a try and see and open is def better for passthrough, no doubt about that. I'm hoping there would be an open mask like that for the ultra.

                  Quest 3 would have been the perfect headset for me, better color and more crispy compare to the pico 4, but the overlap was too much for me.

                    bboy7895 open mask like that for the ultra.

                    There was a guy on YouTube made 3d printed open for Pico 4.

                    Might be able get one from him.

                      Vrsumo2017 Just got the pico 4 ultra, and its pretty much the same as the quest 3 just without the stupid binocular overlap. Only con right now is, deovr keep crashing...... I think the passthrough might even better than the quest 3, but not by much.

                      I cant wait to try it. Thanks for the suggesiton!
